How fast does your dog eat?

[GreyhoundGirl]

How fast does your dogs eat? Of course, this won't be very accurate, because some dogs have smaller mouths than others and some dogs eat different food. This will probably only be even for kibble, but if you wish to add non-kibble consuming dogs, that's fine too.

I am quite curious because I always think Jenny eats really fast, but I've never compared her to anything. We can measure in SPC- Seconds per cup. Jenny's 1/2 cup takes her 10 seconds, So Jenny eats 20 SPC.

I would add a poll, but I can't figure out how. If anyone knows how, feel free to add one.

Just thought it would be interesting...

My dog spends maybe about five minutes eating.
not really sure though,, i never timed him,, and
he eats once or twice a day

Jada eats very fast. She gulps her food. Diamond takes her time she eats farily slow. Then theres Ebony. I have never seen a dog eat so slow in my life.

My dogs scarf it. Especially Izzy. I dont think she even chews her food

[GreyhoundGirl]

Jen doesn't chew hers either. She just stuffs it into her mouth and flips her head back and wait for it to fall back.

You guys should all time 'em at the next meal.

Ready... Set... EAT !!!

I've never timed my dogs, but the fastest eater is Vallis, followed by Adele, and Marta is last. I can literally put the bowl down, turn around and look back and Vallis is all done with his meal (he gets about 3/4 cup twice a day).

Marta used to turn her nose up at food until we put her on a diet (she was getting bit chubby). Now she never does, but she's still a slow eater.

My dogs eat twice a day and always act like they're starving They all eat really fast, all bowls are clean and crumb free within minutes.

Kodie takes about 10 minutes to eat his.
Lucy wont start eating her dinner until Kodies finished his.She usually takes about 15 minutes once she starts.

Until we had a second dog, it would take Star a couple days to finish her food. No kidding, really! Once a second dog joined the family, she would eat it over a couple hours. Now she usually lets it sit a while and then eats it very slowly over an hour. She carries a couple pieces of kibble at a time from her bowl to another spot, drops them and crunches them one at a time. We're amazed.

Sherman doesn't waste any time. A few minutes and he's done. Then he sits several feet away from Star and stares at her until she eats hers too. She's got him trained not to mess with her food !

Sassy takes at least 24 hours to eat all the kibble in her bowl. Sometimes it lasts several days. Her wet food is down in less then 30 seconds. When we give her turkey, steak, or chicken she doesn't even chew it!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Tango takes about 25-25mins to eat her dinner, and about 10mins to eat her breakfast. Tia never finishes hers, we pick it up when Tango is finished. Winston is finished in about 5 minutes, but he does chew the kibbles. Morgan takes about 7mins, as she takes her time by drinking some of the water in her bowl before she eats any of the kibbles. My family has never had a gulper, they've all chewed their food.

Fenway eats slow.

[bckrazy]

Gonzo eats his 1 cup of kibble within a few minutes.

Fozzie eats his 1 cup immediately! I have to put it in a Kong & freeze it, or put it in his molecule ball, or he will inhale it. Like, in under 10 seconds, and I don't want to risk him choking or bloating.

Very slowly. We free feed so there's always food down and we have zero issues with food. No one over eats and no one inhales their food.
