That depends on the foods involved, and the nutrients each contains. If you're considering switching your dog's food, consult with your Veterinarian about how much should be fed each day. Also, remember that the switch should be made slowly, over 7 to 10 days' time, with the percentage of new food being greater each day, until the dog is eating only the new food. Making a quick change can cause stomach upset and diarrhea.
There are 16 ounces in a pound. This is true no matter what substance we are measuring, dog food, peanut butter, iron filings, sand, etc.
(8 pounds of anything) x (16 ounces of the same stuff per pound) = 128 ounces
ounces could mean both weight and volume, which is the source of the confusion. In order to answer the question, you need to weigh the food, and find how many cups are in one Lbs. I measured different type of dog food, and hound that 5 cups weigh between 1.8Lbs to 2.2 Lbs. That implies that one Lbs of dog food can give 2.3 to 2.7 cups. So - an average 20 Lbs bag of dog food has approximately 50 cups. ======================== I agree with the original answer although there is a way to get an approximate answer. Because you can convert ounces and pounds, and you get 8 ounces per cup. With 16 ounces making a pound you can get an approximate answer to how many cups in a 20 pound bag. So you should get about 40 cups, again depending on size of the food. It could vary depending on how dense the food is. A cup is a measure of volume. A pound is a measure of weight. They do not directly convert.
Since there are 16 ounces in one pound, you multiply 16 by the 8 pounds. So, the dog weighs 128 ounces.
eight
Well,it depends on the dog food.
About 2.4 cups
It depends on the manufactures packing. I am picking up two pallets of dog food today and they consist of 35 bags at 40 pounds each so a total of 1,400 pounds per pallet plus the weight of the pallet itself which should be under 50 pounds.

6 to 9 pounds
There are 8 oz. in a cup so how many cups equal a pound?

A cup of dog food weighs about 4 ounces. It is important to feed animals the correct amount of food, and not overfeed them.
