Monthly cost for feeding your dog?

[Lizmo]

With 5 dogs -one being a growing puppy- right now, we've been using about 2, 40lb bags a month. That would be about $60.

13 dollars for a small bag of orijen.. That willl last over 2 months sooo...

well i switched over to kirkland and its now costing me about $5 a week to feed 2 cresties (1 at aprox 10lbs, the other at aprox 6 lbs)
both like the food, there doing very well on it in terms of skin/coat condition and weight...
but jasper poops a little more than id like...then again, hes also not quite 8 months yet so may still be in the puppy bowle movement stage of life because ruby poops 1-2 a day.

My three are on Canidae right now... One 40 lbs bag last them almost two months.. and it costs $45+tax. So it'd be ~$25/month.

Mine are on Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. Averages to about $40 per month. When I was feeding raw, the cost was closer to $50-$60 per month.

I've been using those free small bags of Instinct, so last month I didn't spend a dime on food.

If I keep using Instinct, then I think one 30lb bag is going to last me about a month and a half, so less than $50.

Haha, that's exactly what we've been doing as well. We have 3 bags left

I'm spending about $30 a month on feeding Finnegan, and about $50 total for all of my pets (not counting the cat, Matt pays for her food). That's a dog, two ferrets, a chinchilla and two geckos.

I spend about $60/month feeding mostly Primal, with Acana kibble meals on occasion. I don't think it's too bad... I mean, I would MUCH rather be feeding prey model but Primal has impressed me.

 

[TheWonderPuppies]

$40 with treats and bones for two 50ish pound dogs I feed Diamond naturals lamb and rice.

 

[colliewog]

I pay $20 for a 17# of food. This last 3 dogs about a month and a half. I spend about $20+ a month in various treats.

 

[MisssAshby]

Yep, we've got to make some changes.

Right now all four dogs (39lbs total) are on raw and spending somewhere around $125-130 a month.

 

[Doberdogs]

I do a mixture of homemade and high quality kibble.
To feed a household of reptiles, dogs, and one cat high quality species appropriate foods, you probably really don't want to know, and I don't either, lol!

 

[MisssAshby]

Hmmm... now that we have Rory, I'm really not sure.

We've been going back and forth between raw and kibble. We have 3 free 5lb bags of Nature's Variety grain free at the moment which the chis are eating... it probably takes about 3 weeks to go through one of those bags, which are usually $16 for us.

Rory is on Natural Balance, and I'd like to keep him on it for a little bit while he's still adjusting. Then we're going to go back to raw with all 4 dogs... so maybe about $50-80 a month total?

When you feed raw are you using the pre-made? How much was it costing to feed raw (if you don't mind me asking)?

 

[J's crew]

I spend about $120-$240 per month. I have 5 now that cost about $120 and the max I have with 5 more rescues is $240. I feed them allll Diamond Naturals Lamb & Rice.

Maybe about $30 on soft food, I mix up the type, just all premium. Anddd, about another $40 on treats and bones.

:yikes:

Hope hubby doensn't see...ha ha. $5 a MONTH? I wish!

 

[Hillside]

A 15 pound bag of TOTW will last Saga a month (to the day) and runs me 22 bucks.

 

[Blue_Dog]

$30 a bag that last about a week and a bit soooo about $100 a month.

 

[Willow0709]

We have five dogs . We're currently feeding Acana Grasslands , grainfree all life stages diet . It costs us $59 a bag and we go through a 29.7lb bag every 8-10 days . We also give raw meaty bones regularly . We usually spend around $250 a month in food and supplements .

 

[Bailey08]

Too much. B's homeopathic vet wanted him on lean meats, so that's $80/mo. alone, and I add in lots of goodies.
