How much food does the bowl hold? We usually put a cup of dry dog food in our dog's bowl right now and would like to know if it will hold that amount.

I have not measured it precisely, but it appears to hold several cups - much more than our last dog bowl.

I use it for my 17 pound dog and she eats 3/4 of a cup twice a day. Her food is swimming in it! This dish would hold 4 cups of food. It's large dog sized.

Yes it would hold a cup we give our dog 3/4of a cup and there is room for more.

It will hold about 15 oz cat food (3 cans 5.5 oz) wet food. Do not know exactly dry food. It should be about 2 cups.

I use it to grind medication for my dog. The bowl will hold 4 oz. but you couldn't really mix much in it. I have another one just like it I use for herbs. Very sturdy

we got this bowl for our dog. our cat has cystitis and dry food makes her flare up worst. she kept eating our dogs food so we got the bowl. she hasn't figured out how to open the bowl on her own but a couple times she has tricked our dog over to the dish so it would open.

I believe it held approx 4 cups of food, not sure because I had to donate it. Never used it. Seems my English bulldog is allergic to metal.

A generous half a cup is about all I have ever put in -- when you put in the food, shake it down so they have to work to get it out. My beagle is now an expert in getting food out and is so excited when I get it out. (It is part of her dinner.)

Not really, gravity + your pet move the food into the bowl. I would say the bowl is equivalent to about a cup of food which goes quickly around here. If gravity + you pet happen to cause too much food out before your pet can eat then I can see the food getting stale. It's a pretty good system as far as price goes but there's nothing preventing your pet from dispensing food regularly.

I have these bowls and a larger dog. I wish I went with a larger bowl. They are cute but very small if you have a dog that needs 1 cup of food per serving. The food at the bottom tends to get wet and molds.

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 have 2 great danes a german shepard and a pit..All 4 eat out of these bowls...I have two of these sets one for food and the other for water. The bowls are huge! I'd say they hold about a gallon each.

I put in a 20 pound bag of dog food, and have plenty of room left over. We also have cats, so I am familiar with how big a bag of cat food is, and I can't imagine a 15 pound bag of cat food filling up much more than half of the container. Quick note - we use grain free foods, so those may be denser and take up less room than other types of food.

A 10 oz bowl will be OK for a shih tzu. I got one for my 9 lb maltese mixg. He's 12 lbs now. But I never used it because this bowl is made to hang in the cage. His water bowl is outside the cage on the floor next to his food bowl. It is very well made of strong stainless steel. I didn't return it though. I keep it in the car for trips (for water).

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!

the bowl is tilted on an angle, which it doesn't really show in the picture...higher in front to back. I do believe one cup of food would fit inside this bowl, it also has little rubber legs (I have a cat that likes to move/tip over the water bowls...he thinks its funny, I find it less than amusing after the fourth time in one day...this bowl he cannot tip or move) which was why I bought it. Hope that was helpful. I will say that the one cup of food might fill it to the top but I'm sure your pup will fix that once he starts eating :)

I would say about a cup of kibble. More might make it hard for it to come out when your dog rolls it around.

My cat's bowl holds 4 1/2 oz. of water if filled to the brim. I use it for her canned food, and it would hold about a full can, although I only give her 1/4 can at a time as she is a slow eater. The bottom of the dish is marked 07/10, not sure what that means.... I have seen larger ones of the same design in stores that would hold 12 oz.

The bowls will hold about 3 to 4 cups comfortably..and it seems very sturdy...have not had any issues with it at all. I have a older Golden Retriever and he has not once dumped it.
