How fast does your dog eat?

Daisy gulps her food. She can eat a large chicken breast in about 5 seconds. A chicken leg quarter takes longer b/c of the tearing involved and the bones. Maybe 1 minute 1/2 on that.

daisy eats about 4 cups a day as she is a very hyper dog and she just nibbles hear and there. i put 2 cups in with her last night and she still had some this morning.

Cincy is our woofer. We make all the dogs sit and wait until everyone is served before they start eating. This is partially becuase Cincy would be done before the other dogs even got their food, and then try to take theirs.

Sadie used to eat super fast. When she was a puppy she got sick a few times becuase she would eat so fast. She has slowed down some (partially using the one piece at a time Phred mentioned), but not a lot.

Spot is our slow eater/wanderer. He likes to take a few pieces, wander out to the living room, see what is going on. Carry a few more pieces here or there. We have to watch the girls, cause they are ready to move in a steal his food, and he'd just walk away and let them.

Molly and Prince inhale their food. Within seconds, it's all gone. I have to keep them away from Astra's bowl because she eats so slowly. She will get a mouthful of kibbles, run to the living room, drop them and then start playing with them. Then after 5 minutes of wooing and scratching at the kibble, she will go get another mouthful and repeat the process.
