Lyka 87/100
Prime100 78/100
Lyka wins this head to head overall, taking ingredients, nutrition, transparency and customer sentiment. Prime100 answers where it counts for many owners: it wins the value pillar, wins availability with wide retail stocking, and its single-protein rolls are widely used for elimination-style feeding. It comes down to a premium fresh subscription against a simpler specialist you can buy in-store.

Key differences
Choose Lyka or Prime100?
Choose Lyka if
- You want a human-grade, gently cooked fresh diet with a fuller ingredient and nutrient panel
- Transparency matters: Lyka publishes detailed panels and sourcing and takes that pillar here
- You would rather have portions calculated to your dog than slice rolls by eye
- You are comfortable with a subscription and have the freezer space for frozen deliveries
Choose Prime100 if
- You are running an elimination-style feeding plan with your vet and want single named proteins that are easy to buy
- You want to grab food at Petbarn, Petstock or Pet Circle rather than wait on a frozen delivery
- Everyday value matters: Prime100 wins the value pillar in this pairing
- You want one simple named protein, with a dry format that undercuts the rolls per serve
What each costs to feed
Lyka
$2.68–$2.98
per day · editorial estimate · ~15kg adult dog
Prime100
$3.20–$4.40
per day · editorial estimate · ~15kg adult dog
These are editorial estimates only, built from illustrative pricing and each brand's published feeding guide for a ~15kg adult dog. Formats feed very differently (fresh food and rolls are served in larger daily weights than dry or air-dried food), so compare cost per day rather than price per kg, and confirm live pricing before you buy. Feeding amounts vary by dog; this is not veterinary advice.
Frequently asked questions
Prime100 wins our value pillar 72 to 66. On per-day editorial estimates for a ~15kg dog the picture is mixed: Lyka's bowls sit at roughly $2.68 to $2.98 a day, while Prime100 spans about $3.20 a day on the SK-D dry up to $4.40 on the SLR rolls, which carry a premium per kg for a deliberately simple recipe. Value scoring also weighs retail discounting and format economics, not just cost per day. These are editorial estimates; confirm live prices before you buy.
Prime100 is built around it: single named proteins across the rolls and dry lines, clear ingredient lists, and easy retail availability for trialling one protein at a time. Lyka's six recipes are also single protein, including novel kangaroo and goat options, if you would rather run a fresh diet. Elimination-style feeding should be planned and reviewed with your vet; this is not veterinary advice.
Yes, both are made in Australia. Lyka cooks in its own Sydney and Dandenong South kitchens and cites 85-95% Australian sourcing; Prime100 is Australian made with clear ingredient lists across its rolls, dry and air-dried ranges.
Lyka, on our scores: ingredient quality 90 to 83 and nutrition 88 to 79. Prime100 keeps recipes deliberately simple and limited-ingredient, which is exactly the point for sensitive dogs, but the overall panel reads less premium than Lyka's human-grade bowls, and the rolls carry a premium per kg for that simplicity.
Prime100 wins availability 73 to 62 in our index: it is stocked at Petbarn, Petstock, Pet Circle and Budget Pet Products. Lyka is subscription only, delivered frozen direct from lyka.com.au, so there is nothing to grab off a shelf.
