How long does your bag last?
So folks, I'm just wondering how fast does your dog(s) finish their bag of kibbles.
 Specifically I want to know how long does it take to finish a bag of 30lb orijen lbp with approx. weight at 80lbs. Pet store guys estimated my pup to finish 30 lbs in a month and half |

My dog, 75lb, goes through a 40lb bag of 450-kcal per cup food in about 6 weeks.

We don't feed Orijen. Used to, but Zira's tummy couldn't handle it.
Though, It seems to be the same. Zira goes through 35lbs in a month. She has a hard time keeping weight since she has some digestive issues and she is VERY active, so she goes through the bag a bit faster then a normal, healthy dog of her age. (She eats almost double the recommended feeding each night) 4 cups once a day with some wet food mixed in and supplements. Duke is on Taste of the Wild- Salmon... so far he's going a lot slower since he eats less of that. So he'll probably end up going through 30lbs in a month and 1-2 weeks. He eats 1.5 cups 2x a day. Zira is 1 year and Duke is 2 years. As a puppy, Zira went through her food a little faster.

Well there's a lot more that goes into this question....age and activity of dog, size considerations, how many calories per cup of the food (I see emoore listed that)...etc.
But to play along in a simple manner, we have 3 adult GSD's (4, 6, and 8 yrs old) and 1 malinois (19 mo). We feed two different kibbles, and go through approx 115 lbs of kibble a month. It might actually be a little more than that. I think we've been buying two 40 lb bags and one 35 lb bag... Last edited by Rerun; 02-03-2012 at 06:57 PM. |

My dogs go through a 35 pound bag of 4Health Chicken and Rice Adult, in 3-4 days.

When I first read your post, I thought you wrote that you fed "earthworms" to your GSD...  It's been a long week...
