  A dog's mouth works differently from a human's. For starters, he has 42 teeth and nearly 2,000 taste buds, while a person typically has 32 teeth and 9,000 taste buds. The reason for this reflects a basic difference between species: While we can take our time and enjoy the taste of a meal, getting as much enjoyment from the flavor as from filling our stomachs, a dog generally cannot. In the wild, survival means finding and eating as quickly as possible. Taste is secondary. So a dog has more teeth with which to quickly rip apart meat and chew bone into small pieces. In fact, his teeth are not capable of grinding like ours are. The sole focus of the dog's mouth is to get the food down, through the esophagus and into the stomach as quickly and efficiently as it can. Another big difference between a human's digestive system and a dog's is in the stomach. When we chew our food, we also produce saliva, which contains an enzyme that helps break down the food before it gets to our stomach. For a dog, which will swallow whole large pieces of raw meat and crushed bone, all of the work has to be done in the stomach. The dog's pancreas will begin producing enzymes that will help in breaking down the food; the stomach wall also has glands that produce necessary acids. Since what goes into a dog's stomach can be anything from grass to bone, the acids must be particularly powerful (in comparison, the acid in a dog's digestion is about three times stronger than in a human's). A dog's stomach will work on breaking down food for roughly eight hours before passing it into the small intestine.The broken-down food will remain in the small intestine for up to about two days, depending on how difficult it is to break down further. Simple food, such as corn, will pass in a matter of a few hours, but bone or more complex material takes quite a bit longer. We may think of dogs as carnivores, but because of their powerful digestive acids, they can eat almost anything. A human who picks something off the floor might be in danger of bacterial infection because our digestive system is not as powerful and food tends to take longer to digest. For a dog, the danger is minimal because of the speed and power of his insides. Whatever remains after the dog's small intestine if finished with it (and there is rarely much besides waste) is then processed in a few hours by the large intestine, moved through the color and out. In all, the entire process, from the time a dog bites into his food to the time waste is produced, can take anywhere from around 10 hours to a couple of days.

A few chunks of luncheon meat each throughout the day works well.

do what you want you advocate that a minimum of two hours is safe, i wouldnt want to feed mine on carcasses and run it two hours later

[BULLDOUG 199]

Probably best eh?

[bunnys 1,228]

cockers rate enouhg here all goes by whats going in ,the old saying flesh and bone holds the weight on a dog his for thew very reason how long its on board.atb bunnys.

[killa-combo 142]

Give mine half of a full feed at around 1pm if im out same night. Seen better results doing this rather than no feed at all on day im planning to lamp it, also full feed when i get home

[BULLDOUG 199]

A dogs stomache is like a piano accordian (pair of open curtains) so in the wild they can go very long periods without eating, and being able to eat massive ammounts in one sitting, with there stomache opening like curtains, that doesnt mean feed the dog a cow and run it for the next two weeks on empty is gonna be of benefit. So like as been said a dog man will know how to get the best out of hgis dogs and have the abbility to tweak to suit.

Gastric dilation and torsion (more commonly referred to as bloat) is a serious medical emergency that can end in death. In this condition, the dog's stomach becomes dilated with gas and twists on itself, blocking off blood flow to the stomach and preventing the stomach from emptying. This results in further buildup of gas and initiates a vicious cycle.

The actual cause of the condition is not known, but large dogs with deep, narrow chests like lurchers /running dogs have a higher incidence of gastric torsion than smaller dogs with barrel-shaped chests (such as Beagles and collies). Another factor that contributes to bloat is eating rapidly. Dogs who are picky, slow eaters seem to have a lower incidence of bloat than dogs who scoff down their food like there's no tomorrow.

i feed mine on meat and carcasses mainly,(along with other stuff, as a meat only diet is not good for a dog) and my dogs do eat grass themselves and then vomit bile pretty regularly,,, its a fact The dog actually has one of the shortest digestive system of mammals but it still takes roughly 8-9 hours for the whole digestive process, (discounting bone and other stuff that is hard to digest)
