How do I work out how long a pack would last my dog?Updated 5 months ago
To determine how long a pack of food would last your dog using the Frontier Pets feeding guide, follow these steps:
1. Check the feeding guide: Frontier Pets provides a feeding guide based on your dog's weight. Find the section in the guide that aligns with your dog's weight category.

2. Daily feeding amount: Look for the recommended daily amount of food (usually measured in grams) that your dog needs. This is often provided as a dry weight before rehydration (for freeze-dried food).
3. Size of the pack: Determine the size of the food pack you have (e.g., 300g, 900g, 2.5kg, or 5kg).
4. Calculate duration: Days the pack will last = Weight of the pack/Daily feeding amount
For example, if your dog requires 60g of food per day and you have a 2.5kg bag of pet food, the food will last for just over 42 days or 21 meals if you were feeding them twice a day.
Days pack will last | Weight of the Pack | Daily Feeding Amount |
~167 days | 2500g | 15g |
~83 days | 2500g | 30g |
~42 days | 2500g | 60g |
~25 days | 2500g | 100g |
~17 days | 2500g | 145g |
~13 days | 2500g | 190g |
~11 days | 2500g | 230g |
~9 days | 2500g | 270g |
~7 days | 2500g | 355g |
This gives you an estimate of how long one pack will last your dog. Adjust the calculation based on your dog's specific weight and dietary needs.
