Animals will not die from starvation if they have something edible around, but they do have interesting ways of holding off on eating anything 'questionable' until they hungry 'enough'.
Cat food is not formulated the same as dog food and over the long run, these animals should eat their respective grubs.
Another interesting observation about dogs and eating (as with many animals in the wild)...
If a dog knows there will be food to eat the next day, they eat moderately and many (not all) will stop when they have had enough. Dogs experiencing irregular feeding routines (even just times of day changes) switch to survival mode and scarf back everything they are fed every time they are fed as a protection in the event of (their fear of) not being fed again in a timely manner.
I have saved a tremendous amount of dog food (6 dogs) by simply keeping their buckets completely filled at all times - they almost ignore the food - much like we take things for granted until they are threatened.
Thank you for all the information i learned alot. i guess it is kind of like when i go on a diet , i want to eat everything in sight but wen i am not i could care less.
