Stella and Chewy's - how long does a bag last?

[Paula]

Can anyone tell me about how long a bag of the freeze dried lamb (16 oz) would last for both Pip and Roo? Pip's current weight is 4.8 and Roo's is 4.2.

They both probably would get about 2/3 of a patty per meal. I don't feed the freeze dried and get the big sized bags of the frozen...so I can't provide much help on how long it would last, but I think feeding the freeze dried is more expensive than the frozen. I know for personal reasons you don't do raw meats etc. but I do find that the frozen makes them feel fuller...the freeze dried they just think is a cookie So IDK if that is an option or not for you but either way I think both are great products.

Yeah we do the large frozen patties too. Your pups would probably eat 1/2 pattie a day total so a 6lb bag (cost us about $26) would last you two about 24 days as there are 12 patties per 6lb bag.

I've also never fed the freeze dried as it seems much more expensive.

I use the freeze dried. A 16 ounce bag has 32 patties. I would guess that if you fed it exclusively, you would probably feed half a patty in the morning and half in the evening so one patty a day. You could adjust up or down, but that's what I would say to start with. (Brody is 5 pounds and when I use S&C for a meal, he eats half a patty with a tablespoon of warm water. It becomes like a canned food consistency).

So one bag would last about 2 weeks if you fed it twice a day exclusively.
