I actually have no idea what food costs. My wife and I show and breed dogs andI want every edgeI can get on health, so I always buy a premium quality food that is recommended by the Whole Dog Journal. A few extra dollars on food is nothing compared to vet bills; plus, I hate the daily job of picking poop for 14 dogs! The less poop, the better!

Currently, we're feeding Royal Canin because we (and the WDJ) think it's a good food, it's readily available, and they have a pretty good breeders program. But everyone has to make their own decisions on what to feed their dog.
