The detail
Where Baxter's is sold, and for how much
Baxter's is a Woolworths house brand, sold exclusively through Woolworths, so the cheapest-retailer question answers itself. None of the specialist or online retailers we track carries it. The one product in our index, Baxter's Dry Dog Food Chicken & Vegetables 18kg, sits at $47 AUD at Woolworths on our editorial estimates, which works out at $2.61 per kg of kibble.
Exclusivity removes the levers price shoppers normally pull. Woolworths shows no price matching in our data, and there is no second stockist to play it off against, so $47 is effectively the market. For a roughly 15kg adult dog that bag feeds at an estimated $1.20 a day, against a product rating of 50 out of 100 and a Baxter's brand score of 46.
One bag size, one set of economics
Bag-size economics on Baxter's are unusually simple, because our index holds exactly one pack: the 18kg Chicken & Vegetables at an estimated $47, or $2.61 per kg. There is no small bag to trial and no larger bag that unlocks a better rate. At an estimated $1.20 a day for a 15kg adult dog, one bag covers roughly 39 days of feeding.
That flat structure matters when you compare formats. On the same estimates, IGA's Black & Gold manages $2.25 per kg from a small 8kg bag, so Baxter's 18kg is not buying you a bulk discount, it is simply the only size on offer. What you are paying $2.61 per kg for is a cereal-led panel: 18 per cent protein, 10 per cent fat, cereals and meat meal first.
No autoship lever, just the grocery threshold
There is no subscription timing to work with here. Woolworths offers no pet-specific subscription or autoship in our data, so the set-and-forget discounts that soften prices elsewhere, like Petbarn's Repeat Delivery or online autoship, never touch Baxter's, because those retailers do not stock it. The only delivery economics are grocery ones: from about $5, free once an order clears $100.
That $100 threshold is the one piece of timing worth doing on purpose. A $5 delivery fee on a solo $47 bag adds roughly ten per cent to its effective price, enough to erase the gap to a cheaper rival. Fold the bag into the weekly shop you were already making, or collect in store, and the $2.61 per kg estimate stands.
Cheaper rivals, and the 80 cent step up
If price is the whole reason you are here, Aldi's Julius 18kg beats Baxter's on both counts on our editorial estimates: $45, or $2.50 per kg and about $1.10 a day, rating 54 out of 100 against 50. Coles' Woofin' Good! 18kg is dearer per kilo at $2.72 but feeds at the same estimated $1.20 a day, with 20 per cent protein and a 56 rating.
The more interesting maths is the step up. SavourLife's 18kg estimates at $145, steep next to $47, but per day the gap is 80 cents: about $2.00 against $1.20. For that you move from a brand scoring 46 overall to one scoring 75, with 26 per cent protein and an 83-rated bag. Black Hawk's 20kg runs an estimated $2.10 a day and rates 85.

Black Hawk
Premium · Good
Fine on a discounted big bag if you choose a named-meat-first recipe, but don't assume the whole range is equal: the cheaper lines pad the panel with grain and rice, and a chunk of the price is reach and marketing rather than ingredients. Compare the specific formula on cost per kg against SavourLife and Ivory Coat.

SavourLife
Premium · Good
Fair value and the rescue donations are real, not greenwash: but the food itself is good rather than exceptional, with mid-premium panels and a narrow range. Buy it because the per-kg value stacks up, not because the cause makes the ingredients better than they are.

Ivory Coat
Premium · Good
A competent grain-free all-rounder, but it's mid-pack on every measure and now sits inside a big multi-brand portfolio where recipes have moved with ownership. Fine if the price is right on the day: just don't expect it to out-spec a more focused independent brand.

Online-only stores like Pet Circle and Budget Pet Products often post the lowest everyday prices, while Petbarn is very competitive on member and Repeat Delivery pricing, with the bonus of stores nationwide. Compare price per kg whichever way you buy.
Buy the largest bag size you'll use before it goes stale, use subscription or autoship pricing where available, and compare price per kg rather than sticker price. The cheapest bag isn't always the cheapest feed once serving size is factored in.
If you're price-shopping, compare Black Hawk, SavourLife, Ivory Coat on price per kg and cost per day: you may get similar quality for less.
Baxter's is Woolworths' own house brand, so it is stocked in every Woolworths and nowhere else we track. That is convenient with the weekly shop, but it means no retailer competes on its price, and its transparency score of 42 out of 100 partly reflects how little is published about the range behind the label. All prices here are editorial estimates.
No. The Baxter's 18kg estimates at $2.61 per kg, while IGA's Black & Gold 8kg works out at $2.25 per kg and Aldi's Julius 18kg at $2.50 per kg on the same editorial estimates. Baxter's is among the cheapest feeds we track at about $1.20 a day, but it is not the floor.
On our editorial estimates, a roughly 15kg adult dog feeds from the 18kg Chicken & Vegetables bag at about $1.20 a day, so a $47 bag covers around 39 days, a little over five weeks. Smaller dogs will stretch it further and larger dogs will empty it faster. Portion by the on-pack feeding guide; this is not veterinary advice.
