How long does it take your dog to eat one?

She's not like a "typical" dog that inhales her food. She enjoys each bite. She's 30 lbs. She probably takes 8-10 bites and takes time to chew each one. Dogs seem to like them and I'm almost tempted to taste it.

That's funny because I have 2 Shih Tzus and one gulps it down in a flash while the other one savors it and takes a couple minutes. The first one is a piggy though.

Food is portioned in 1/4 cup increments (about a handful). Each meal can be set to dispense from1 to 8 increments (ie up to 2 cups). Meals themselves can be timed for once, twice or thrice a day. So it is possible to feed your pet 6 cups in a 24 hour period.

About one month. I notice a change in my dog's behavior, and that reminds me to replace it. :)

We have two small dogs as well. They often eat a whole one but you could break them in half.

Personally, I would consult my vet for a recommendation especially if the dogs are overweight . Our 10 lb mini dachshund gets 1/4 cup twice a day. I don ' t think it matters what plate they eat off of, as long as it doesn't have people food on it as we'll.

I would say that the regular size will last about 5 minutes. It is not as hard as many of the chews, because it is meant to be a teeth cleaner that is also easily digestible. Our dogs love the chews and we use them because they will not stay still for teeth brushing. If you want something that will be longer lasting but will not cause other problems like rawhide does, you might want to use a Kong and fill it with peanut butter, or fill with a peanut butter and yogurt mixture that you can freeze for the summertime.

My Cocker spaniel ate the smaller one in one evening. Today I started her on a medium, gave her just half, oand after 2 hours it is almost gone. At seven dollar a pop, very very expensive!

for puppies. Most dog food bags say right on the back. How many cups a day, you should feed your puppy, according to the puppies weight and age in months,,,,,,,, however, with Merrick's the protein is so high and due to the high quality of the food. Most of the nutrients will get absorbed in to the dog, rather than being extracted and still not processed as food though the dogs digestive system, and will just be wasted as stool,,,, so in other words, you can feed the dog a little less then they recommend,,,,, I have an eight-year-old German Shepherd,,, she is not very active, and she eats about 3 to 4 cups a day,,, and a cup is 8 ounces,,,,, I hope this helps.

My dog loves both, she's not been exposed to too many types of food however. Unless your dog has a special need that requires that it be fed on a specific schedule then I would suggest leaving the food down for half an hour and picking it up. Eaten or not. Your dog will get hungry enough to eat. It may seem a bit harsh, but it works (most of the time). If your dog doesn't eat for a few days then feed it, don't want any suffering, but you may need to see a vet at that point to address why your dog will not eat certain foods.

Depending on how much your dog chews it can vary. I have a Collie and an American Pit Bull Terrier. Both are moderate chewers. I get one that they share and it lasts them 2-3 weeks until it's small enough that I don't want them chewing it anymore because they get too small for their mouths.

My Great Pyrennes could eat it in about 2 hours, but I give this as a treat only for about 15 minutes. They are heavy chewers too!

Sometimes my dog eats them 'plain', but sometimes I have to just put a little peanut butter on the edge of one. But that's just my dog. They are flavored and meant to just have the dog eat them out of your hand.

They last about 2 days for our dog. We used to get the small, but they were gone in an hour or so.

The answer depends on how much your feeding your pet. You can set up to three feedings and give 1/2 cup to 2 cups each feeding. I fill the feeder with a 9.3lbs bag of dog food. I set the feeder to give 1/2 cup three times a day. It lasts about 16days.

I would put it in the 1 - 2 week range, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. Why the range you might ask? Well, it depends on how often your dog tests the system.There have been a time or two that it lasted less than a week, but the kids were playing sharks and minnows with the dog, and she was the shark.

That's a great question. I have no idea, but my dogs eat a total of two cups per day and a bag lasts about six weeks. The kibble pieces are pretty small, so you get more into a cup than with a "bigger" brands.Wow, my answer jives with the golden dog answer! :)

If you break them into little pieces, they last a long time - weeks, anyway.My big Labs love them and as soon as they see the bag they instantly sit or 'down ' . My Pekingese cannot chew them so she gets softer things for treats and training.
