Feed a higher quality dog food.....it cost about twice as much per pound, but you feed less than half as much,....therefore saving money.....simple seems to me. Plus, your dogs are healthier, there's about half as much crap to clean up....works for me. Grin

The problem with this is I have had the same mind set in the past. But when you start doing side by side comparison on the mid to high grade feed. It seems to prove there is not enough bang for he buck as some might believe after the math is done.  I had another post asking for more feedback specifically on this topic awhile back. Would love to find this theory proven with the actual trials and math to back it up. I have done several side by side trials including waste reduction, cost per serving, and dog health with body weight maintainability. So far I have not found any high end feed ( Eukanuba, Purina Benafuls, Diamond Naturals, ect) that can be reduced by half the serving size to a mid grade (Diamond high energy, Sportmix ect) that will maintain and support a working dog the same. Not arguing with anyone but would truly like to see any successful brands that someone can throw up the numbers and actual trial data that proves this to be realistically cheaper.
