How much fuel do my dogs need to stay healthy?

Everyday I walk my dogs, they must have the right fuel. Labradors like their food, so we have to measure out the perfect amount twice a day to make sure they remain healthy enough to stay in motion for us all to get ‘oot an aboot’.

Q. How many Kilograms of kibble do they both wolf down each year?

A. 292Kg

How: 1xcup 2 x per day: 200g x2 feeds x2 dogs=800g per day *x365 = 292kg per year

Q. How many individual pieces of kibble do they consume altogether in 1 year? A. 179,142 pieces

How: 123 pieces = 200g of kibble: 200g / 123 pieces = 1.63g per piece

292,000g / 1.63g per piece of kibble = 179,142
