We have a pug that eats 3/4 cups of dry food. What size bowl should we order?

We bought a large size and put 1 cup of large kernels in it. It fills up the bottom but we probably could have gotten by with a medium size. We bought it to slow our pups' eating down and it does so, at least some. If the food wasn't as spread out, it might not slow the eating down as much.

There isn't a huge difference in the small and medium..had the small as well and returned because it was defective. I think you're fine either small or medium, but prefer the medium as it does provide a bit more room and think it would slow the eating marginally.

If the pug is only ever going to eat 3/4 cup, get a small. I have a medium and it holds almost 2 cups for my black lab pup

Personally, I would go for the small if this is the largest amount of food this dog is going to ever eat.

sorry i am just now seeing your email. i would get a medium to spread the food out more, which would slow down eating just a tad :).

The Hills Science Diet large breed adult kibble is good size. I have a 90lb lab and he crunches it up before swallowing. Hope this helps!

They're big. My dogs get a cup and 1/2 in the morning and evening and that barely covers the bottom of the bowl. They can hold probably up to like 10 cups of dry food?

I would think a bowl about 16-20 ounces would be great for that size dog. I use the 20 ounce Snap'y Fit Water and Feed Bowl that can attach to a cage (just like the one in the photo) for both of my jack russel terrier and my dachshund/terrier mix, who range from 20 to 25 lbs, and also use one of the bowls for my cat who is <15 pounds, and I love these bowls. They are super easy to clean, and I bought them 2 years ago and the steel looks like new.

I have a lab/pointer mix (80lbs). Bowls are plenty big for food and water! Dog enjoys the stand very much. Good investment!

We bought the 3" for our 30lb adult corgi. Even that size is too big for her to get in her mouth (which she only tried until she figured out the point). It holds 1/2 her food, which allows us to add supplements to the other half of her food in the bowl.

I have a lab and he eats 1 1/2 cups of dry food twice a day. It easily holds 1 1/2 cups and any extras that he might get (bannanas, cocoanut oil, left over chicken etc.) I would say you could easily put 2 cups of dry dog food in it. My dog loves it and it does slow him down to a reasonable pace.

The small should be fine for your pug. I have a lg. Jack Russell (19)lbs. and two cats. They seem to drink more water.

I would get the large, which is the size I ordered. It would be less likely that your pup could get her mouth around it--Mine was able to chomp down and break it--I wish it came even bigger--LOL

I have the medium size bowl and I use it to feed a 65 pound lab and one for my 40 pound Schnauzer mix. They each get 1 cup of dry food and 1/2 of homemade ground chicken - I'm sure it's plenty big for your cocker spaniel. I'm very happy with the bowls.

Hi there! We've had pugs previously and they are amazing! I wouldn't recommend this for pugs. I would probably try a slow feeder that is a little more open. Maybe the Eat Slow Bowl by Greedy Pup, which is also sold on Amazon. Hope this helps.

I think the bowl will work for any size pup unless it's teeny tiny like a chihuahua... I do have to say that the more complex bowls work better than the simple ones to slow them down... you could also get the ball that you put in the dish to try, but for my dog, these "maze-type" dishes have made a big difference in her eating... she has basset/am bulldog... and she's all about her food!

I don't only own a dog, only cats. One of them is a very large Maine Coon and he does fine but since dogs tend to lap water from bowls, I would think your pug would do alright.

I have the flower shaped bowl and measured the channels. They range from about a half an inch to 1 inch in places and 2 inches at the wide ends of the petals. The center of the flower is about an inch and a half deep. If the only reason you are feeding large kibble is for her to chew it, you could switch to smaller in this bowl. She has no choice but to slow down.

We would recommend the Regular size. And if you find these are too big for your dog to chew properly, you can feed the Petite since your dog sits right on the feeding guideline for both.

our mini poodles have two meals a day > dry kibble and "The honest kitchen" which is Delv. dehydrated and must be mixed with warm water. On each dish I place two tbl. spoons of mixed Honest Kitchen with dbl the amount of PlaqueOff thats recomended, add dry kibble on top.

I chose mine based on color, lol. My dog is orange and white so I picked the orange bowl. :-) I would say realistically, though, the more squiggles and valleys the bowl has, the slower your dog is going to eat. So if he or she eats REALLY fast, I would pick one that's very "busy". Just my humble opinion. :-) Good luck! ~ Theresa ~
