Is Frontier Pets worth it?
One of the best-sourced foods you can buy in Australia, and the welfare and transparency claims hold up to scrutiny. Just go in clear-eyed about cost: this is a premium you pay for ethics and convenience, not a value pick, so it suits owners who can afford to feed it properly rather than stretch it.

Better-value alternatives to Frontier Pets
Super-premium · Strong
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.
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.
Big Dog
Premium · Strong
One of the better complete raw diets you can buy in Australia, with ingredient quality that genuinely earns its keep. The score sits where it does because raw is dearer to feed and asks more of you day to day, not because there's anything wrong with the food. Buy it if you're set up for raw and prepared to handle it properly.
