How long does it take for a little dog to digest food?

The digestion time for a small dog can vary depending on the breed, size, age, and diet of the dog, as well as the type and amount of food consumed. In general, small dogs have a faster metabolism and shorter digestive tract compared to larger dogs, so they tend to digest food more quickly. On average, it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours for a small dog to fully digest a meal.
