Dog Food Costs in Australia 2025
Food is typically the second or third largest ongoing cost of dog ownership after vet care or insurance. The quality and type of food you choose has both health and cost implications.
Diet Options and Costs
- Standard dry food: The most economical option — budget brands from $1.20/day for small dogs to $5+/day for large breeds
- Premium dry food: Higher protein, fewer fillers — worth considering for dogs with food sensitivities
- Mixed dry and wet: A popular middle ground — wet food adds palatability and hydration
- Fresh/refrigerated food: Growing category (Lyka, Scratch, etc.) — convenient but significantly more expensive
Estimates based on typical 2025 Australian pet food pricing. Brand choice significantly affects costs.
