It would be better for them is they ate strictly their own food. Dog food
doesn't contain the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy cat (taurine
is essential, a cat could go blind without it). Having said that, if they
have access to their own food, I don't think eating dog food also will harm
them if it's only for a week or two.

Thanks for the input.
I would provide them with their own food as usual,. but they have never been
around dog food so I dont know if they would like it and eat it a lot too
during the 2- 3 weeks.
