Estimated price per kilo across the range. Compare this figure rather than the sticker on the bag: pack sizes differ, and so does how far a kilo goes.

The detail
Where Royal Canin is cheapest on our estimates
Royal Canin's brand record lists five specialist stockists: Pet Circle, Petbarn, Petstock, Budget Pet Products and PETO. Only four carry a priced line in our data. On the Medium Adult 15kg bag, Pet Circle holds the floor at $152.00, Budget Pet Products follows at $154.00 and Petbarn lists $175.00. PETO stocks the brand, but we hold no priced Royal Canin bag for it.
Pet Circle also holds the floor on the Gastrointestinal 15kg vet diet at $209.00, ahead of Petstock at $225.00 and Petbarn at $235.00. That is worth noting, because Pet Circle scores 80 on pricing against Budget Pet Products' 88 and is often beaten on mainstream lines. On Royal Canin it wins both bags. Prices are editorial estimates.
Bag-size economics: there is no ladder to climb
Both Royal Canin lines we price come in a single 15kg bag, so there is no larger pack to buy into. Medium Adult sits at $10.60 per kg and about $2.60 a day for a 15kg adult dog. The Gastrointestinal vet diet sits at $14.60 per kg and about $3.60 a day, a $1.00 daily gap, or near $365.00 across a year.
The lowest per-kg figure we hold on the brand is $9.60, from Pet Circle's $144.00 autoship price on Medium Adult, which scales the $2.60 daily estimate down to about $2.35 on the same feeding assumption. Every price we hold, $144.00 to $235.00, clears the free shipping thresholds of $49.00 at Pet Circle, Petbarn and Petstock and $59.00 at Budget Pet Products, so freight does not reorder the list. Every figure here is an editorial estimate.
Member and autoship timing at the retailers that stock it
Autoship takes Pet Circle's Medium Adult from $152.00 to $144.00, an $8.00 saving a bag, and it is the only subscription price we hold on any Royal Canin line: the Gastrointestinal bag carries its $209.00 everyday price alone. Petbarn member pricing cuts $16.00 from both bags, to $159.00 and $219.00, and Petbarn scores 86 on subscription against Pet Circle's 84.
Even then, Petbarn's $159.00 member price on Medium Adult sits above Pet Circle's $152.00 everyday price and Budget Pet Products' $154.00. Petbarn and Petstock price match while Pet Circle and Budget Pet Products do not, so a shopper who wants a store nearby has a route to close the gap on the online listings. Budget Pet Products records no member price and scores 60 on subscription. All prices are editorial estimates, so check the live listing before you buy.
Cheaper swaps that are not a quality downgrade
Royal Canin Medium Adult rates 78, with maize and rice heading the panel, 25 per cent protein and 14 per cent fat, at $10.60 per kg. Black Hawk Adult Chicken & Rice 20kg rates 85, with chicken first, 26 per cent protein and 16 per cent fat, at $8.45 per kg and about $2.10 a day. That is $0.50 a day less on a higher-scored bag.
SavourLife Grain Free Adult Lamb 15kg is the other honest swap: rated 84, lamb first, 28 per cent protein, $9.93 per kg and about $2.30 a day. Hill's Science Diet, listed as a Royal Canin alternative, is not the saving: its Adult Chicken 12kg runs $11.58 per kg and $2.70 a day at a rating of 77. The Gastrointestinal bag has no cheaper equivalent we price, and that swap is a vet conversation. Not veterinary advice.
The alternatives
Cheaper alternatives to Royal Canin
Scored on the same 100-point model and priced from the same index, so the comparison is like for like.
Hill's Science Diet
Super-premium · Average
Strong for prescription and therapeutic needs, and that's genuinely where it belongs. For everyday feeding it's poor value: corn- and by-product-led panels at a vet-clinic price, with named-meat premium brands offering a better ingredient panel for the money. Don't default to it for a healthy dog without checking the cost per kg.

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.

Prime100
Premium · Good
A capable single-protein option for elimination diets, and the labels are honest. But the rolls especially carry a steep price per kg for what is a deliberately simple recipe, and the range spread across formats muddies value: price the dry against the rolls per serve before you settle on one.

Entered and checked by hand
In our index, the best Royal Canin value is Royal Canin Medium Adult 15kg at $10.60/kg, cheapest at Pet Circle. 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 Hill's Science Diet, Black Hawk, Prime100 on price per kg and cost per day: you may get similar quality for less.
On our editorial estimates the Gastrointestinal 15kg lists at $219.00 against $159.00 for the Medium Adult 15kg, which is $14.60 per kg versus $10.60, or about $3.60 a day against $2.60 for a 15kg adult dog. It rates 80 against the Medium Adult's 78. It is a therapeutic diet, so it is bought on vet advice rather than on price. Not veterinary advice.
We cannot rank it. PETO is one of the five specialist stockists on Royal Canin's brand record, and it carries a low-price guarantee, but we hold no priced Royal Canin line for it, so it does not appear in the price table. The cheapest Royal Canin figures we can show are Pet Circle's $152.00 on Medium Adult and $209.00 on Gastrointestinal.
Not on the everyday lines. Royal Canin scores 68 overall, but value sits at 54 and ingredients at 60; nutrition at 78 and availability at 80 are what carry it. At $10.60 per kg the Medium Adult is dearer than Black Hawk's $8.45 and SavourLife's $9.93, and both of those bags rate higher, at 85 and 84. The therapeutic range is where the price is easier to explain.
