As I've mentioned in other threads, I feed my cats Brandon Farms Naturals wet cat food. The cost runs about $1 for a 6.5 ounce can. Their dog food comes in a 13.2 ounce can and costs $1.35. I know that normally dog food isn't good for cats due to different nutritional needs, but the ingredients list on the two cans seems to be almost identical. The dog food even has taurine in it.

The only difference I'm seeing is the dog food has potassium chloride and lacks calcium carbonate, d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride and niacin. Is there any reason why I couldn't save some money by feeding my cats the dog food instead and adding niacin and calcium in a supplement?
