How fast does your dog eat?

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
