[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Rx food is the same price every where that I checked when we had to use it a few months ago. Even Chewy was the same price as our vet. Luckily, our dog’s issues cleared up after about a month on the food (and our guy is only 50 lbs). [/quote]

OP here.  Thanks all for the suggestions.  I think we will try adding some pumpkin to his diet first (was just reading about that more).

Here is the math I am looking at.  He gets 6.5 cups a day for roughly 100 lb of kibble a month - is a healthy weight and still growing. Using Chewy's pricing:

1) [b]Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy[/b] is $89 for a 47 lb bag = $1.90/lb = [b]$190/month[/b]
2) [b]Purina Por Plan Large Breed Sensitive Stomach and Skin[/b] is $92 for a 35 lb bag = $2.62/lb = [b]$262/month[/b]
3) [b]Royal Canin Gastro RX[/b] at Chewy is $105 for a 22 lbs bag = $4.77/lb = [b]$477/month[/b]

So from what I can tell the RX kibble will be way more expensive.    [/quote]
You’re calculating the price as though he will eat 100lbs of kibble no matter what kind you choose, but they’ll each have a different number of calories per cup, so an appropriate serving won’t be the same number of cups for each kibble.[/quote]
