No, i fed my cat dog food ( i didnt mean to..it DID NOT eat cat food no matter what i did! ) Even if it is safe for dogs and cats to eat chocolate ( or grapes, whatever!) i still wouldnt feed them that cause they might start acting wierd...

haha no, they won't go blind for eating dog food....you shouldn't feed dogs chocolate or fruit, because they can develop worms and hurt the lining of their stomachs....as far as cats eating chocolate, you probably shouldn't, but i've let my cats lick the bowl of my chocolate ice cream, occasionally and they're just fine...

most dog foods do not have taurine in it, which is a necessary nutrient that cats need for sight. So yes, cats can go blind if they only eat dog food.

Chocolate is bad for cats and dogs. It has a chemical in it that raises the heart rate. Baker's chocolate is the worst. If you cat or dog gets a few m & m's it wont hurt them, however half a pound of chocolate may.

grapes are not good for dogs either.
