First off OMG I didnt know it was $85 for a 29.7lb back this is the first time I got the big bag. Ok so my girl is around 95lbs...since this is a higher protein and high cal food...how many cups total do you recommend a day....she seems to love this food a lot better than the blue buffalo lamb and rice I had her on....so I don't mind the price but as far as serving what do you all suggest.

What's the difference in calories from the blue food and Orijen?
60 or 70 a cup I believe because the protein is a lot higher....I thought that was high but the evo herring and salmon is like 516 cals per cup

There are recommended feeding amounts on the lower left back side of the bag. Has amount of cups to give depending on weight and activity level. That should give you a good start. You will need to watch her weight and adjust the amount if your girl looses or gains weight. I am confused as I was thinking it had 527 calories a cup?!? I am finishing up a bag of it now. Crap, was just looking at Parker yesterday and thinking he was loosing weight!!! You might check the fat percentages on the Evo as the fat is where a lot of the calories come from. It is a grainless top quality food so better for your girl if it agrees with her.

When I fed Orijen Six Fish my girl got about 2 cups a day as well (she's 68 pounds). 95 pounds sounds REALLY heavy for a female...can you post a picture of her? Does she need to lose a little "fluff?"
By the way, you can actually get Orijen much more cheaply than that. I've found it online here: Orijen Adult Dry Dog Food for $67 for the largest bag and free shipping.

She's a pretty girl, but boy, she does need to lose quite a bit of weight. I don't say that to be mean, but for her health. She's carrying a lot of extra weight and that's going to be hard on her joints.
Take a look at this thread for some guidelines as to what a dog should look at feel like at optimum weight: http://www.dobermantalk.com/doberman-health/59590-your-dog-overweight.html
