That was my thought as well. Wild canids go days without food sometimes and they certainly have a very varied diet. And they seem to do just fine.

The first sentence is certainly true and while I will occasionally fast a dog for a day and don't expect any to drop dead for missing a meal or two, it is also true that our dogs are not wild canids. The second one can be quite questionable. Longevity and good health in the wild is far from a certainty. Mother nature can be very cruel and the idealized view of nature is deceptive.
