Duremite Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm just curious. Assuming you feed dry dog food, how many pounds of food does/do your Husky/Huskies eat a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applebear Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't know what it is in pounds, but he eats 3 cups a day...he'd probably eat 5-8 if I let him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duremite Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Oh wow. XD Niko usually eats 2 - 2 1/2 a day. Dimitri and Sasha eat a little under 3 cups. We bought two 40 pound bags of food for the month, we expect to have extra though. XD They ate about 65 pounds of food last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 When you say cup, are you talking approx 200g? I feed 2 cups a day of Adren Grange Chicken and Rice (400g). To look at Storm, he is lean, though not skinny, weighing in at 21kg. He is muscular. If I feed him more, them his poos go loose, and reading the guide on the packet, he is eating for a 35-40kg dog, where as every book I read says that huskies ideally eat less than the indication on the packet. For Storms weight, the indication is around 280g, yet he's getting 400g and not putting on any weight. I don't worry because the vet's happy with him, and he is a fit and happy dog, but I am always curious about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I feed mine both 2 cups of food a day. I buy the 30lb bag of Taste of the Wild and it will last me almost 4 weeks. So I would say just around 30lbs a month for 2 huskies (15lbs each) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Suka's 30lb bag of TOTW lasts him almost 3 months. 1.5 cups a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Suka's 30lb bag of TOTW lasts him almost 3 months. 1.5 cups a day. I'm jealous!! I spend 50 bucks Every 3-4 weeks just for food!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobezilla Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Cloud and Yuki's last about 6 weeks. Yuki gets 2 cups a day (I know it seems a bit much, but she looked skinny on 1 cup and now at 2 cups she's grown consistently and is at a sleek, healthy weight) and Cloud gets 1 cup a day. So 3 cups a day, I buy 30lb bags of TOTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duremite Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm jealous of all of you. D: Mayhaps we are overfeeding ours? Like I said, 64 pounds of food lasted them until the last second last month and this month we bought two 40 pound bags. We expect to have extra at the end of the month though.

Duremite Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Oh, also, as far as money. We spent $65 for food on the dogs, and $35 on the cats. XD Half the money for three times the amount of cats vs dogs. Sorry for the double post, didn't have a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Duramite: what kind of kibble do you feed them? You need to feed a much greater amount of the cheap stuff, so if you buy the higher quality food you won't run out as fast. Or - it might also be because you have a million cats and dogs. LOL (Speaking of that...haven't forgotten about your signature...just a bit swamped right now with midterms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Shadow has 550 grams of raw meat per day so he has 17,050 grams per month lol which is roughly 37.5 pounds per month Skye has a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 no idea as Odin has diff each day, Thor mostly raw he's fav chicken leg's/wing's he get's 8/10 a day, Loki is the same but she get's 6/7 a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL (Speaking of that...haven't forgotten about your signature...just a bit swamped right now with midterms) We just switched to Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy at the very end of last month/beginning of this month. So yeah, the amount we're feeding will probably change. Never really thought about that. I'll have to monitor them a little more closely. They haven't been finishing meals completely lately, so I'm completely certain that's the case. I'll have to check back in and adjust the amount at the end of the month when I've got a better idea of how much they ate. LOL. It's not a million, only half a million. D:< But naw, I was just laughing at the fact that 9 cats cost $30 a month in food and the 3 dogs cost $60. What the cats lack in food though is made up by litter cost, but then the dogs beat out again after bones and treats. All in all, only about $130 a month. Though we tend to exceed that..... XD (Lol. No worries. I figured you'd just been busy. Take your time. :3 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I went to the pinned topic "What/How Much to feed" on the forum and actually did all of the calculations to see how much I should feed them. It was confusing at first but I was able to get it right. I also monitored their poo to make sure I wasn't over feeding. You don't as much if your feeding a grain free food too. Based on the chart is how I came up with 2 cups per day of TOTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duremite Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm going to look at the thread and recalculate the amount I'm giving. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
