I have been feeding Kirkland chicken and rice because the ingredients are great for the price.
Costco recently got a new dog food made especially for them called Nature's domain, its a salmon and sweet potatoe. The dogs are doing well on this and they love it since it is stinky
don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....
I have been frosted!
Thanks Kfamr for the signature!
We JUST Switched to Premium Edge.. Salmon, Potato and Vegetable formula.
35lb bag
35$
And I feed 3 dogs. This is my first bag..So I am not sure how long it will last..as it is higher quality as what I was feeding before. And so I feed less.
I just realized I didn't really answer the question
The kirkland chicken and rice is 21.99 for 40 lbs
The Nature's domain is 27.99 for 35 lbs.

You need to keep in mind that a high quality food is going to cost more; AND keep your pet healthier which will save you in vet expenses down the road. It will also save you in those travel costs to and from the vet and save you the worry when something goes wrong.
A good food is not going to prevent anything every happening to your pet, though.
The foods I use ARE expensive. I see improvement in my dogs' coats, eyes, and activity level.
Dr Harvey's Veg to Bowl, a 5 pound bag feeds my 4 for a month and costs close to $50. (It is dehydrated, you add water, so they eat much more than the 5 pounds).
To that I must add the protein and the oil.
Marlin's eyes cleared up in 3 weeks once I made the switch.

how many dogs do you have? 2
what do you feed? Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice
cost? $40 but I try to get it on sale
how many pounds? 35
how long does it last? about 6 weeks
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

I feed 2 and the same brand as Freedom. I just started it fairly recently, and my first 2lb bag lasted almost a month. Since then I have bought the 5lb bag and they are still on that one.
In addition to that, you have to figure in the cost of your protein such as chicken or hamburg or eggs. I buy the meats at Sam's and try to get them when they are reduced for quick sale and have to be sold by a certain date. I get real bargains that way.
The pups have also shown improvement in their coats and general overall activity. No more itchies either.

I have 2 dogs.
I feed them both Nutro Natural Choice, Sadie senior formula, Rita Lamb 7 Rice
A 35lb bag costs about $40
It lasts for about 6 weeks for the both of them (2 seperate bags)
ETA: I also add 1 pump of salmon oil to their dry kibble. Makes their coat really soft and shiny!

Atta boy 14.99 for a 50 pound bag with four dogs it last bout 2-3 wks
Before raw,
Chicken Soup for the Puppy Soul
I bought the 18lbs bag but don't know the price. The 35 lbs costs about 32 dollars (39 at Pet Supplies Plus). I honestly don't know how long it lasted. Hahaha...
As for raw, for a month, it should cost us about 32-40 dollars depending on how expensive I go with meat...

AMEN!!!
I used to work at a grocery store as a bagger when I was in high school (all of two years ago) and it really saddened me to see customers buying foods like 'Kibbles N Bits', 'Iams' (although I'm not sure if that's a bad one??), 'Ole Roy' etc etc. I've actually looked at the ingredients on the bags of each different brands, and it doesn't look good.
So moral of the story is grocery store brands although are dirt cheap, have dirt for ingredients.

Yes, Iams is icky. They used to do creepy tests on animals... these animals could have lived after these horrible tests, but they killed them anyways. Plus the ingredients aren't anything to be happy with.
If you want a good book to read, "Food Pets Die For". I got it for Christmas. It'll really open your eyes...
