The detail
One stockist, one price
Of the retailers we track, only Budget Pet Products lists ProBalance, so the price map has one pin on it: Adult Chicken 18kg at $89.00, or $4.94 per kilo on our editorial estimates. Petbarn, Pet Circle, Petstock and PetO are all in our index and none carry the brand. That is most of why ProBalance scores 63 out of 100 for availability.
One stockist removes the usual lever. Black Hawk's Adult Chicken & Rice 20kg sits at five retailers in our index, from $149.00 on PetO subscription to $189.00 on the Petbarn shelf. ProBalance has no spread to shop: the $89.00 either works or it does not. Budget Pet Products does score 88 out of 100 on pricing, the highest of any retailer we score.
What the 18kg bag costs to feed
We hold one ProBalance pack size, the 18kg Adult Chicken, so there is no smaller bag charging a size penalty and no bulk option above it. At $4.94 per kilo it feeds at roughly $1.50 a day for a 15kg adult dog, close to two months of bowls per bag. The panel behind that: 23% protein, 12% fat, chicken meal and cereals leading.
The per-day figure is where the value case gets tested. SavourLife Original Adult Chicken comes in the same 18kg format at $145.00, or $8.06 per kilo, feeding at about $2.00 a day. On the bag the gap is $56.00. In the bowl it is 50 cents. ProBalance takes 51 out of 100 for ingredient quality against SavourLife's 74.
Subscription and delivery at the only stockist
Budget Pet Products advertises auto-delivery discounts, but we hold no member price and no subscription price on the ProBalance line, unlike Black Hawk at Petbarn, where $189.00 becomes $169.00 for members. The $89.00 is simply the everyday number. The retailer runs no price match and scores 60 out of 100 on subscriptions, the lowest of the pet specialists we score.
Delivery adds nothing to it either. Shipping starts at $9.95 and is free above $59.00, so the 18kg bag clears the threshold on its own. There are no stores in the chain, so click and collect is not a fallback. These are editorial estimates rather than quotes, so confirm the live price and postage before ordering.
Cheaper is available, but it costs you the panel
Nothing in our index undercuts ProBalance without scoring below it. Julius runs $2.50 per kilo, Black & Gold $2.25, Baxter's $2.61 and Woofin' Good! $2.72, and those brands take 48, 44, 46 and 50 out of 100 against ProBalance's 54. All four lead their panels with cereals and meat meal. At this end of the shelf, the saving comes out of the ingredient column.
The move that holds quality is sideways, and it can happen in the same cart. Budget Pet Products also lists Black Hawk Adult Chicken & Rice 20kg at $162.00: $8.10 per kilo on that listing, against a reference $169.00 and about $2.10 a day, on a brand scoring 76 out of 100 against ProBalance's 54. On our reference $169.00 pricing that upgrade runs about sixty cents a day, and less again at the $162.00 listing. Prices here are editorial estimates.

Scored on the same 100-point model and priced from the same index, so the comparison is like for like.
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.

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.

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.

Entered and checked by hand
In our index, the best ProBalance value is ProBalance Adult Chicken 18kg at $4.94/kg, cheapest at Budget Pet Products. Online-only retailers like Pet Circle and Budget Pet Products are usually the price-to-beat. Always compare price per kg on the exact product.
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, Ivory Coat, SavourLife on price per kg and cost per day: you may get similar quality for less.
Because only Budget Pet Products lists it among the retailers we track. Petbarn, Pet Circle, Petstock and PetO all appear in our index and all carry Black Hawk, SavourLife or Ivory Coat, but none of them carry ProBalance. That leaves a single editorial estimate, $89.00 for the Adult Chicken 18kg at $4.94 per kilo, and it is also why the brand scores 63 out of 100 for availability.
On our estimates, yes. The retailer ships free above $59.00 and we hold the 18kg Adult Chicken at $89.00, so it clears the threshold on its own and the $9.95 postage floor does not apply to this pack. The chain runs no price match and has no stores, so there is no click and collect alternative. Confirm the live price and postage before ordering.
Our $1.50 a day figure covers the kibble alone, for a roughly 15kg adult dog on the brand's feeding guide. ProBalance scores 51 out of 100 on ingredient quality and a topper is one reason owners pick it, but anything added sits on top of that $1.50 rather than inside it. Once a topper pushes the total past $2.00, SavourLife Original at $2.00 a day is the like-for-like comparison. Not veterinary advice.
