Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pumpkin. An occasional meal of the dog pate should not harm her assuming she is free of any underlying medical conditions. However, she should not eat it longterm. Cat food has an amino acid known as taurine that is essential for cats. This is will be deficient in the dog food. I hope this information helps!
