Each dog eats about 60lbs a month, at 2.5%of their body weight, and 3-5% for the rescue puppy. That's about 180lb of meat and $108 per month. Versus $63 per month, unfortunately there's no comparision.

It's $28 a bag, and buy about 2 bags a month. Would love to go back to raw but I don't have the freezer setup for the amount of meat I would need to feed three dogs. At $.60 a lb, the raw is way more expensive than kibble.

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.
