Cost Case Study, Dec 8th, 2025

Why Bully Max Costs Less

Dog owners often compare dog foods by bag price or cost per pound. But that number is misleading. What actually determines cost is how long the bag lasts, how many meals it provides, and how much you spend per day or per month to keep your dog fed.

Below is a simplified, high level comparison focusing only on the real expenses. You can also compare your dog foods here using our full side by side comparison tool.

High Level Cost Comparison

The Hard Cost Numbers: What They Actually Mean

Bully Max has the lowest cost per day

At $1.62 per day, Bully Max beats every major competitor:

• Purina Pro Plan costs 62 percent more
• Blue Buffalo costs 30 percent more
• Taste of the Wild costs 20 percent more
• Orijen costs 71 percent more
• Royal Canin costs 182 percent more

Bully Max bags last longer

A bag lasts 28 days, compared to:

• 20 days for Purina Pro Plan
• 20 days for Blue Buffalo
• 19 days for Hill’s
• 17.5 days for Eukanuba and Royal Canin

Some dog owners think Bully Max is “premium priced,” but the data shows you actually spend less per month feeding it.

More meals per bag = lower real cost

Bully Max provides:

• 40 percent more meals than Purina Pro Plan
• 12 percent more meals than Orijen
• 40 percent more meals than Blue Buffalo

The math is simple:
Higher calories per cup = fewer cups needed = fewer bags purchased.

Why Bully Max Ends Up Cheaper

There are three reasons Bully Max wins on real cost:

1. Higher calories per cup reduce daily feeding volume

Bully Max: 535 calories per cup
Competitors: 330 to 410 calories per cup

That is 25 to 40 percent higher caloric density.

2. Zero fillers means every cup is real nutrition

Most competing brands rely on fillers like:

• Corn
• Soy
• Wheat
• Peas
• Lentils
• Potato byproducts

These ingredients bulk up the kibble but do not fuel the dog.
Your dog eats more, and you spend more.

3. Higher nutrient density means your dog gets more out of every bite

Below is the nutrient density comparison, now with a Nutrient Density Rating included.

Nutritional Efficiency Comparison

What this means for the customer

Higher nutrient density means:

• Better absorption
• Longer lasting energy
• Smaller feeding amounts
• Better muscle retention
• Better coat, digestion, and performance

This is why dogs stay full longer on Bully Max and require fewer meals.

The Bottom Line

Even though Bully Max is a premium food with real meat, no corn, no soy, no fillers, no byproducts, and zero recalls, it still:

• Costs less per day
• Costs less per month
• Provides more meals per bag
• Lasts longer
• Delivers more calories per cup
• Has one of the highest nutrient density ratings
• Requires less feeding volume
• Gives your dog higher quality nutrition

Bully Max does not cost more.
It costs less, because you feed less.
