We have a huge bag of kibble that we’ve decided is not high quality enough for our pups. Can we feed that stuff to the squirrels?

Squirrels are opportunists, especially when it comes to eating. So, if you put out dog food, they will definitely eat it up and likely bring their family members too! However, dog food is designed to suit a canine’s nutritional needs, not those of a squirrel. So, feeding dog food to squirrels could lead to nutritional imbalances that could hard the squirrels over time.

Keeping with seeds, nuts, and fruits would be a better choice for those hungry squirrels and perhaps you consider donating the dog food to a local animal shelter instead.
