PurePawRaw vs Kibble
Kibble wins on shelf life and price per pound. Raw wins on whole-food protein, hydration, and ingredient transparency. Here's what's actually different.
| Feature | PurePawRaw | Premium kibble |
|---|---|---|
| Primary protein | Whole muscle meat + organs + bone | Meat meal + grains + fillers |
| Moisture | ~70% (matches a cat/dog's natural prey) | ~10% |
| Processing | Minimal — frozen at our kitchen | High-heat extrusion |
| Storage | Freezer | Pantry |
| Cost / day, 30 lb dog | ~$5–7 | ~$1.50–3 |
| Subscription / no contract | Yes | Varies |
| Local Denver delivery | Planned every two weeks on Fridays | Big-box pickup or shipping |
Bottom line
If price-per-pound is the only metric, kibble wins. If your dog or cat has skin, weight, or stool issues you've been chasing, the difference in ingredients is where raw earns its place.
