How Long Will My Dog Food Last Calculator

Every time I buy a new brand/size bag, of dog food, I face the same old conundrum – how long will it last us?

I’ve spent my fair share of time over the years calculating this manually. But no more.

I decided to create a calculator that allows you to work out quickly how many days your bag will last you, factoring in its size, and how many cups you feed.

So without further ado, here is my handy calculator that will help get a better idea of when it will likely run out, or need replacing:

How Much Should Your Dog Eat Per Day?

The amount a dog should eat depends on two primary factors; their age along with their breed (and subsequent size).

The following are general recommendations for adults of the different breed size classifications:

• Toy Breeds (3-6 pounds): 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup per day.
• Small Breeds (10-20 pounds): 3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups per day.
• Medium Breeds (30-50 pounds) 1 3/4 to 2 2/3 cups per day.
• Large Breeds: (60-100 pounds) 3 to 4 1/2 cups per day, plus 1/3 cup for every 10 pounds over 100 pounds.

For puppies, a simple rule is to feed them 20g per 2 lbs of their body weight per day. So, if you have a puppy weighing 10 lbs, they will need ~100g (0.2 lbs) per day. This equates to around 2 cups per day.

Regardless of your dog’s age, it is essential to check in with your

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily total calorie intake.

Using these numbers, you can therefore begin to work out how long your bag should last in the calculator above or reference table below.
