Freeze Dried Dog Food: Real Cost Per Day (All Brands Compared)
Don't compare bag prices — compare cost per feeding day. We calculated the real daily cost for 11 brands.
The biggest mistake dog owners make when comparing freeze dried food is looking at the bag price. A $135 bag of Ziwi Peak might actually be cheaper per day than a $32 bag of Stella & Chewy's.
This is because freeze dried and air-dried foods have different concentration levels. Air-dried Ziwi retains more moisture, so you feed less per meal. Freeze dried Stella & Chewy's is lighter but you serve more volume.
We calculated approximate cost per day for a 30 lb dog across all 11 brands we track:
• Honest Kitchen: ~$2.50/day (cheapest) • Nature's Logic: ~$3.00/day • Stella & Chewy's: ~$3.50/day • Open Farm: ~$4.00/day • Vital Essentials: ~$4.50/day • Ziwi Peak: ~$5.00/day
