I would advise against feeding cat food to a dog long term. Every now and then is fine and may cause a bit of diarrhea or vomiting, but in the long term, I would recommend trying various dog foods and see if she will eat canned versus dry, add chicken broth to the food or cook a home cooked meal for her ( www.balanceit.com ).
