Part of the Greencross group. Leaps & Bounds is its Australian-made house brand, sitting alongside national brands so shoppers can pick on price-per-kg and ingredients. A genuinely strong all-round retailer.

Retailer-owned / house-promoted

Petbarn's house brands.

These ranges are owned or exclusively promoted by Petbarn. They're often an affordable everyday option, sitting alongside national brands on the same shelf. Comparing them on price per kg and ingredients is the best way to find the right value for your dog.

  • Leaps & BoundsPetbarn's Australian-made house brand

    Leaps & Bounds is Petbarn's own private-label (house) brand — affordable, Australian-made and stocked in every store. It's a budget everyday option rather than a premium one: the recipes use more grain and cereal than the top-scoring brands, and as a retailer-owned label there's a little less published sourcing detail. Reasonable value if you're shopping at Petbarn — just compare price-per-kg with the national brands sitting on the same shelf.

Range

Key brands stocked at Petbarn.

Popular bags carried here include Black Hawk Adult Chicken & Rice 20kg, Black Hawk Grain Free Adult Chicken 15kg, SavourLife Grain Free Adult Lamb 15kg. Prices vary by retailer, so always check price per kg on the size you actually buy.

Other strong retailers to compare with Petbarn

Many carry the same brands, so it's always worth a price-per-kg check. These are the other online stores we'd weigh up alongside Petbarn.

Repeat delivery

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.

Repeat delivery

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.

Repeat delivery

My Pet Warehouse is fine, but rarely the best answer. Its smaller store network, thinner range and patchy regional delivery mean it's hard to justify over Petbarn, which beats it on range and availability while staying competitive on price. Worth a per-kg check only if you happen to live near one of its stores.
