Bella & Duke price: what raw feeding really costs per day

The advertised price: from £1.18 a day

Bella & Duke’s lowest advertised price is £1.18 a day, based on a 5–10 kg, 4-year-old dog on Adult Premium Complete with an 8 kg delivery. That’s a real price, but it’s for a small adult dog on the standard range with a fairly large delivery. Most dogs will cost more.

Bella & Duke doesn’t publish a price list by weight, so we can’t give you a price per kilo or per box. To see your own price, start a plan and enter your dog’s age, weight and activity: Bella & Duke works out the daily portion and quotes from there.

All About Dog Food’s figures

All About Dog Food (AADF), the independent UK rating site, publishes its own per-day prices, and they’re higher than Bella & Duke’s headline figure. AADF lists £2.02 a day for Adult Complete Premium and an average of £2.52 a day across Bella & Duke’s products.

The difference isn’t a contradiction. AADF prices every food for its own reference dog, so it can compare brands on the same basis, while Bella & Duke quotes its lowest price for a smaller dog. AADF’s average also covers all the products it lists, not just the standard adult food. Neither figure is your price; both are useful as a range to expect.

What changes your price

Four things move your Bella & Duke price: your dog’s size, how active it is, which range you choose and the size of each delivery. Size matters most, because raw food is portioned by body weight.

Your dog’s size

The Royal Kennel Club’s rough guide is that dogs eat 2%–3% of their body weight in raw food a day. Double the dog’s weight and you roughly double the food, and the price follows. As an illustration only:

A starting point, not veterinary advice. Ask your vet before changing your dog's diet, especially for puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, or dogs with a health condition.

Bella & Duke sets its own portions from your dog’s details, so its numbers may differ from this guide. Our raw feeding calculator gives a daily amount for your dog using the same Kennel Club guide.

How active your dog is

The Kennel Club notes that active dogs need to eat more. A young, busy dog generally needs more than a quiet older dog of the same weight, and more food means a higher price. Bella & Duke also has Working Dog recipes for very active dogs.

The range you choose

Bella & Duke’s ranges are Adult Premium Complete, Puppy, Senior, Working Dog, Working Puppy, Superfood and Pure Meat + Bone. The headline price is for Adult Premium Complete. Bella & Duke doesn’t publish range-by-range prices, so if your dog needs the Puppy, Senior or Working Dog range, check how your quote changes.

How much you order at once

The advertised price assumes a 5–10 kg, 4-year-old dog on Adult Premium Complete with an 8 kg delivery. Subscription prices often work out differently for bigger, less frequent deliveries than for smaller, more frequent ones, so when you get your quote, try a couple of delivery sizes and see how the price per day changes. The catch is freezer space: a bigger delivery has to fit in your freezer in one go.

Where you live

Delivery is free to the UK mainland, but there are surcharges for Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands. If you’re outside the mainland, the surcharge is part of your real price.

The smallest box: 4 kg

The smallest Bella & Duke delivery is 4 kg. For a small dog that can last a good while; for a big dog it won’t go far, so you’ll likely want a larger box or more frequent deliveries.

As a rough illustration, a 10 kg dog eating 200 g–300 g a day would get through 4 kg in about 13–20 days. Your dog’s real portion comes from Bella & Duke’s plan, not this sum. Our Bella & Duke delivery guide covers how boxes arrive and how to plan freezer space.

What the friend code does to your first three boxes

With a friend code, new households get 40% off the first box, 40% off the second and 20% off the third, each up to a cap. It covers frozen food on your first three orders only; treats and extras are full price.

The caps only matter for large boxes. On boxes one and two, the cap starts to bite once a box costs more than £134.70; on box three, above £134.75. Below that, you simply get the full percentage off. To see your own numbers, enter the box price Bella & Duke quotes you in our Bella & Duke discount calculator.

The friend code’s cap on box two is higher than the public homepage offer’s, which is why it usually saves more over three boxes. Our Bella & Duke discount code page has the code and the full conditions.

New UK customers only: your household must never have had a Bella & Duke account or delivery. Frozen food on your first three orders only, and it can't be combined with another offer.

After the third box

From your fourth frozen-food order, you pay the full price. That’s the number that matters for your budget, so make a note of the undiscounted box price when you get your quote, and work out what it means per month. If it’s more than you’re comfortable with, it’s better to know before you start than after your dog has settled on the food.

You aren’t tied in: there’s no minimum order or period. If you decide raw isn’t for you after the discounted boxes, you can stop, as long as you make the change more than 48 hours before the next delivery. Bear in mind that a friend code is only for households that have never had a Bella & Duke account or delivery, so you can’t use one again if you come back later.

Bella & Duke’s price compared with other brands

Bella & Duke costs more than dry food and air-dried food on the headline figures we have. Those figures are for different example dogs, so they show the gap in broad terms, not exactly.

Where the others win: Tails.com is a tailored dry food and is far cheaper per day if its reported figure is right; it’s also easier to store. Pure Pet Food advertises from 89p a day for a small dog and, as an air-dried food, shouldn’t need freezer space. If budget comes first, those are honest alternatives. Our Bella & Duke vs Tails.com and raw vs kibble pages go into the trade-off.

For other fresh and raw brands we don’t have verified per-day prices, so the fair comparison is a quote for your own dog from each. Their new-customer offers are on our raw dog food offers page, and our raw dog food cost per day guide covers budgeting in general.

Ways to keep the cost down

You can’t change your dog’s size, but a few general habits help with any subscription food. None of these is a Bella & Duke rule; check how your own quote changes.

• Compare delivery sizes. Try a bigger, less frequent delivery and a smaller, more frequent one when you get your quote, and see which works out cheaper per day for the freezer space you have.
• Get the portion right. Keep your dog’s weight up to date in your plan. Overfeeding costs money as well as waistline, and treats count towards the day’s food.
• Use the best new-customer offer you qualify for. Only one applies, so compare the friend code with the others before you sign up.
• Pause rather than waste. There’s no minimum order or period. If you’re away, change your delivery more than 48 hours before it’s due. See how to pause or cancel Bella & Duke.
• Treats are extra. The friend discount covers frozen food only, so add treats when you need them rather than by default.

Is Bella & Duke worth the price?

For us, yes, but it’s a premium way to feed a dog and it won’t be worth it for every household. If the price would stretch your budget, a good dry food is a perfectly reasonable choice.
