Feeding

Feeding time is where most cat-and-dog households run into trouble. Dogs are fast, curious, and opportunistic, and cat food is simply too tempting to resist. A little structure around where, when, and how each animal eats keeps mealtimes calm, prevents food theft, and protects the sensitive digestive needs both species have.

What this covers

✓

Separate feeding areas

Using rooms, baby gates, or elevated stations to keep dogs away from cat bowls.

✓

Microchip feeders

Selective feeders that only open for the pet they’re programmed to recognise.

✓

Food storage

Keeping both diets sealed, labelled, and out of reach of the other pet.

✓

Preventing food theft

Routines and barriers that stop a fast dog from finishing a cat’s meal.

✓

Water stations

Placing fresh water where both animals can drink without competing.
