I buy EVO and pay about $56 for, I think, a 33.5 lb. bag. The price of food goes up and the bags get smaller! I also feed Natural Balance and it is about the same as EVO...maybe $3 a bag less. I don't know how you folks with more than a few dogs afford it. It is getting way out of hand and of course the food companies are playing on our desire to feed "wholesome" and "natural" food and so stick it on the bag and jack up the price <sigh> Cynthia --- On Fri, 9/5/08, Rosemarie Davis <noroda@xxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Rosemarie Davis <noroda@xxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Cost of Dog Food To: spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx, "ShowGSD-l" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday, September 5, 2008, 1:12 PM I pay 22.69 for a 40 lb. bag of Kirkland chicken & rice. The only 20 lb bags I've seen is the puppy food. I've been feeding it for over 15 yrs.

I am curious as to what everyone is paying. I feed raw and very rarely walk into a Petco/Petsmart, etc. so don't have any ideas as to what a 40 lbs. bag of dog food costs these days (okay, 37.5 lbs.)... My company just supplied employees and their spouses with Costco cards, I might just pick up a small bag of food to have on hand. How many varieties are there and what are people using... My girls love their raw, but every now and then a little kibble hits the spot for them.
