About how much food does this hold? My 5 month old great dane is already eating almost 3 cups 2x/day.

Well, I'm just feeding a dachshund, so couldn't say for sure, but I think that it would come close to holding 3 cups. It definitely slows our dog down--he is a 'gulper' of food & now he has a challenge!

It holds 3 to 4 cups with a small amount of the food heaping to get them started. It took my golden and rotty 5 minutes compared to a minute. Well worth it.

I just checked and it holds 5 cups of my medium breed kibble. Hope that helps!

I have the spiral one and I feel that it holds 2 cups perfectly. My idea of perfect is that with two cups the food only goes half way up the bowl (I want my pitbull to work for it a little bit! :) ). But I feel that you can probably do 3 cups just fine. If you are really conflicted, I can try adding 3 and let you know how it looks. Just let me know. Btw~ I use IAMS dry dog food to feed my dog.

Also look into the "drop" style it seams more accessible for the large dogs

My wife and I have a 65lb pitbull and we feed our dog about a cup and a half twice a day (3 cups per day total) A bag lasts us about a month and a half

I think a bag usually lasts me a little over a month and I feed my dog 2 cups a day, so a bit over 60 is my guess.

Funny you asked that....today I was wondering how many cups of food would be in the bag, how long it would last. The kibble is small, I opened it on the September 22 and I have gone through maybe a quarter of the bag, we use about 3 cups of food a day. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

I fit 1 1/2 cups of large bite dog food at a time. If feeding small dogs you can fit probably up to 2 1/2-3 cups. Its awesome!!! Hope that helps!

If youre asking how much to feed, i think it depends on your dogs.I have 2 poms weighing 7-8 lbs, feeding them 2x a day. One I feed 1/2 per serving (bc he's overweight) and the other 3/4 per serving (normal weight and very active). Yet they appear to be hungry, but these portions seem to maintain their weight in the long run.

I bought the 3" for our 14 lb. dog. It came today and I loaded it up with kibble, rolled it around a bit until some food came out so she knew what the point was, then let her at it. She's not real keen on the other toys she has to retrieve treats from but she loved it! This is how she's going to get her food from now on so it gives her a bit of a daily challenge. I like that you can increase or decrease the difficulty. The 3" is fine, at some point I may get a 5" just so it holds more food. Haven't had a problem with it getting stuck under furniture yet but she's not super aggressive with it. I bought the 3" for our 14 lb. dog.

I'm not sure but I have it dispensing about 1/8 of a cup 4 times per day and that is working just fine. I also have this plastic ball that has holes in in that i will put a tablespoon of dry food in it and he pushes it around with his nose and eats what comes out, this i do 2x per day and I also supplement his food with half a 3oz. can of food at dinner time. He does seem to be losing weight now or at least it seems like he has!

We put two cups of canidae and there is extra space. I would guess that 3 or 4 cups would be max. You also want to consider the kibble size. Canidae is relatvly small, and it works well. A larger kibble probably wouldn't work well. We love the bowl, it is very durable and it really help our dog who really used to inhale his food.

I have a 45 pound standard poodle with health issues that require a very low fat food. I feed 1 and 1/2 cups of hkp that I rehydrate and mix with 12 ounces of chicken breast and the enzymes he has to have. He gets this in several small meals over the course of the day. I tend to just keep a couple of boxes so I don't know exactly how long it lasts but it's 3 or 4 weeks.

Sorry I don't use this brand any more.. I was feeding a 18 month German Shepherd approximately 4 1/2 cups a day. The bag lasted approximately 5 weeks

I dont know the exact cups, but I can tell you my dog eats about 2ish cups a day (sometimes more some times less) and 1 bag lasted us a little over a month.

You will need at least one full bag of 30 lbs if not more. 15 lbs wont even last you 15 days. I feed my dog 4 cups of food a day too, and one 30 lb bag lasts me little under a month.

I agree with the post from D. Cohen. The food is so healthy that they don't need to eat as much. I have two little dogs (under 20 lbs) and they only get 1/4 cup two times a day. Their coats are shiny and they look healthy so it pleases me. Just my opinion but I have read some mixed reviews on the raw food diet so please do a little more research on that. Good luck! and I promise Orijen is worth every penny!!!!!!

The website feeding guide has 1|2 to 3/4 cups a day for 5-7 pounds. Look at the dog food website. s. So you are in the middle of the range. If you want to go up a bit you can.
