How much is it for Nutro bag of dog food for my Doberman?

Question

He eats quite alot, about 31/2-4 cups a day. and i was just wondering bc i heard lots of good things about it, and i want to switch my Dobie. I looked at the site and i liked what they said, and i looked at the ingrediants, and liked them. So how much is it for about 10-15 pound bag of dog food?

Or if you recomend something else, tell me what and how much i can get it for?

Thanks!

Answer 1

From this site you can compare dog food prices

Take a look at Nutro Natural Choice Large breed the first 10 ingredients

Chicken Meal, Ground Rice, Rice Flour, Corn Gluten Meal, Rice Bran, Dried Beet Pulp, Wheat Flour, Poultry Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of natural Vitamin E), Natural Flavors, Soybean Oil,

They are split up the rice( Ground Rice, rice flour, Rice Bran) when you add those together, Rice becomes the first ingredient followed by the Chicken meal then corn gluten( a lot of dogs allergic to corn
if your dog is between 50 to 65 lbs you need to feed approx 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 cups a day it is 335kcals/per cup. price 40 lb regular bag is $34

CANIDAE® All Life Stage formula
to start with all the meats are human grade unlike Nutro, the meat is also hormone free better than what we buy in most grocery stores for ourselves the rice is grown without pesticides which is unique for most pet foods on the market

first 10 ingredients
Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Brown Rice, White Rice, Lamb Meal, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Herring Meal, Flax Seed, Sun Cured Alfalfa Meal, Sunflower Oil,

You have 2 meats listed before 2 rices, plus have lamb and herring
that makes meat most definitely the main ingredient, and there is no corn
feeding amount for a 50 to 75 lb dog is 2 to 3 cups(much less than nutro) (kcal/cup) 468 has a significantly higher calorie content because it is more digestible
price for 40 lb bag is $33

So pretty close to the same in price but you feed a cup less per day for a food that has a lot more meat. It is not hard to tell which is the better deal and better for the dog

Answer 2

I buy Nutro for my dog. She is just a puppy, and we feed her treats and stuff frequently. I buy an 5lb bag @ every month, and it is $9 a bag.
I would say on an average day, she eats a half cup to 3/4 cup. You do the math.
