i always find it interesting what everyone feeds and how long a bag lasts, and any other info.
So I'll start, right now Kati is eating EVO redmeat the biggest bag 28lbs i believe lasts her 4-5weeks.
zeek is eating holistic select large breed puppy and the 16lb bag lasts him about 2 weeks.
when his bag is used up i'm thinking about switching him to canidae all life stages, havent decided yet.

You know I have thought the same thing myself. It never seems to be an even amount of time for me. Some bags seem to last forever and other, we seem to burn thru em!

Scout's on Wellness Core at the moment with home cooked food mixed in which is currently ground turkey and chicken thighs with some cooked sweet potato (I'd love to do raw but we still have digestive issues). The 28lb bag of Wellness lasts around 5-6 weeks since he only eats about 1.5 cups a day of it with the other stuff mixed in.

I want to switch because I think the Wellness is to rich (soft poop) but my head is spinning with all the research I've done and I can't decide what is best. Its hard finding something that isn't' quite as rich but still good quality!

Good thread btw, I'm really interested to hear what everyone else does too!

Deja gets 2-3lbs of raw a day. For convenience right now, I'm feeding Bravo and Primal 'grinds,' in either a 5 or 10lb tube(thank GOD for wholesale pricing!!), so I go through between 8 and 16 of those a month for her. When the puppies start eating solid foods, that will likely double or triple.

Larocque gets 3-5 cups of Before Grain each day. A 28lb bag lasts about 3 weeks I think. I don't really keep track. I am going to try him on Horizon Legacy when I'm through with the BG, though, because it comes in a bigger bag and is a little cheaper.

Gypsy is on Canidae Original ALS at the moment. She gets just under 2 cups a day, so a 44lb bag lasts her almost 2 months.

The rescue dogs and boarders (if/when I have them) eat Diamond Naturals. Right now I'm feeding 2, and they both get 2 cups per day. I'd say 1, 40lb bag probably lasts about 3 weeks.

Gnash is eating Instinct, he gets ~2 cups a day and it lasts well over a month. His other meal is raw chicken or ground beef that he gets after tracking.
