Pet food prices in Pakistan depend mostly on whether the brand is made locally or imported, and on the bag size. These are typical retail prices seen at large Pakistani online pet stores, checked in October 2026 and rounded. Sale prices, the rupee and import costs change them often, so treat them as a guide and compare before you buy.

What a month of food costs
Feeding amounts vary by brand, age and activity, so check the chart on the bag. As a rough guide, on dry food only:
| Pet | Eats about | Budget food | Mid-range | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cat, 4 kg | 1.8 kg a month | Rs 1,200 – 2,000 | Rs 3,100 – 4,500 | Rs 4,100 – 6,300 |
| Small dog, 8 kg | 4 kg a month | Rs 1,600 – 3,000 | Rs 4,600 – 5,200 | Rs 5,600 – 7,000 |
| Medium dog, 20 kg | 9 kg a month | Rs 3,600 – 6,800 | Rs 10,400 – 11,700 | Rs 12,600 – 15,800 |
| Large dog, 35 kg | 14 kg a month | Rs 5,600 – 10,500 | Rs 16,100 – 18,200 | Rs 19,600 – 24,500 |
Premium dog food is priced here at big-bag rates (about Rs 1,400 – 1,750 per kg). Wet food, treats and prescription diets add to these amounts.
Why price per kg matters
Always divide the price by the kilograms to compare. A cheaper food can cost more per month if your pet needs to eat a lot more of it, because it has less energy per bowl. Premium foods are usually more concentrated, so the daily portion is smaller.
How to save without cutting quality
- Buy the biggest bag your pet can finish within about 6 weeks of opening, and keep it sealed and dry.
- Change food slowly over 7 days to avoid upset stomachs; switching brands often wastes money.
- Feed by weight, not by eye. Overfeeding is the most common way people overspend, and it makes pets overweight.
- Check the expiry date and that the bag is sealed; buy from clinics and trusted sellers to avoid fakes.
- Ask your vet before switching to the cheapest food for a puppy, kitten, senior or a pet with a health problem.
