How to feed my cat and dog together without them stealing food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 14 lbs

How should I set eating time table for my cat and dog at the same time, as cats don't listen much. Sometimes they fight over exchanging their food.

I would recommend feeding your cat up high and in a different room then your dog. That way your dog cannot get Tiger's food and Tiger is in a completely different room then your dog. I would also recommend shutting the door of whatever room you feed Tiger in. You can also crate your dog during feeding times. That way he just gets his food.
