Bugsy's Air-Dried Feeding Guide
Bugsy's Air-Dried Feeding Guide
A practical guide to feeding Bugsy's air-dried dog food — how much to feed, what it costs per day, and how long a pack lasts. For first-time air-dried buyers, for customers comparing meal options, and for anyone wondering whether premium Australian nutrition is within reach.
All pricing and daily-cost figures in this guide use the 3.5kg pack as a reference — the best per-gram value across the range. The 328g and 1.1kg packs are available at different price points; see individual product pages for full pricing.
How much to feedFeeding amounts vary by protein because each recipe has a different macro profile. Kangaroo is leanest (highest daily amount), beef is richest (lowest daily amount). These figures come directly from Bugsy's own feeding charts.
| Dog weight | Kangaroo | Turkey | Chicken | Beef |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | 78g | 69g | 65g | 58g |
| 10 kg | 131g | 116g | 104g | 98g |
| 15 kg | 177g | 157g | 141g | 132g |
| 20 kg | 220g | 195g | 175g | 164g |
Feeding guidelines are a starting point — adjust based on your dog's activity level, age, and condition. Puppies and growing dogs may need more per kg of body weight. Senior or less active dogs may need less.
What it costs per dayA common question from first-time buyers. Here's the daily cost of feeding Bugsy's air-dried as a complete meal, based on the 3.5kg pack at $228.
| Dog weight | Kangaroo | Turkey | Chicken | Beef |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | $5.08 | $4.49 | $4.23 | $3.78 |
| 10 kg | $8.53 | $7.55 | $6.77 | $6.38 |
| 15 kg | $11.52 | $10.22 | $9.18 | $8.59 |
| 20 kg | $14.32 | $12.69 | $11.39 | $10.68 |
These figures assume feeding as a complete meal. If you're using Bugsy's as a topper or training treat alongside another base food, your daily cost will be proportionally lower.
How long a 3.5kg pack lastsUseful when planning orders or deciding whether to commit to the 3.5kg pack over smaller sizes.
| Dog weight | Kangaroo | Turkey | Chicken | Beef |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | 45 days | 51 days | 54 days | 60 days |
| 10 kg | 27 days | 30 days | 34 days | 36 days |
| 15 kg | 20 days | 22 days | 25 days | 27 days |
| 20 kg | 16 days | 18 days | 20 days | 21 days |
For larger dogs or multi-dog households, the 3.5kg pack is typically the most practical size. For smaller dogs or trial purchases, the 328g and 1.1kg packs offer lower entry points.
Transitioning from commercial foodKeep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use within 6 weeks for best freshness and flavour. Refrigeration is not required but can extend freshness in humid conditions — Singapore's climate makes this worth considering.
Nutritional analysis at a glanceEvery Bugsy's recipe is made from 97–98.5% single-source Australian protein with the same supporting superfood base. What differs is the macro profile of each protein. Use the table to compare — especially if your dog has specific needs around protein or fat intake.
| Nutrient | Kangaroo | Turkey | Chicken | Beef |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Protein (min) | 66% | 59% | 38% | 42% |
| Fat | 10% | 18% | 36% | 35% |
| Ash (max) | 6% | 7% | 7% | 5% |
| Fibre (max) | 6% | 6% | 7% | 6% |
Figures are percentage by weight in a low-moisture air-dried format, so values look higher than a typical kibble. What matters is the balance across proteins — use this to compare, not to judge in isolation.
Choosing between proteins
Kangaroo
Leanest option. Best for dogs managing weight, dogs with chicken or beef sensitivities, or pets needing a high-protein, low-fat diet.
Turkey
Gentle, nutrient-dense, well-tolerated. A good option for dogs with sensitive stomachs or common-protein allergies.
Chicken
Familiar, highly digestible. A good starting point for dogs new to fresh-protein feeding.
Beef
Grass-fed, richer flavour, richer fatty-acid profile. Suits dogs who thrive on heartier protein.
