Anyone use this with a dog that needs 4 cups a day? About how long does the bag last? We are going to be traveling and want to assure I have enough.

It should probably last you about a month. I have one dog that eats 4 cups a day and another that eats 2 cups a day. A bag of this food typically last me a little over 3 weeks.

Three to five weeks. I wouldn't switch brands when traveling with your dog or leaving your dog when you travel... It takes awhile to adjust! Why???

I feed my 23lb Shiba 2 cups daily and the bag lasts me 2 months; so approximately 120 cups.

This bowl is pretty large. I don't use it for traveling, but I would think it would be too big to use on a plan with a dog in travel bag. I would suggest a cloth/water resistant foldable portable water cup would make more sense so you could pour water in it when needed, then fold it up when you don't.

My dog gets the suggested daily dose of 1/4 rounded teaspoon per cup of dry dog food. I know there are a lot of doses in the size container I buy which is one pound. This seems to be just about right for her as she seems to have no digestive problems. I have never actually counted the dosages, but it lasts a long time. I wouldn't want to be without this product.

I have a 30lb corgi that can eat the pieces with no trouble. They are about the size of a dime, but a little fatter. My dog loves all the flavors, but we avoid the fish formula (too much gas!!). This is high-protein rocket fuel for dogs, so don't over-feed. Do NOT follow the instructions on the bag; it's too much. Go by your dog's optimum size and feed accordingly. I only feed about 1/4 cup twice a day to maintain her weight. So even tho' it's expensive, a bag lasts a long time. Great stuff - my dog does wonderfully on it. I won't feed her anything else.

If you don't mind filling it up daily, and the two of you are not excessive water drinkers--then this size would be grand. I am single, and use it for drinking, cooking, and my dog (Toy Fox Terrier). I tend to fill it up every other day for myself and the puppy, on average; which means that we probably go through a bit more than 80oz day. If you two are an active couple, however, I would recommend the next size up. But it all comes down to how often you want to fill it. Berkey's are great, so either way I totally recommend one!!

I have two Akitas (large dogs over 100 lbs) and with mine because they are very active, I leave food in their bowls and they eat when they are hungry. However, if they were not active, I would use one cup for each dog in the morning and one cup for dinner. I hope this helps

Feedin the amount they recommend it should last 30 days but I personally find their recommendation to be too much. I believe it says 1/4 cup a day. My hamsters bowl doesn't even hold 1/4 cup and of course hamsters store food. I purchased my first bag 2 months ago and I'm just about to run out. I haven't measured how much I give her but its probably 1/8 cup and I monitor her stashes. I tried feeding the recommended 1/4 cup and she wouldn't even stash it all. It would sit and build up. I really like this food. It's one of the healthiest I can find and it's a reasonable price.

According to the box, they recommend splitting the daily food into two servings, or 2-4 cups DRY per day with 3-6 cups of water. According to the box, this means one 10 lb box will last 10-20 days. My dog is around 60 pounds and also active (5 years old) and should get a little more than your dog. I can't afford those kind of prices, so I halve the amount of Honest Kitchen Force and supplement with Blue Buffalo Wilderness. So I get 1.5 months out of a box, and more than that from the Blue Buffalo Bag (40 lb.). Note that I have found Force available $5 cheaper at a local store than on the internet.

I am like Kelly, I don't keep the original bag but if you have one, you could do the math. How many cups in the bag and how much glucosamine in the bag. Sorry I couldn't help you more. I also give my 80 pounds of dog extra glucosamine tabs during the week, he thinks they are treats.

Oh totally! Just make sure your dogs meet the weight requirement. I love mine .. My dog is not such a fan but she's getting use to it. I feel so much better know she's safe when traveling with me.

A small dog yes. It only holds about 1/2 cup of food so u will have to refill quite a bit depending on how much he eats. My dog is 10 lbs and I have to fill it about 3 times a day

Our dog is about 65 lbs and she usually eats 2 cups a day. We did try the recommended 2.5-3 cups but she would not finish it. The 30 lb bag lasts us a little less than 2 months.

I dont know the exact cups, but I can tell you my dog eats about 2ish cups a day (sometimes more some times less) and 1 bag lasted us a little over a month.
