JAJ2010 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Sad for the loss of jobs. I never thought about the trend towards smaller dogs ment less purchased dog food. Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WhiteWave Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I honestly don't think it has to do with size of dogs people have. Large/giant breeds are still very popular. I think had to do with the foods people are choosing to buy. They are not buying the cheap food Mars makes. They are buying higher end foods from smaller companies. But Jack (19lbs) and Rocky (25lbs) together eat the same amount as Casper (118lbs) per day. Small dogs eat more per lb than larger dogs and can go through some food especially if you have more than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
