--If your dog has not eaten for any reason beyond 3 days, you should speak with your Vet ASAP.

--A dog can survive without eating for 14 days, provided they were in good shape and health.

It really depends on your dogs health, if they are healthy, they can last up to 3-4 weeks. If they are weak, they can last 2-3 days or possibly less than a day. So keep your dog healthy, feed it a lot!

Answer 4

At most, your dog may live for about three days. However, after one to two days without water, your dog will need medical attention to replenish the water and minerals lost from his water deprivation.

Answer 5

It depends on your dog's breed, some can live for 3 days, while some can live for less than 24 hours for the need of water and food. Please don't "slap it in a cage and find out" that's Animal Cruelty! Or you can ask your vet.
