don't calculate your costs by the price per bag- you need to calculate by the price per kcal. Go Natural, for example, is VERY expensive per kcal. So is Wellness Core. Nature's variety prairie beef is much more economical than TOTW; TOTW fish formula, Nature's variety prairie salmon, and solid gold barking at the moon are all about on par. Nature's variety instinct rabbit is only slightly less economical than TOTW. This assumes prices in my area, yours may differ
Yes this is WAaaay more math than many of us want to do But I have to agree with MudPuppy ! I so the Barking at the Moon and my boys have never looked better, I can not get TOTW in my area but believe me I would if I could. It is a solid (imho) kibble, no grains , no crud simple nutrition... I supplement with Bwana Treats , homemade and all grain free... forget about the wolve thingy..I have yet to see a regular old dog seek out a field of corn to munch over a protien source. Meat Dairy Eggs , the unholy trinity to a VEGAN but what a canrinvoire adores... when they add veggies and fruit it truly is the stuff I have watched my Ridgebacks mooch and steal.. blueberries , my entire crop of tomatoes, sweet potatoes and even regular potatoes. I have never seen a dog line up to chew wheat, rice or soy.... oatmeal ? well dump the sweet taters on it and we can talk.. barley ? a bit better ... Dogs , I think , know what they want... and they are not ashamed about it. When my pups, unruly and radical charge the stove they do NOT go for the rice, ( unless it is covered in cheese) , they do not charge the bread... but if there is meat, fish , chicken, scrambled eggs, dairy or potatoe salad well we are sharing dinner with the Beasties tonight !! Dogs love only a few fruits in my pack, my blueberries and blackberries ...gone the moment they are ripe! My tomato plants ? sheesh , grown just for the dogs I think, I speant about 57.00 for 2 tomatoes. Leave a pot of oatmeal they are on it... leave a loaf of bread rising and you have a very , very sick dog!! Hmmm tell me something.... what about you??? Of course my dogs can eat road kill without issue but soy the Vegan's delight? Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas city ! Peeeeeuuuuhhhhhh!!! I expect the EPA to storm the dog house and bust all of us for global warming !!
