The cheapest bag is not always the cheapest feed.
Key insightA budget food can cost less per kg but need a bigger daily serving — so always check cost per day, not just the sticker price. Our rankings show both so you see the real running cost.

Frequently asked questions
By price per kg, Black & Gold (Black & Gold Adult Dry Dog Food Beef & Vegetables 8kg) is the cheapest in our index at $2.25/kg. But the cheapest bag is not always the cheapest feed — a lower-scoring food can cost less per kg yet need a bigger serving. Compare cost per day too: Black & Gold is lowest on estimated cost per day.
On our standardised sample basket, Aldi is cheapest ($160), with Woolworths and Coles close behind. Pet Circle and Budget Pet Products are usually the price-to-beat on everyday mainstream dry food.
Cheaper foods often have lower ingredient density, so your dog needs a larger serving to get the same nutrition. That narrows or erases the saving. Always compare cost per day, not just sticker price or price per kg, to see the true running cost.
Yes. Online-only retailers like Pet Circle and Budget Pet Products often post the lowest everyday prices, but Petbarn is very competitive on member and Repeat Delivery pricing — with the bonus of the widest range and stores nationwide. Whichever you choose, compare price per kg before buying.
No. Dog Food Reviews is an independent value and comparison resource, not veterinary advice. Prices are illustrative and manually entered for v1 — always confirm the live price with the retailer before buying.
