First, lets compare..
Say your feeding Pedigree brand dog food.
FIrst thing you should know is that this diet is corn based. Second it is preserved with BHA. The US National Institutes of Health report that BHA is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
This product costs $12.32 for a 20# bag.
Meaning you spend approx .61 per pound.
It is recommended to feed a 75-100# dog anywhere from 4 1/2 cups to 8 cups per day.
1 cup= 8oz.
Your total feeding cost per day would be approx $1.24 - $2.44.
Your per month expense would be $37.20-$73.20. All this for a CORN BASED product.
Now if you will look at PRIDE brand dog foods.
FIRST...they are MEAT BASED...Pork is the FIRST INGREDIENT.
Second it is NATURALLY PRESERVED.
This product costs $26.99 for a 50# bag.
Meaning you will spend approx. .54 per pound.
It is recommended to feed a 80-100# dog 3 -3 1/4 cups per day.
1 cup=8 oz.
Your total feeding cost per day would be approx $.81 - $.88.
Your per month expense would be $24.30 - $26.40
LOOK AT THE $avings when you feed QUALITY.
I understand the upfront per bag cost can confuse you, but I PROMISE you will not only $ave money, but your dog will look better.
A healthy pet is less susceptible to skin conditions such as extreme itching & even mange.
