Holy crap! I didn't even think to check dogfoodanalysis.com. I've been going website to website looking for the calories! You're a smart cookie Mr. Kuma! Thanks for looking this stuff up.
If anyone can get the calorie per pound (or kg) info for Iams and Eukanuba I'd appreicate it. I tried to e-mail them and it wouldn't work. Maybe it's because I'm in Canada, I don't know.

I had to e-mail a bunch of companies to get the info because it wasn't on the site. I'm waiting for information from the following Purina, By Nature, Natura, Eagle Pack, Good Life, Kibbles N' Bits, Natural Balance, Nature's Logic, Nature's Recipe, Nature's Variety, Nutro, Pedigree, Royal Canin, and Solid Gold.
I'd love to know Solid Gold (especially Barking at the moon or Mmillenia beef barley) when you find out--i'm switching foods and this is one brand i'm considering!
Sedona, you have entirely too much time on your paws!!!!
But it's a fabulous list. You should post the calories/lb of Kirkland as well, I think a lot of Dogsters use that. I used to, and switched to Canidae...for two 70lb dogs it wound up being like 20 cents more a day.
Sedona, thanks for this formula.. My moms are always worrying that I'm not eating enough. I'm a grazer. But if your formula is correct, I'm actually getting plenty to eat!
Thank you everyone!! Sorry it took so long for a reply. 1229 ish...sounds about right for what he's been getting. I have to make sure I save that math formula so that I can rely on it. In Ocean City MD it's 54.25 for a 26.9 lb bag (the big bag) of Orijen adult. Cat and Canine Comforts also has a deal going where after you buy 8 bags you get one free (I am pretty sure it's 8 it might be ten).
