Lillynix Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Sorry, just a question I'm hoping a few people can help me out and save a few trips to the pet food shops. What I would like to know is... For the EAGLE PACK holistic select senior care kibble and ARTEMIS fresh mix maximal kibble (grain free), on the packet how many grams/cups a day is required roughly for a 30kg dog? Just trying to do some sums and this info would help greatly (and save me a trip dragging two young children with me!) Thanks in advance!

Dogsfevr Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I never follow the pack data because each dog is different .What it recommends is often weight to much but for some not enough. Are you adding food to the dry or straight out dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh definitely realise it's just a guide and best to go by your own dogs needs I'm just looking at different brands at the moment (dog yet to come and live with us) trying to figure out best value for money, how many feeds per bag and cost per feed etc...all very rough of course but just using the guides on the packs as a starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, I've done you a comparison using grams as that will give you a better guide, the products have different density so 1 cup of 1 weighs more than the other. Feeding Guides Eagle Pack Senior 332 grams per day Artemis Maximal 324 grams per day Artemis Medium/Large Senior 310 grams per day All the above based on a 32kg dog. Days Bag will Last Eagle Pack Senior 45 days (15kg bag) Artemis Maximal 42 days (13.6kg bag) Artemis Medium/Large Senior 44 days (13.6kg bag) Cost Per Day - Based on current RRP Eagle Pack Senior $2.76 per day Artemis Maximal $2.66 per day Artemis Medium/Large Senior $2.37 per day Hope that helps you I've included the Artemis Medium / Large Breed Senior for your reference also.
