How many cups are in a 16 lb bag of eukanuba dry dog food?
As an approximation, my 40lb bag of dry Eukanuba large breed puppy food fits pretty well in a 45 quart container.
45quarts * 4 cup / 1 quart = 180 cups.
180 cups * 16 lb / 40 lb = 72 cups.
This is just an approximation based on how the large nugget food fits in my container. If you have a scale that reads ounces you could put cups on it until it reads 16oz and multiply by lbs in a bag.
Can dog urine stick to the carpet when it dries?

What can a 12-year-old do to make money to buy a dog?
That's really a good question. I know if I wanted to buy a dog, I'd figure out any way I could to earn the money I need. But remember, there's also the cost of the dog food, vaccinations and vet visits when your pet gets sick. There's a lot more expense than just buying a dog.
Ok, here's some suggestions: You could mow lawns, wash cars, and in the fall, rake lawns. Maybe some of your neighbors/relatives have some "odd jobs" that need to be done, like cleaning out a basement or a garage.
The really hard part of those jobs is deciding if you're willing to do something about it, making the effort to go looking for them, and then actually following through and completing them.
It sounds to me like you've found the new friend you want to share your life with and from being a dog owner myself, it's worth every bit of work and effort. If you treat your dog like your best buddy, you'll have a true and loyal friend for life, and more love than you'll know what to do with.
Here is some more advice from WikiAnswers contributors: *
All the above things are great..and here is a suggestion...that depending on where you are you may find can work well....and shows everyone you understand what it requires to have a dog...
All dogs are great, but as many will tell you, some of the best are looking for you to adopt them at the local humane shelter. (Unfortunately, more dogs are born than there are people to take them...and some people who have them must give them up).
There are costs in adopting a dog...and the people at the Humane Society can help you make sure you get one that is right for you, and him (or her). These places need volunteers to do everything - help clean the place, feed and excercise the animals, just do so many things.....you may find by speaking to the local one that they can arrange to waive the adoption fee in exchange for you doing some days of volunteer work there. You should talk to your parents about it...they may think its a good way for you to learn about what your new obligation will take, while helping to do a good thing for your community. And, while your doing it, don't be surprised if you find your new best friend!
How much money does the average American spend in their lifetime?
I'd reckon an average American would spend around $100.00 a day.
There are 2.8 billion people that live on less than $2 a day. Maybe the "average American" that spends $100 a day needs to stop being so selfish.
A sweatshop worker only gets 6 dollars a day, and the average sweatshop worker has about 5 people in that family, or more, so just think about that for a sec.... why don't we stand up for their rights, so they can get some proper food and clothing for once in their lifetime! The average American can get all they want. I come from a very poor family, and imagine what it feels like never to have any normal life, just envying the people around you who throw and rip up dollars just for fun in school. Imagine. Americans need to cut down on being selfish, thank you for pointing that out, whoever wrote that top part.
To the person who wrote this.
How are we being selfish if everything in this country costs a lot more?
ADDENDUM: this is probably way inaccurate. For the average American to spend $100 a day, the average family of four would have to make $146,000 per year. That is not the average salary. The mean household income is more like $46,000 per year... divide that by 3.14 (about the average family size), divide that by 365 days in a year, and the average spending per day would be closer to $40 per day.
ANOTHER VIEW:
Here is something to think about... the question is 'How much money does the AVERAGE American spend per day.' The key word here is AVERAGE, also, they are speaking in the singular, 1 person, not the average family.
So, here is my take on it.... the AVERAGE American makes a little more than $46,000 per year. Which translates to about $884 a week Gross income. Which works out to about a $675 Net income per week. Now that works out to about $96 per day. So, we have to assume that the AVERAGE American spends less than $96 per day. Obviously, the other person saying $168 per day is way too high.
It would be very time consuming to really get an exact answer. You know the AVERAGE American can spend up to $96 per day. But you would also have to consider in how much debt the Average American accumulates per year. You would also have to figure in how much the Average American puts in a Savings account each year. You would also have to consider how much they invest each year. You would also have to figure in the average number of people in an average household, this could dramatically cut down the cost of the Average person. If the Average household is 3 people, then the mortgage, utilities, would be split between 3 people, which would decrease the Average amount of money spent per day.
If it helps, I tallied up all my monthly bills (rent, utilities, food, gas, spending money, etc.), and averaged it out per day. I came up with about $64.00 per day I spend to live. Now, if I lived with someone else and we split the rent and utilities, it would go down to about $47 per day. I would definitely put my lifestyle in the Average American category.
What happens if you feed a puppy senior dog food?
Please don't do this! Puppies need a lot of vitamins and a good healthy start while they are growing and developing. They also need food that will provide more fat and carbs to burn. If they don't get it, they will seem sluggish and won't develop as they should. Senior dog food is made to have a lot of that stripped out because older dogs don't get much exercise and you don't want them to get fat.

Is canned dog food bad for dogs?
No, canned dog food is really good for dogs, but if your dog is reacting badly to the food you may want to note the ingredients to try and see what he is reacting to. You could also change dog food.

Is peppermint safe for a a dog?
Peppermint is safe for dogs, in moderation. It can be used settle a dog's stomach (as with humans). However, avoid feeding your dog peppermint candies (or other food products) that contain xylitol, as it can cause hypoglycemia, which can lead to coma and death.
Possibly. It depends on the leash laws in your city/county, and whether or not an area would be considered "open range" (and, further, whether an open range status would apply to all domestic animals).
If your own carrier is handling your vehicle damages, they will probably research whether billing the homeowner is an option or not. If you're not going through your carrier, you'll need to do that research on your own.
How the loss occurred is important, too. For instance, was it at night? Was the dog sitting in the road, or did it run out between two cars? How fast were you going if it was a residential area? That sort of thing...
It's commendable that you're taking responsibility (trust me, you don't see that a lot in the claims environment), but you should definitely contact your insurance carrier for homeowners coverage.
Handling a claim like this out-of-pocket can be astronomically expensive, especially if you find yourself dealing with an unscrupulous body shop (or vehicle owner, for that matter). You can incur costs not only for the damages, but for supplement or hidden damages and rental.
And, again, there's a possibility that depending on the laws or ordinances in your area, you may not be legally responsible. While you clearly want to accept responsibility, your lawmakers may have determined that folks driving in your neighborhood should exercise more caution, and drive accordingly.
Something to think about...
Good luck!
While I realize that there are different laws in different areas, if the dog wandered in front of the car, I think that the owner should be responsible. I personally own two dogsand treat them as loved members of our family. This means keeping them safe by keeping them in a yard or in the house. Morally, it is the dog's owner who is responsible for the dog's actions and any repercussions.
Of course, legally may be a different matter. We live in the country and there is a leash law out here. The law agrees with me here is Central Texas.
What pills can dogs take to help them sleep?

Will a cat go blind from eating dog food?
Yes, a cat can go blind and develop other health problems if fed nothing but dog food, or fed dog food as the majority of the diet.
If the cat eats dog food instead of cat food, then yes, dog food can seriously malnourish the cat after a period of time. Cats have far more nutritional needs than a dog and dog food doesn't contain these essential nutrients such as Taurine. A small amount of dog food will not harm the cat, but this must NEVER consist as part of cat's daily diet.
Cats cannot synthesize Taurine in their bodies (unlike dogs and most other mammals), so they must get it straight from meat. Animal tissues such as poultry and fish are natually high in taurine. Not enough taurine in the cat's diet can lead to heart problems and blindness.
Can you use a flea shampoo on a nursing dog?

How do you clean dog urine out of a shoe?
first you spray some smelly stuff in the shoe then if that doesn't work put them in the washer
Simply putting them in the washer will NOT work. Trust me I've tried several times - at least if the shoes are cloth. The smell seems to come out of suede and faux leathers fine but even when cloth shoes are washed with bleach and white vinegar the smell remains.
What is the average weight of a female labradoodle?
A healthy Lab will have a distinct waist, and you'll be able to feel the ribs--but not see them. If you can see ribs, she's too skinny. If you can't see a waist, she's too heavy. Purebred show female Labs will typically weigh around 60-65 lbs., but Labs are bred to many different styles, so the actual number of pounds can vary--so going by the waist and ribs is better.
Dog food is made from many different ingredients. It varies between dry food or kibble and canned foods. Most foods include some amount of meat product, chicken, lamb or beef. Some contain more fillers such as corn or wheat than others. Most contain added vitamins and minerals for a balanced diet. A high quality food will have less filler and cost more because of this but your dog will be healthier if you feed it a higher quality food.
