  runnin about 12 bags a month right now @ 20.75 a 50# bag of caliber 24/20 of course i have just cut the dogs back and gave several away the last couple months  .

I feed camp bag caliber 24/20 and it has put major weight on my dogs seems like it works wonders over night

$80 a month, 4 dogs, feed em every night. 50 pound bag every 7 days. They eat pretty good in my opinion.

$120 for diamond hi energy to 7 dogs

Im feeding Diamond High Energy and Diamond Performance. I buy 2-3 bags of High Energy a week (depending on winter/summer) and 1 performance every week an a half. Im scared to add it up, its probably close to a truck payment.  ;D

  man ya'll sure feed ya'lls dogs alot of feed , lol   i'm feed one bag every three days to 15 dogs and they stay slick . shiney and healthy looking . and that count's throwing some dog food to the roosters and pigs . and now with summer time coming i need to cut some of them back they are too fat .   and that is on the caliber brand dog food in the camo bag  24/20 for 20.75 a 50# bag  . i'd check your feed dealers and see about haveing them to start carrying it  . i get mine at the farmers co-op in canton texas . the feed comes out of missouri

I did some thinking, and if my math is right, every mouth i feed is 25 cents a day. Thats a good way for me to look at it. If its 4 or 40 dogs in the yard, each one will cost me 25 cents a day. Can any of you smart math folks put a formula up and help us see an accurate way to figure this?

With my food bill at $300 every 4 months on the low end and 7 dogs,  It would be 900/52= $17.30 a wk, 17.30/7= $2.47 a day, 2.47/7= $0.35 per dog, per day.

For monthly bill: 300/4= 75 a mth, 75/30= 2.50, 2.50/7= $0.35

   what i have allways done is to just weigh what you feed and divide that into the cost of the bag and get the cost per day of each dog . in other words .  divide the cost by 50 and get price per pound of feed , weigh the daily ration  yatta yatta yatta .  50# of caliber cost me around 42 cents a pound  and i feed right at a pound a day per dog .  i think your math might be off a little miles  .  i would use this formula when i sold started dogs that i raised to know pretty much exactly what i had in a dog and how much i needed to get just to break even .

Myles, i came up with $0.66 per dog per day on my formula of annual bill. Doing it mr whittens methed, IF a 50# bag is $20, it comes out to $0.40 per lb and IF ur feedin exactly 1lb per day per dog, its costing you .40c a dog a day. With mr whittens method, @ $80 a mth, 80*12=960, $960/50= $19.20 a bag

  yeah miles by your post your feeding each dog a bag a month  just divide say 30 into the cost of a bag of feed and you should get you a rough estimate of your daily cost per dog  . that should round off to around 67 cents a day . and you are feeding each dog approx a little over a pound and a half a day . you could most likely tweek them back a bit and get a better average .

Halfbreed are you getting caliber at cost? It's 24 a bag here. I'm feeding the caliber value pack and it's still over 22 a bag

   i get mine at the farmers co-op in canton and paying retail price for it but the co-op has got the best prices in this area on just about everything you need to buy . the value pack in the white bag is only 19 something here i haven't bought any of it since i wanted to knock some weight off the dogs wich it did  . now the caliber did go up a couple months ago to 23 something but has come back down to . ok i just looked at my reciept it is 21.95 this month  lol  last month i bought it for 20.75  they must have needed to push out the last lot  . so that's 21.95 plus tax for the camo bag 24/20 . either that or that gal is kinda sweet on me  lol .

U nvr know mr whitten, she may think your her honey pot.  ;D

2000-2500 a month. for all the groceries in my house. dog food is included in that. I figure about 100 bucks a month in dog food alone.:-\ food stamps sounds nice but there's 1 problem. I'm not lazy and have a job....

from me.....who else. tapatalk

I think I may be getting the shaft. Thinking about swapping to kennel pro. It's 20 a bag. I havent heard anything bad about it yet

I spend about 250 a month feeding my dogs by the amount that i feed i figure it cost 250-275 to feed a dog for a year

only $60 per month for me black bag sportmix during the winter blue bag retriever during the summer

OK, that clears it up-thanks ya'll.     I figured now its .42 cents a pound/dog....., 4 pounds a day, so it's now 1.68  per day to feed all four.....I think thats good to know. $600 plus a year,

I buy the Tractor Supply Retriever green/yella bags, they do fine for my dogs and go from 19 to 21 a 50# sack.

  it is good to  know and it may even help us with the new dog law they are trying to push wich will include sporting and working dogs . may be some info that our represintives could use to help  us  out .

btt

Just started a part time job at tractor supply and there was an older cowboy came in and bought 30 fifty pound bags of retriever and 10 bags of sweet feed :o :o :o. I asked the kid that was help me load it and he said he comes through every other Tuesday and gets the same thing. I'd hate to see his feed Bill for every month

Between 200-250 a month depending on how much we hunt , there fed extra after they hunt .

Holy chit that can't all be for his dogs? I think dog food is cheaper than fish food?

I spend around 300 a month on 11 dogs. I want to try caliber but I can't find it any closer than 200 miles from llano tx. I called the manufacturer and tried to be a dealer and they wouldn't return any of my calls

nah the fish foods cheaper ha

I started killing the hogs I catch instead of selling them and feeding my dogs with the hogs. And just feeding dog food when we hit a dry spell  saves me a ton   plus the hogs arent selling for much so it saves me time too. But if indo feed its about .50 .60 cents per dog a day

$400 give or take a $30 bag.

6 bags a month diamond hi energy. $180. 13 dogs

312.00 a month. That's feeding 16 dogs.

The dog food isn't costing that much for me, bout 200$ a month. It gets expensive keeping them worm and parasite free. Along with living maintanance (bucket,pan, barrels, houses, ect) good wormer from the very is high dollar. I'm using panicure and keeps all ages of my dogs healthy. Even gyps that are bred or nursing.

90 dollar for 3 bags a month an 24 dollars for 16to18  chicken breast so it at $115 month .                                     

225-300 a month. Seven hog dogs bird dog and two little house dogs. All raw chicken and organ meat.

$198 a month. That's feeding 8 puppies 5 dogs and 5 between 8 months to 11 months old.

between 220-250 6 dogs

325-350$ a month but I just slimmed down to 6 dogs was feeding 15. So hoping it cut to half.
