The cheapest bag is not always the cheapest feed.
A budget food can cost less per kg but need a bigger serving — so always check cost per day, not just the sticker price.

Cheapest online retailers
Ranked by our standardised sample basket.
Aldi
Online pet store
Aldi is one of the cheapest places to grab a bag, but that's all it is — two house brands, no premium or prescription options, mostly in-store, no subscription and thin sourcing detail. It's an emergency convenience buy, not a diet you can plan around. For genuine choice, prescription support and competitive Repeat Delivery value, a specialist like Petbarn does far more.
Sample basket
$160
Woolworths
Online pet store
Woolworths is convenient and cheap for an entry-level bag, but the aisle is narrow, dominated by Baxter's, and short on premium and prescription choice, with no pet subscription and thin sourcing detail. It's an emergency top-up, not a diet plan. For real range, prescription support and strong Repeat Delivery value, a specialist like Petbarn is where a dog's regular food belongs.
Sample basket
$163
Coles
Online pet store
Coles is fine for grabbing a cheap bag when you're already doing the groceries, but the dog-food aisle is narrow, house-brand-heavy and offers almost nothing in premium or prescription. With no pet subscription and thin sourcing transparency, it's a top-up option, not a place to build a diet. For genuine range, prescription support and competitive Repeat Delivery value, a specialist like Petbarn is the better home for your dog's regular food.

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. Budget Pet Products and Pet Circle 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 Budget Pet Products and Pet Circle often win on the very lowest everyday price, 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. PetReviews 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.
