If you are unsure what size of cat food to get, this post will show you how long you can expect different sizes of cat food to last with a regular adult cat.
How long does a 5Ib bag of cat food last?
A bag of cat food typically contains 4 cups per pound of kibble. If the bag weighs 5Ib, there should be 20 cups of kibble in there. A regular cat will eat about 1/2 a cup per day. So, a 5Ib bag of cat food should last for 40 days with a single adult cat. This size of cat food would be appropriate if you only have one cat.
How long does a 7Ib bag of cat food last?
A 7Ib bag of cat food should have around 28 cups of kibble in there. This would last a single cat 56 days. This size of cat food would be appropriate if you have one or two cats.
How long does a 20Ib bag of cat food last?
A 20Ib bag of cat food should have around 80 cups of cat food. This should be enough to last a single cat 160 days if fed 1/2 a cup per day. However, the food will likely go stale after a couple of months. It would only be worth buying this size of cat food if you have multiple cats.
How long does a 25Ib bag of cat food last?
A 25Ib bag of cat food should have 100 cups of kibble. This should be enough to last a single cat 200 days but it will likely go stale after a couple of months and your cat may not eat it. This size of cat food is appropriate if you have multiple cats.
How long does a 30Ib bag of cat food last?
A 30Ib bag of cat food would have 120 cups of kibble in there. This is enough to last a single cat 240 days if fed half a cup per day. It is only recommended to get this size if you are feeding multiple cats.

How long does dry cat food stay fresh?
A bag of dry cat food can last for several months. However, the freshness will likely last for only up to around 6 weeks. With that being the case, it would help to avoid getting more than your cat will need to last 6 weeks.
Should I feed my cat wet food as well as dry food?
Vets will often recommend that you feed your cat a combination of wet and dry food. This is because wet food can be beneficial to cats with certain health problems, cats that are overweight and because cats often like the variety. However, dry food is cheaper, can be used in toys and is more convenient.
Should I allow my cat to free feed dry food?
Often cats that free feed become overweight. If you find that your cat is able to free feed without becoming too overweight, it would be ok to free feed your cat. However, if you find that they start gaining weight, it would likely be best not to free feed them.
