How long would a 7 lb. bag of dry puppy food last with a shih-tzu x maltese puppy approx.?

im trying to figure out how much the puppy's gonna cost weekly/ monthly

both breeds are relatively small, and puppies do not eat as much as adult dogs, so probably about a 2.5-4 weeks. but if you haven't yet gotten the pup, just remember to factor in not only food, but a crate, shots, toys, bedding, etc. but once all of the initial costs are gone, (assuming vet visits are not too often) probabaly about $50/month for all the food and some new toys and treats =). and remember it is much more cost effective to buy the bigger bags of food. the food i feed my dogs is $15 for a 8 lb bag, almost $2 per lb. or $41 for a 45 lb bag, under $1 per lb. good luck

    Very long, since a shih tzi is a small animal(and a maltese is a small animal too)!

    well I don't know how much you are planning on feeding your dog and also some dogs are different like people some aren't very BIG eater and eat very little put down some and how much he eats you can pretty much guess how long it will last.
    Hope I helped

    It depends on how much you feed them.

    How much you feed them then depends on their size, their activity level and the quality of food.
