Input: Dog Digestion Time The standard for dog digestion time varies between different breeds and even between individual animals. Similarly, the time that it will take for your dog to digest his food also depends upon what type of food he eats. Generally speaking, raw food and canned food will move through his system faster than dry food; it typically takes between 4 and 6 hours for a dog to process a meal's worth of canned food. On the other hand, it may take as many as 8 to 10 hours for the same dog to process dry food completely. Still, by monitoring your own pet's tendencies in terms of digestion based on the food that he eats, you can develop a sense for how long it takes him to do so. Additional Differences There are a number of important other differences between human and canine digestion that pet owners should keep in mind. Easy to Swallow. 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 as many as 10,000 taste buds. Whatever remains after the dog's small intestine has done its job, is then processed in a few hours by the large intestine, and moved through the colon. In all, the entire process, from the time a dog bites into his food to the time waste is produced, can take about 10 hours to a couple of days. There are a number of other factors that may contribute to a difference in the average time that it takes your dog to digest his meal. 1 These include the following, among many others: 2 Exercise level. 3 Overall health level. 4 Weight. 5 Amount of water consumed. 6 Preexisting diseases and conditions. It is for this reason primarily that pet owners must vigilantly brush their dog's teeth. Do this about once per week in order to maintain your pet's oral health. Ask a vet for additional information about how to best deal with the digestion differences between you and your dog. A dog's mouth works differently from a human's.

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, meat, kibble or 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. End of the Line The broken-down food will remain in the small intestine for up to about two days, depending on the meal. End of the Line. The broken-down food will remain in the small intestine for up to about two days, depending on the meal. 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. Query: how long once a dog eats that it is digested and removed
Output:
It typically takes between 4 and 6 hours for a dog to process a meal and 8 to 10 hours for dry food.
