Food & NutritionHow long does homemade dog food digest? Will it upset his stomach?
Digestion times will depend on size and breed. Typically, the stomach will empty 2-4 hours after eating and the processing of a meal takes place over the next 4-10 hours. This, too, depends on the type of food eaten.
If your dog is not sensitive to any of the ingredients and it is properly prepared, he/she should not experience any GI upset. The minimal amount of chondroitin in chicken feet is likely to produce negligible effects. Consider a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement such as Dasuquin or Cosequin.
