How much to you pay in dog food each month?

We typically have to purchase dog food 1-2 times a month. Was wondering how much people spend on dog food, how many dogs and what food is it?

I am considering switching ALL of my dogs onto TOTW but wow...thats a nice big chunk of chain.

Yes it is! I have a great dane and a corgi, and I spend about $90 on TOTW a month. The corgi eats a cup a day, the dane eats 4 cups a day.... it's a lot of food. I am going to be looking for bigger bags online, I am not sure they make bigger than 35lbs, but I would be very happy if they do... I need to spend less... I'm in college!! lol

Same here. The bf does NOT want to switch everyone to TOTW because it would be super expensive. We feed a total of ~10 cups a day to our dogs combined. Harvick has to be on the high quality stuff for allergies, the rest are on Kirklands and do not have any issues thus far. So switching from Kirklands to TOTW would be a lot of money

What's TOTW ?

TOTW is a dog food called 'taste of the wild"

I'd say I go through a bag and a half a month, som'times less if I use wet food. So I'd say $55-$80ish a month for five dogs.

TOTW is cheaper than the wellness I have been using...TOTW is $47 for 30lbs and wellness was $10 more for the same size bag

Wow that is not bad! And one bad lasts you a month with wet food mixed in? hmmmm....

I use a little over a bag...like a bag and a half, maybe a bag if I use lots of wet food....big lots keeps getting premium brands...so I buy it ALL. LOL...they had som'thing called "pet promise" yesterday, so now my cats will be set for a while.

I still have like 70 cans of "dogswell" that retails for almost $2 a can that I paid 50cents a pop for.

nice! Did the dogs get diarrhea when you first started mixing in the wet?

No problems, I even mix and match brands... but Kiwi I think is allergic to the kirklands canned. Iam not sure yet...her skin is very finicky.

oddly enough no one reacted badly to the wellness/totw switch...its was an almost overnight switch.

Harvick developed an allergy to kirklands. I think we are going to keep the other dogs on it unless something comes up. Good idea with the cans tho. I will see if I can find something good and cheap sometime.
