I just groaned after purchasing my dog food for the month.

I have 6 dogs and my bill was $373.00 and I have other animals I feed too.

I thought it would be an interesting topic to see what others are having to spend a month on our beloved GSDs.

I buy 50 pounds every ten days or so for three dogs.
I dont keep track of the extras.

A lot more than yours......too much.....That is why I am gearing down and giving it up...I cannot afford food or supplies as the cost has risen so high...I won't short my dogs...I can take care of me but not dogs at the cost of living today...

Yes there are bargains every week or so...but it costs as much to hunt the bargains and not know if you can have enough when the bargains hit,,,not good to gamble..

Its bad all over Rose,
Nothings getting any cheaper.
And I avoid Walmart as much as possible. Cheaper is not always the bargain we think.
I hope the country figures out quality is worth the price and American made should be just that, the finest quality on the planet.
Its a fools game competing for low price.
And the profiteers need to sell their goods where they are made.
Walmart and companies like them should move to China.

Grumpy old Moons.

We spend about $200 for 4 dogs. I intend to count out cups the next time I open a new sack to have a better idea.

We through about 13.5 to 14 cups of TOWT a day and are getting large bags for $38 each tax included.

When Hero stops growing in a few months we'll decrease his portion significantly. Right now he's eating twice as much as the mature dogs. As Sita matures, she requires less also.

Hero (72lbs and gaining) is eating 5 to 6 cups a day
Vanna (80 lbs) and Sita (60 lbs) get 3 cups each
Mattie (50 lbs) gets 2 cups

Probably about $90. $100 if you count the occasional food roll cut into treats for training and tracking.

I have three dogs, 58lb (2 cups/day), 62lb (2 cups/day), 67lbs (4-5 cups/day). They eat California Natural kibble. No toppers or supplements. I give some table scraps and they lick dishes, that's their supplements/variety. They are healthy, fit and lean, and have amazing coats. A 30# bag is $45 and I probably buy two a month, maybe a little less. Every 13th bag is free. I can't wait for Nikon to stop growing! He eats more than the adults combined.

About $100 every 3 weeks. Feeding 2 dogs a combination of Orijen and raw.

Feeding the little Border mix (1 to 1.5 cups a day) and little Oakley, (currently eating 1.5 cups 3Xday) we're going through about twenty pounds of Kirkland puppy food per two weeks...Monthly cost will be going up, as Oakley's appetite grows..Likely will top out at about $40-$50 per month, just food...No supplements or other goodies...except raw knuckle bones from the butcher..
