Buying raw dog food in bulk is one of the most practical ways to manage costs in Edmonton. Here is what you need to know about 40LB boxes and freezer planning.
Buying raw dog food in bulk is one of the most practical ways to manage costs and ensure you never run out. Here is what Edmonton dog owners should know about buying in larger quantities.
Raw dog food does not have the same long shelf life as kibble, but it freezes well. Buying in bulk, typically in 40LB boxes, means fewer orders, less packaging, and a lower cost per pound compared to buying small quantities more frequently. For owners feeding larger dogs or multiple dogs, it is often the most economical approach. Our guide on raw dog food for multiple dogs in Edmonton covers the logistics of feeding several dogs at once.
All Hound and Bone products are sold as 40LB boxes. Each box contains 1LB tubes of your chosen raw blend, which makes portioning straightforward regardless of the size of your dog. A 40LB box represents a meaningful supply for most dogs, lasting anywhere from a few weeks for a large breed to several months for a small dog.
Before ordering in bulk, it helps to have a sense of how much freezer space you have available. A 40LB box takes up a moderate amount of chest freezer or upright freezer space. Our guide on how to store raw dog food in the freezer covers everything you need to know about temperature management and rotation. Many committed raw feeders keep a dedicated chest freezer for dog food, which makes bulk buying much more manageable.
If you want the variety of multiple proteins without committing to a full 40LB box of each, the Hound and Bone bundle builder lets you mix and match individual 1LB tubes across different flavours. This is a practical option for owners who like rotating proteins or who are still figuring out which blends their dog prefers.
Orders over $120 qualify for free delivery across Edmonton and surrounding communities. Buying a full 40LB box typically meets or exceeds this threshold, making bulk buying even more practical for local customers. Browse our full range to find the right blend and place your order.
