You will lose a pound if you burn 3500 more calories than you take in. This is one of the bottom lines in weight loss but whether or not you are actually burning 3500 calories varies from person to person with the same activity.
A dog can survive without eating for 14 days, procided day wouldn't be in good shape and health.
Ive let my dogs go up to 6 days without eating...at that point he decided to eat! But Im not a give in kind of mom!LOL Are you trying to feed it with the fur as well? That can be a HUGE step for some/most dogs, and if so then I probably would be skinning it if he decided to take longer then 6 days to eat.he longest I've seen a dog go is 10 days without food.
