1. 3 dogs...63lbs, 70lbs, 72lbs.
2. Home prepared RAW. 3. Between 55-65$ per week. So it works out to about 2.61-3.10$ per dog per day.

Two dogs: 55 lbs. and 65lbs. What do you feed your dog/s? Orijen Adult How much does it cost? Approx. $78 How big is the bag? 30 lbs. I think...whatever their largest bag weighs. How long does it take to go through the bag? About a month, depending on the season. They get a bit lazy in the winter so we feed a little less. A bag lasts a little under a month in the summer months.

Combination of homemade raw and pet food bought raw (I'm still new and easing over to 100% homemade raw ) How much does it cost? Still trying to figure it out... but around $100 - $125/month... so around $30/week tops

How many dogs do you have & sizes? 3: 25 lbs, 48 lbs, 55 lbs (and two cats, ~10lbs each)
What do you feed your dog/s? Raw (dogs-all homemade, cats-mostly premixed) How much does it cost? we have a budget of 40$/week ... so about $160/month or an average of $1.15/animal/day. If not for the pre-mixed I would think that we'd be closer to .75/animal/day. Hm. Maybe I should start mixing my own cat food. We never need to spend more than this, and truthfully, the cats are the most expensive because a 6 lb bag of raw costs 20$ whereas I can get 20lbs+ of meat/bone/organ for the same amount of money. I'm very lazy about prepping small cat-sized amounts of food, so this is my one luxury. Our "dog food freezer" is usually full...we have at least 2 week's worth of food on hand at all times.

10, but dh feeds his beagle separately from the other 9, so I'll say 9. Blaze is still growing at 5 months, not sure of his weight Rain 39 pounds Dru 43 pounds Flash about 45 (guesstimate, hasn't been weighed in a while) Storm 52 pounds Thunder about 57-58 pounds Flurry about 58 (hasn't been weighed in a while) Lightning 58-59 pounds Noah about 90 pounds What do you feed your dog/s? Kirkland Signature Chicken, Rice and Vegetable. Puppy formula for Blaze and Adult formula for the rest How much does it cost? About $26/bag before taxes (Puppy is a smaller bag and is around $15) How big is the bag? 18kg How long does it take to go through the bag? About a week for the adult food, but it depends on the time of year and how hard they're working. A bag of puppy food last Blaze about a month. They also get any meat scraps, gravy, leftovers etc. that we may have, plus I cook a lot of chicken in the winter time and make the dogs broth, soup and/or stews to boost their fat and protein when they're working harder, and I add some corn oil too for extra fat/energy for some of the dogs (just not the ones that would tend to gain weight more easily). Oh, and whole raw eggs when I have them. I lost most of my chickens to coons earlier this year and the three old girls I have left have stopped laying for the winter now, but I have some young ones coming on that will begin laying in the early springtime.

brianna, are your dogs too heavy? If they're maintaining a healthy weight, you probably shouldn't change the amount. Some dogs burn calories faster than others and require more food. Our dogs range from .75 cups twice daily to 1.5 cups twice daily, depending on their age and activity level.

Hazels right brianna079. Our older Springer gets less (3/4 cup twice daily) then our puppy (1 full cup and a bit twice daily). Our 33 lb bag last about 6 weeks and while the quantities don't look like much at feeding time, it helps maintain proper weight management.
