All pet owners have been there. You check the cupboard at dinner time and realize that you're out of dog food. With a hungry pup waiting, it can be tempting to throw them a quick slice of meat and call it a day. But we asked Lynne James, a vet for PDSA, what you can feed your dog when you run out of food—and ensure they still get a nutritious meal. "It is important to know that, whilst switching out their normal food can be done for a meal or two, it is extremely difficult to create a properly balanced diet for your pet at home," James told Newsweek .
