Exactly the same as you here! Cassie will eat slowly and carefully and taste every morsel, whereas Georgie will scoff it down - gone in 60 seconds! then he sits there waiting for his raw carrot, but he has to wait until Cassie has finished hers I put it down to him being a male!

Well...
Ralph tends to mug food as you are putting it down...head in bowl and snorting like a pig-he lasts about 3 minutes of dinner time and then its gone, he aso shoves his head and paws into his water bowl and only ever drinks whilst lying down!

Florrie eats a bit of hers...then goes mooching around to everyone else to see what they have, so she takes about ten minutes including mooching time.

Polly is a truly dignified old lady-she takes a long time to eat..and takes every little bit with relish.

The cats tend to eat whatever it is WHILST its coming from the pouch

Hector takes about 5 mins to get to his bowl, 10 mins to eat then he might not eat it all.

i think he's the worst eater i have ever known!!!!

Vegas takes ages to eat and often leaves half-then eats some more later on!

Abe was the funniest though-he used to almost 'hoover' the food into his mouth and was gone very in seconds!

My belgie Abby, being my fifth dog, takes far longer than any of the others did, maybe 8 or 9 minutes, but always finishes and seems to enjoy it
She also polishes off my cup of tea if i put it down

I have four dogs and by the time I have put the last dish down- and it doesn't take a minute - Ben, the first to get fed, will have finished his. Within a couple of minutes of putting their dishes in their feed stands I am picking them back up to wash them.

On a good note - if there is any food left in any of the dishes I know that that dog is not well. They always clear their dishes!!!
