Predatory birds and snakes.
Different fishes in the ocean
Frogs and lizards
The above eat other based on size. So a grown hawk can eat a snake, but a snake can eat a hawk chick.
Frogs are sometimes cannibalistic (take for instance the Argentinian Horned Toad) and will eat anything that can fit in it's mouth.
The same is true of many carnivorous lizards, who will eat any lizard they can fit in their mouth.
Also lions and hyenas
Anacondas and caimans
Dragonfly larvae and tadpoles
Tarantulas and wasps
there are plenty...

Are you wondering if you can feed them exclusively the other species' food, or just whether they can have the occasional snack from the other pet's dish? For their primary diet, both dogs and cats need food designed for their own species. Cats are exclusive carnivores and can't break down plant material very well, so dog food will not give them enough of certain nutrients, particularly taurine. Meanwhile, cat food tends to be too high in fat and protein for dogs. As for snacking, cats are just fine snacking on dog food. However, if your dog has a sensitive stomach (especially common in puppies), then the high protein content of cat food could trigger digestive upset. Luckily, since cats are much better climbers than dogs, it's pretty easy to put the cat food out of the dog's reach.

In the Everglades, because of people releasing their pet python's into the wild, there are cases of alligators eating pythons and vice versa. Can't think of any others.

it's quite possible that two opportunistic species have the ability to eat each other up. I can't come up with any examples off the top of my head for you.

Worms and apes.
Apes eat worms when the apes are really hungry (they prefer fruit and grubs, though) and worms eat apes carcasses.

snakes & frogs for sure, just depends on the relative size of the individuals

Mongoose and snakes might be an example.
Guess your not including humans. ---> man/shark.

Mutually? Chimps have been documented killing and eating monkeys.
