	Mihkoa, you're doing the math right, but you're misunderstanding the results. The calculator is giving it to you in scientific notation because the number is so small. Here's a scientific calculator that will give you the number without the scientific notation: http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/scientific.htm If Dogster puts spaces in it, just take them out. For instance - Bailey weighs 58lbs and eats Taste of the Wild Wetlands (58/2.2) x 30 70 = 860 calories per day Taste of the Wild Wetlands is 3750 cal/kg = 1704 cal/lb 15 lbs x 1704 cal/lb = 25 560 cal $27.99/25 560 = $0.001095 per cal $0.001095 x 860 = $0.94/day = $28.20/month Edited by author Tue May 13, '08 10:15am PST

	Belle weighs about 5.5 lbs and eats Taste of the Wild Wetlands (5.5/2.2) x 30+70 = 145 calories per day Taste of the Wild Wetlands is 3750 cal/kg = 1704 cal/lb 5 lbs x 1704 cal/lb = 8520 cal $9.99/8520= $0.00117 per cal $0.00117 x 145 = $0.17/day = $5.10/month I used the price I pay for the size I buy. Wow, for only .17 cents a day you can feed this cute little, thinks she's starving, pooch.

	Here's another method - Taste of the Wild Wetlands: 3750 cal/kg Combined, my two girls require 1475 cal/day. A bag of Taste of the Wild Wetlands is 6.8 kg x 3750 cal/kg = 25 500 cal/bag. 25 500 cal/bag / 1475 cal/day = 17.28 days/bag $27.99 bag / 17.28 days = $1.62 per day Orijen Adult: 4200 cal/kg 7kg x 4200 cal/kg = 29 400 cal/bag 29 400 cal/bag / 1475 cal/day = 19.93 days/bag $33.99 bag / 19.93 days = $1.70 per day

	$70 for Orijen fish?!?!?! We pay $40 ($2 less than Science Diet in the same size bag), that's insane.

	Orijen is made right outside of Edmonton isn't it? I guess the further you are from where it's made the more expensive it is.

	Mihkoa using Rudy's formula, I've got you figured at needing 452 calories per day. Pro Plan costs you $0.000344672 per calorie, $0.16 per day, $1.12 per week, and $58.24 per year to feed Mihkoa. I just noticed that Dogster took out my plus signs on the first post. Gah!

	I'm still waiting on e-mails back from Alpo, Bil-Jac, Dog Chow, Purina One, Pedigree, The Good Life, Eukanuba, Halo, and Nutro. Thanks to Gunner again for opening that stupid file and with the help of everyone's favorite little man, Kuma, here's what I have so far. Oh, the ? means I don't know and the -- means that I've contacted them. So yeah: This is a list of calories per pound in dog foods. Some are not exact because the manufactures would only provide the caloric information per cup and did not include the weight. Therefore I picked the weight of the cup to figure a rough estimate of calories per pound. All estimates (shown as �Brand� (estimated)) are based on 1 cup = 115 grams. All other numbers are according to the manufacture except where noted.
