Just Saying....
I hope no one takes offense but, is everyone elses dog eating like a bag a day or something because everyone seems really put off by the expense of brands like Evo, Arcanna, Orejin, ext. I mean my husband is put off that I can understand he dies every time a dollar flies out of his wallet. Even he won't permit me to buy bargain foods, he's been a pet store manager for seven years. But really if we break it down my dog eats 2 cups a day of Evo. A thirty pound bag should last for fifty six days if he eats two cups a day. That is close to two months. My bag is priced at fifty nine dollars a bag. So you are roughly paying a little over a dollar a day, 1.05 to be exact. I mean I am not rich by any means so that isn't a factor but I figure a dollar a day isn't too bad if I could eat for a dollar a day that would be pretty good. Maybe its sticker shock, it's hard to swallow that I spend sixty dollars a bag on dog food but it lasts forever and he loves it. He looks great. Since we have been switching form Arcana to Evo he runs to his crate at dinner time.
 So anyway I hope I don't step on any toes but if we do the math it sounds like a good deal to me!

I think you are right and it is "sticker shock". Addie eats Solid Gold Wolf Cub and it is $60/bag. But well worth it to me. She loves it, and eats less of it than she would be eating with a cheap brand. My husband has no idea how much her food costs though. I don't think he'd mind, but there's no reason to find out..

Well, we are feeding 11 dogs at our house, so we buy 3 bags of food every 8-9 days. So when the price goes up, or the amount in the bag goes down, it makes a difference around here.
We feed Natures' Variety, Instinct.

Despite years of it flowing around the web, most people have begun to realize that how many "stars" a food gets on a particular website isn't everything. Sometimes, many of those 5 and 6 "star" foods, are far too rich for sensitive GSD tummies. Just something to keep in mind.

i switch my dogs kibble often. i keep
a variety of can food (different brands) on hand. i use the can food as an additive. iuse the preminum brands of commercial foods. i also feed my dog fresh fish, canned fish (in water no salt added), chicken, beef and much more. i figure my dog has to eat well so i try to ignore the price of his food.
