It sounds like we pay the same price for Wellness. I pay around $16 (after taxes) for a small bag.
Nakita has been on Wellness (wet/dry) since I brought her home from the breeder. Until recently, she has been on a mix of dry foods, so I can't really tell you how long a 5 pound bag lasts here. But it does feel like I haven't gone to the pet store in ages!
I feed her probably between 1/5 - 1/4 cup dry a day and some canned food. But remember, she is only 5.05 pounds so she doesn't eat that much at all! Sometimes I feel like I am feeding a mouse rather than a cat!
I just looked at my bag of Wellness and it says an 8 oz. measuring cup = 4.7 oz Wellness dry. So you *wouldn't* be feeding Toby 6 oz (more like 3 oz).
Here is the daily recommended feeding chart for adults cats -
5 pounds - Feed 1/5 cup dry + 1/4 can wet (5.5 oz can)
*OR* 1/3 cup dry
10 pounds- Feed 2/5 cup dry+ 1/2 can wet (5.5 oz can)
*OR* 2/3 dry only
15 pounds - Feed 2/3 cup dry + 3/4 can wet (5.5 oz can)
*OR* 3/4 dry only
SO, unless Toby is over 15 pounds (!) you would be feeding him 2/3 cup of dry food or less!
Hope this helps!
