Dog owners may elect to feed home-cooked diets (HCDs) rather than veterinary commercially prepared diets (CPDs) because of perceived lower costs. There is a paucity of data comparing costs of these options. We hypothesize there will be differences in costs between complete and balanced HCDs and nutritionally comparable CPDs.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nSAMPLE<\/jats:title>\n6 Home-cooked diets.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nPROCEDURES<\/jats:title>\nSix HCD recipes (2 highly digestible, 2 limited antigen, 2 low-fat) were formulated by 2 board-certified veterinary nutritionists to mimic the nutritional and ingredient profiles of veterinary CPDs for management of CCEs. The cost (in US$ on a per 100 kilocalorie [kcal] basis) of each recipe was determined via collection of ingredient prices from 3 grocery stores combined with supplement prices from online retailers. Prices of CPDs were obtained from a national online retailer. Maintenance energy requirements of 1.6 X (70 X BWkg<\/jats:sub>0.75<\/jats:sup>), where BWkg<\/jats:sub> represents body weight in kilograms, were calculated for 3 dog sizes (5, 20, and 40 kg), and costs of feeding maintenance energy requirements with HCDs versus dry and canned CPDs were compared with a Kruskal\u2013Wallis test and post hoc testing.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nRESULTS<\/jats:title>\nThe median costs of all dry and canned CPDs and HCDs were $0.29 (range, $0.18 to $0.46), $1.01 (range, $0.77 to $1.20), and $0.55 (range, $0.35 to $1.14), respectively. Feeding complete and balanced HCDs cost more than feeding dry CPDs (P<\/jats:italic> < .001), but not canned CPDs (P<\/jats:italic> > .99).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\nDry CPDs cost the least for nutritional management of CCEs.
