Pet food budget
Pet food cost = daily amount consumed × price per unit (cup, can, or scoop) × number of days. Choose 30 days for a monthly estimate or 365 for an annual budget line.
Waste, treats, and prescription diets are not included unless you fold them into the daily amount or price. Compare wet vs dry by using the unit you actually buy.
Example: 2 cups/day at $0.45/cup → $0.90/day → about $27/month or $328/year.
Common questions
Should I include treats?
Add treat calories and cost separately, or increase the daily amount to approximate total feeding spend.
Does this recommend how much to feed?
No. Enter the amount you actually feed. Portion guidance belongs on the food label and from your vet.
How much should I budget for cat food?
Enter daily cans or cups and your per-unit price — wet food is often priced per can, dry kibble per cup. Example: 1.5 cans/day at $1.10/can ≈ $49.50/month.
Should I use cans or cups?
Use whichever unit matches how you buy food — cans for wet, cups for dry kibble.
