How much does The Farmer's Dog cost per day and per month?

Estimates for healthy dogs at ideal weight. Ask your vet; weigh monthly and adjust. How we calculate
By dog size
What does it cost by dog size?
Estimated needs rise from 295 kcal a day for a 10 lb adult to 1,489 kcal for a 60 lb active adult. Those are calorie estimates, not quoted feeding amounts or prices.
The Farmer's Dog does not publish an open pack price or Turkey label calories, so grams and monthly costs cannot be calculated here. For a puppy's feeding amount, ask your vet.
Dog size helps set calorie needs; the quiz supplies the price.

How does the starting price compare?
For the same 30 lb adult, JustFoodForDogs Beef & Russet Potato works out to $12.16 a day at the one-time price listed on the JustFoodForDogs store on October 21, 2026.
That is a calorie-based estimate for this dog. The Farmer's Dog's advertised starting figure is not, so the two cannot establish which costs less for your dog. Compare the quote with prices for the same calorie allowance.

Small to large
By the size of the dog
Adult dogs, neutered, calm walks of 1–3 hours. Where the brand shows no price, the column shows a similar brand with an open price.
| Dog | kcal a day | JustFoodForDogs, price (similar, open price) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 lb | 327 | $5.34 $162/mo |
| 30 lb | 744 | $12.16 $370/mo |

| 70 lb | 1,405 | $22.95 $698/mo |
What moves the price
What changes the daily cost?
Weight, activity and neutering affect the calorie estimate. For the 30 lb adult, the methods give a range of 694–794 kcal a day rather than one fixed requirement.
Recipe calorie density then determines the grams needed: denser food means fewer grams for the same calories. The first-box discount changes the initial payment, not the dog's calorie needs.
Calorie needs and recipe density determine portions; introductory discounts affect only the initial cost.

What do similar foods cost monthly?
Nom Nom Beef Mash comes to an estimated $15.60 a day, or $474 a month, for the same dog at the PetSmart shelf price listed on October 21, 2026. This is not Nom Nom's subscription price.
The We Feed Raw row uses the brand's 2–3% of body weight rule, not a calorie calculation or veterinary norm. Keep it separate from the calorie-based cooked-food rows when comparing alternatives.
Shelf prices, subscription quotes and body-weight estimates are different comparison bases.
| Brand and recipe | Type | Grams a day | Per day | Per month | Price basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| We Feed Raw Beef | Raw | 272–408 g* | $5.33–8.00 | $162–243 | Lowest plan price: “Plans start at $8.89/pound” |

By the brand’s 2–3% of body weight rule: no calorie figure on the label, not comparable with the calorie-based rows.
How the numbers are made
How are these estimates calculated?
Calories use FEDIAF, AAHA and WSAVA formulas; grams use label calories, and costs use the dated prices shown, with 30.4 days per month.
These are starting estimates: ask your vet about your dog's needs, weigh your dog monthly and adjust the amount; the calculation method explains the ranges.
Use the estimates for budgeting, then adjust feeding to your dog's needs.
