I feed a variety of foods, so the bags can range anywhere from 25-30lbs, and it lasts us about 4-6 weeks. I go through 2 1/2 cups of dry food a day.

From the various companies I've looked at that have cups/bag listed on their website/packaging...I would say it averages about 3 cups/pound - some are more, some are less.

A 30 lb bag of Taste of the Wild lasts about a month, give or take.

Emily 2.5 cups per day
Pirate 2.5 cups per day
Bayleigh 3/4 cup per day

28.6lb bag lasts us about 3 weeks.

Gage gets 3.5-4 cups a day.
Bristol gets 3/4 cup a day.
Diesel gets 1 cup a day.

Now in the winter they all eat more and in the summer somedays they don't eat at all.

A 40lb bag lasts me about 1.5 months to 2 months depending on the season.

In the Fall/Winter:

Takoda gets 3.5-4 cups
Beau gets 2-2.5 cups

This is depending on how cold the winter is going to be how fat I need them.


In the Spring/Summer:

Takoda gets 3 cups
Beau gets 1 cup

Takoda looks scrawny with anything lower then 3 cups dumb dog never stops moving and Beau looks like a walking table with anything over 1 cup.

Email the company and ask how many cups are in that sized bag. Natural balance, which is a similar size has about 112 cups in their 28 pound bags, so Nico, at 3 cups a day takes about 37 days to go through a bag.
diamond naturals said there is aprox 165 cups in a 40lb bag so it should last a month and 11days.. it lasts 2 and a half weeks.

30lb bag last Ronon (80lbs) and Casper (115lbs) 1 month
40lb bag last Joey (70lbs) puppy and Jack (20lbs) 6 weeks
1 4lb last Pongo 22lbs 1 month
1 6lb last Rocky 25lbs 1 month
1 15lb last my foster pup 1 month 50lbs

It would be nice if the could all eat the same thing, but never seems to work that way for me.

Oh, yah, and Rosey was about 40lbs, ate around 2 scant cups a day of Fromm grain inclusive, and a 15kg bag lasted probably around 6 weeks
