What happens, in which case do they eat more?

  They get fat from eating the always available dry food. Wet food is way better for them, high moisture and protein, dry food is typically the equivalent of the junk food.

    I'm glad I asked. With my dog, it's the opposite. He binges wet food. Dry food I leave a bowl full at all times. He eats when he's hungry, no binging. Thought - cats typically need higher quality food than dogs, dogs are much more opportunistic. (And more similar to us in that respect, I guess.)

      That makes sense to me, my dog will eat until full, sometimes if she manages to find some scraps she won’t finish her dry food (we give her 3/4 cup day and night). Curious about the dog binging on wet food, how much are you making available?

        Rarely, it's a novelty and he loves it. But he gets an upset stomach, so I've gone back to (best quality I could find, no grain etc) dry food. I think for him, wet dog food and "found" human food are equally delicious. He likes the dry food too whenever I switch flavor, but tires of it over the weeks the bag lasts.
