But to say that high quality foods is too expensive is not necessarily the case. It depends on the food, but a $10 bag of high quality food will last a month or more. That does not cost too much for better quality food. |
Spot on. After doing research (and deciding I wanted to go with dry kibble, at least for the time being), I decided on Innova Puppy. That was back in early/mid April. The bag of food costs about $15. I am just now running out.
After deciding that I wanted to go grain-free, I just bought a bag of Taste of the Wild (the prairie one). I fully expect this bag to last me thru August easy, if not thru September. It costs $10.69.
And since I am trying to get Harley to gain weight, I give her a cup in the morning and a cup at night. She never eats all of it. She doesn't even usually eat half of that.
If you were feeding a larger dog, I would agree that high-quality food
might put a dent in your budget. But Yorkies don't eat much.
$10-$15 every 6-8 weeks is hardly an excuse to not feed your dog quality kibble. If you want to feed Iams, or Purina, or whatever, go ahead. It's your dog. But don't use cost as an excuse. Not for food.
