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 (535 calories a cup), feed by calories, not by the old scoop: a 50 lb dog needs about 2.1 cups a day.
Taste of the Wild is cheaper per meal. Why pay more?
A few cents a meal buys 125 more calories in every cup. For a 50 lb dog that is 2.1 cups a day instead of 2.8, 28 days per 15 lb bag instead of 21, and roughly 13 bags a year instead of 17. On the comparison, Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain is $0.97 a meal and 30/20 Chicken is about $1.00 ($0.90 with Subscribe & Save). Cost footnote.
Which Taste of the Wild formula is this compared with?
Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain Grain-Free, the Taste of the Wild formula on the Bully Max brand comparison, at 410 calories a cup and listed as containing plant protein. Bully Max 30/20 Chicken is 535 calories a cup and meat-based.
What is the Nutrient Density Rating?
Bully Max’s own 1–10 scale, based on calories per cup and whether a formula’s protein is meat-based. Plant-protein and lower-calorie formulas score lower. It is not an independent or third-party rating. Method.
