Can Rabbits Eat Dog Food?

No, do not feed it. Dog food is formulated for omnivorous dogs, not fiber-dependent herbivorous rabbits.

Watch appetite and droppings after a substantial accidental meal and call a veterinarian if concerned.

Where It Fits in a Rabbit Diet

A rabbit stealing one kibble is different from being routinely offered dog food, but access should still be prevented.

Introducing This Food Safely

There is no reason to introduce this food. Prevent access and choose hay, leafy greens, herbs, or a tiny piece of an approved fruit instead.

When to Contact a Veterinarian

Contact a rabbit-savvy veterinarian promptly after a significant ingestion, or sooner when the food is potentially toxic. Bring the package or ingredient list when available.
