 Share

Recommended Posts

Just curious :rainbowbridge:

Breed and age: Weimaraner, 7 months old

Product name, size and cost: Eagle Pack Large Breed Puppy, 15kg, $101

Daily amount fed: 4 cups

How long does the bag last: roughly 6 weeks

Average cost of feeding/week: $16

Anything to add: Diet is supplemented daily with cooked pumpkin and weekly with sardines and bones. He is thriving on this but I'll be switching him to EP Holistic next week to see if he does even better.

Breed and age: Lagotto, 7 years old

Product name, size and cost: Proplan Senior, 17kg, $104.95

Daily amount fed: 1.5 cups

How long does the bag last: roughly 16 weeks

Average cost of feeding/week: $6.50

Anything to add: Diet is supplemented weekly with sardines and bones. 17kg bag is way too big for her (my mistake).. will be purchasing a smaller bag for her next time. Unsure if I will keep her on Proplan or switch her to EP.

OMG this has made me think about what I feed! So here goes nothing.

Breed and age: Collie Smooth x 3 (ages 5 months, 18months and 3 1/2 years) Collie Rough aged 22 months.

Product name, size and cost: Eagle Pack Power formula 18kg $106

Daily amount fed: varies from 1 cup per day through to 2 cups per day depending on dog, about 5 1/2 cups per day between the 4 dogs.

How long does the bag last: 4 weeks

Average cost of feeding/week: 26.50/week thats 6.60 per dog per week Hey just worked out that its costing about 1.00 per day per dog for dry food :-)

Anything to add: I also feed chicken mince second daily, chicken frames twice per week, lamb offcuts twice weekly and add Omega oils to diets daily. What does it cost????? Don't care!

Will be changing diet of oldest smooth girl this week as i'm having some weight issues with her as she isn't as active as the others. She will be going onto a Eagle Pack holistic formula. Have never been happier with how my dogs looked since I put them on Eagle Pack 12 months ago.
