Find the best value dog food.

Petbarn is a genuine all-rounder: the widest range in the country, stores nationwide, strong delivery and competitive member and Repeat Delivery pricing. With so much choice on the shelf, comparing price-per-kg across its house brand and the national brands it also stocks — Black Hawk, SavourLife and Prime100 — is the simplest way to find your best-value match.

Pet Circle is a strong online experience with a genuinely deep premium catalogue, but it trades on premium positioning rather than the lowest per-kg price. On mainstream brands you can frequently do better elsewhere — including Petbarn with member pricing or Repeat Delivery — and you lose the option of a store when you need advice or a return. Check the per-kg price before you assume the polished site means the best value.

Budget Pet Products is worth a look only if you buy a single mainstream dry-food line in bulk and price per kg is the one thing you care about. The narrow premium and prescription range, basic delivery and bare-bones subscription mean it can't carry a whole basket. For range, prescription support and stores to fall back on, Petbarn is the more complete choice.

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.

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.

The ingredients are excellent, but the price per kg is steep enough that value drags the whole score down — you're paying a hefty premium for the air-dried format and small bags. Work out the cost per day before committing; on anything bigger than a small dog it gets expensive fast.

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.

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.

Worth it for genuine therapeutic and prescription needs, where the research is unmatched. For everyday feeding it's hard to justify: by-product- and grain-led panels at a top-tier price per kg, where much of what you're buying is the vet-clinic positioning. Compare cost per day against named-meat premium rivals before defaulting to it.
