STRAIGHT ANSWERS
- Can I switch straight over?
- Go gradually. Over about 7 days, mix a little more Bully Max into the old food each day until the bowl is all Bully Max. Because 30/20 is denser, feed by the bag's chart, not by the old scoop.
- Why does the bag cost more than the brands in the table?
- More calories and protein per cup means fewer cups a day. For a 50 lb dog, a 15 lb bag of 30/20 lasts about 28 days against 17 to 25 for the other formulas here.*
- Where do these numbers come from?
- From the Bully Max brand comparison at shop.bullymax.com/pages/product-comparison, based on reviewed formulas at the time of comparison. Other brands' prices were taken from that page on October 7, 2026 and change over time.‡
- Is the Nutrient Density Rating independent?
- No. It is Bully Max's own 1–10 scale, based on calories per cup and whether a formula's protein is meat-based.† It is not a third-party rating.
