I wasn’t quite sure where to put this.... it’s about dogs-family- frugal, and has been a challenge, lol.
I have an older dog who needs a different food, per our vet. The food from the vet was $38. For 6.6 lbs. uh, no, just no. I buy our dog food at Costco, 30lbs. For $28. The 30 lbs. feeds 3 dogs for a month, the 6.6lbs. Would have fed 1 dog for 7 or 8 days. Easy to say No to that!
So I asked for clarification, what exactly are we trying to achieve? Lower fat content. Well, the food they’ve all been eating for years has 14%, and the very expensive vet food has 13%. Uh, no, again. Not enough difference to justify the cost or a switch.
Today I was at Costco, and checked all the bags of their food. I found Kirkland Premium Healthy Weight Dog Formula, chicken and vegetables, and all the right additives, omegas, glucosamine, antioxidants, etc. Fat content, 6%. Wow!! That sounds like a winner! And even better, it is 40 lbs for $24. Needless to say, I bought it. I took a picture of the ingredients and sent it to my vet, who wrote back, “sounds great. Buy it!”
Sweet success!
