A kilo tells you how much food you’re buying. Calories help show how much energy is in it. Compare the cost of providing the same 1,000 calories.
01
Start with energy.
Different recipes deliver different calories per gram. The same energy can come from different portion sizes.
02
Compare the cost.
Price per kilo ÷ calories per kilo × 1,000. One clear measure, with the pack price and discount visible.
03
Choose their food.
Cost is one part of the decision. Ingredients, suitability and a complete diet matter too.

Cost per 1,000 kcal: not calculated
The official UAE page lists energy as “370” without an explicit calorie unit or weight basis in the accessible nutrition text. Cost per 1,000 kcal is withheld until that basis is confirmed.
Nudog is not the lowest-cost option in every comparison. Pack size, current promotions and repeat discounts can materially change the result. Cold pressed and extruded foods are shown separately by their format, without treating the recipes as identical.
Does energy-dense mean nutrient-dense?
Energy density means calories per gram. Nutrient density concerns nutrients relative to food weight or energy. A higher calorie figure alone does not demonstrate better nutrition.
How should I use these figures?
Compare food cost at the same energy amount, then check the recipe’s ingredients, life-stage suitability and feeding instructions. Portion needs vary with the dog. Treats and extras also contribute calories.
