How to buy dry dog food well
Cost per pound first, then cost per day from the label feeding guide for your dog's weight; a calorie-dense food can cost more per pound and less per day. The biggest bag is only a saving if it is finished fresh, roughly within six weeks of opening. See the dog food cost per day guide for the full method.
