The truth of the matter is the discounted pet food brand is actually more expensive per serving than many of the highest priced brands. Yes, you read that correctly. The explanation for this is found on the feeding instructions and the ingredients in the pet food itself. Every pet is different, and the amount of food your pet eats per day also varies with age and activity level. But according to the feeding instructions as researched and recommended by each pet food manufacturer, you will probably be surprised at the cost per serving.Just in case you are thinking your dog or cat will be starving eating less food per day of one of those high quality pet foods, actually quite the opposite is true. According to the web site of one of the most popular brands of dog food sold in the U.S., the feeding instructions tell you that a thirty pound dog would need to eat around three cups of food per day. The cost of this pet food breaks down to being about $.67 per cup. So that means Fido would eat $2.01 worth of dog food each day according to the recommended feeding instructions on the label.But on the other hand, from a web site of a high end, all human grade ingredients, all U.S. ingredients dog food –- the feeding instructions tell you that a thirty pound dog would need to eat around 1 ½ cups of food per day. The cost of this food is about $1.16 per cup. This food seems to be about twice as expensive as the popular brand. However, according to the recommended feeding amount, Fido would eat $1.74 worth of dog food each day. That's a savings of $.27 per day to feed your dog a high quality, human grade ingredients, no risky imports dog food. Maybe I haven't 'sold' you yet -- let me remind you that the popular dog food brand contains by-products (chicken feet, cow intestines, lungs, spleens), imported ingredients from 'Asian sources', and risky chemical preservatives. The high quality dog food uses all human grade meat ingredients (No chicken feet, cow intestines, lungs, spleens), all U.S. ingredients, and natural preservatives. The savings you would have in your pocket from Not feeding the seemingly discounted brand is $.27 per day -- over $98.00 per year.
Let me share with you my own testimonial. My 80 pound Golden Retriever, Trouper, eats only 2 3/4 cups of food per day. I feed him a very high end dog food that costs around $1.86 per cup. This means he eats about $2.09 of food per day; $762.85 worth of high quality ingredient dog food per year. He's 4 years old and in excellent health. Now, according to the feeding instructions of the most popular (sort of discount) brand of dog food I used in the example below, I would need to feed my big boy almost six cups a day. This is over double the amount of food as he eats now. Six cups of the seemingly discounted food costs $3.40 per day - $1241.00 a year. I am saving over $478.00 per year to feed him human grade ingredients, no imported ingredients, and no risky chemicals by not feeding him by-products, risky imports and dangerous chemicals. No he doesn't beg for more food, no he's not skinny; he's healthy and vibrant. Let us help you choose a better diet and save you money…all at the same time today!
