How Food Lasting Period Is Calculated

"Food Lasting Period" represents the exact number of days your current food supply will sustain your dog before running out. We calculate this using a standard inventory duration formula.

Days = (Package Size × 1000) / (Daily Amount × Number of Dogs × (1 + Waste%))

Where:

  • Package Size is in kilograms (converted to grams)
  • Daily Amount is the grams fed per dog per day
  • Waste% accounts for spilled or uneaten food

First, the tool calculates your total daily consumption by multiplying the daily amount by the number of dogs and adjusting for waste. Then, it divides your total package weight by this daily rate. This method ensures accuracy by accounting for real-world usage and special dietary needs.

What Your Days the food will last Means

This number tells you precisely when your pet's food will be depleted, allowing you to plan purchases and avoid emergency trips to the store. By interpreting your result range, you can optimize your buying habits for both cost and freshness.

  • 0–7 Days (Critical Shortage): Your supply is very low. You should purchase a new bag immediately to prevent running out.
  • 15–30 Days (Standard Cycle): This is the ideal range for most owners. It balances food freshness with the convenience of monthly shopping.
  • 31–60 Days (Bulk Buyer Window): You are buying in large quantities. Ensure your storage containers are airtight to maintain nutrient quality over time.
