thats a lot of food, ok so we're probably doing this wrong but roxy just has food in her bowl and can eat when she wants, she eats a bowl maybe every 2 days, she doesn't eat a lot, maybe thats y she's so skinny. we go through a small bag maybe 1 a month or so
That's sick. Do you feed your dogs all at one time? The dog trainer said I may never have Sasuke and Ninja eat together because Sasuke's food aggression... He also said it was uncommon for an Akita, Yorkie, and a Cat to be eating a the same time, but we still can do it.
That's a month's rent for me What do you do with all the poo? Fertilizer? I hope you get a frequent buyer discount from wherever you buy those from. It looks Costco-esque lol.
Steph: Toby is 40lbs? Wow! Sasuke is 25lbs at 7months. How big was Toby? I'm just trying to imagine how big Sasuke might get when he is fully grown.
Can you get breeder's bags or broken bags from the supplier/at the store-maybe cheaper, I don't know if it's possible in your area given the remote-atude. Wow!
Rui - Our pups LOVE the salmon Acana. The only downside is if they spit up at all [Kahuna tends to do this due to drink too much water] you get a lovely fishy smell.
Joe - Yes, we feed all the pups at the same time except for lunch - Masha is the only pup that gets lunch. We feed them in their crates or in different areas of the house. Some of them eat twice a day some eat once - some of them just don't like to eat in the AM.

Food costs - We are part of the Orijen/Acana breeder program, so we get a small discount, but it is what it is... We have 11 dogs, 4 of them are Akita, and 2 are Caucasian Mountain Dogs. Some are even puppies and therefore eat more... so, it's gonna be a lot of food to feed that type of pack. Where a Shiba will get a cup of food [or so] a day An Akita eats around 3 cups and a CO eats about 6 cups a day.

As for the poop, I will go out and take a pic later. We have been collecting it in the wheel barrel for a while now, eventually I will build some poo composters but I have to wait till the snow melts for that.

The amount of food is scary too. Just not as scary as the poop.
Then again, Toby eats through 1 big bag of Orijen per month, soo not sure where it is going. lol
Those 2 bags of Orijen are for Kaia, Maui, Loa, and Ahi. They go through that in a month... Does Toby have a tapeworm?

Then again, he's not a normal Shiba. He's almost 40 lbs.
Am I weird for sorta kinda somewhat wanting to see the poop? :-/
I'm with Dave though, I'm kind of curious to see the poop too. It's almost sort of a don't believe it till you see it thing.
We're trying that salmon Acana next month to start our rotation. How are the pups liking it?
Miso and Sake barely finish one big bag of orijen in a month...
That's a month's rent for me
