How It Works
Simple division: (bag weight in grams) ÷ (daily amount in grams × number of dogs) = number of days. A 15kg bag fed to one dog at 300g per day lasts 50 days — just over 7 weeks.
Dry dog food shelf life after opening: typically 4-6 weeks for kibble in an airtight container. If your calculation shows the bag lasting 10+ weeks, consider buying a smaller bag to maintain freshness, or using an airtight storage container with oxygen absorbers.
Veterinary Research
Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.
