Buy on AmazonOur read
Two heavily-marketed raw-style foods separated by less than the marketing suggests. In our view Stella & Chewy's edges it on a lower sensitivity-risk profile and slightly stronger brand-trust signals, while the two tie on nutrition fit, ingredient clarity, and the steep value penalty the freeze-dried and dehydrated shelf pays per 1,000 kcal. Badlands Ranch runs cheaper per calorie of the two, but not by enough to move its value band.
This verdict is our opinion under the PetScored rubric, not veterinary advice. The exact sub-scores are in the table below; each food’s source confidence and limitations stay on its own scorecard.

Badlands Ranch
Superfood Complete Beef Recipe
A whole-animal, high-fat air-dried recipe with very high calorie density. The tradeoff, in our view, is a steep cost per calorie and a beef-and-salmon profile that is not low-allergen.

Stella & Chewy's
Chewy's Chicken Dinner Patties Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food
Freeze-dried raw-style patties with official manufacturer label fields, 4,420 kcal/kg, and 60 kcal/patty captured. Chewy agrees on kcal/kg but still lists 50 kcal/patty, so per-patty calories remain disclosed while value math uses kcal/kg; follow manufacturer handling and rehydration directions.

FAQ
Common questions
Badlands Ranch vs Stella and Chewy's: which is better?
In our view Stella & Chewy's takes it, narrowly: the mainstream Chicken Dinner Patties score 6.4 against 6.2 for Badlands Ranch Superfood Complete, on a lower sensitivity-risk profile and slightly stronger brand-trust signals. Everything else ties, including value, where both sit near the bottom of the range we score. Neither result is an accident: this whole shelf is expensive to feed per 1,000 kcal, and the rubric prices that in.
Are Badlands Ranch and Stella & Chewy's the same kind of dog food?
Close cousins. Badlands Ranch Superfood Complete is a dehydrated blend; Stella & Chewy's patties are freeze-dried raw. Both are minimally processed and shelf-stable, and on our rubric the shelf they share behaves one way: no recipe on the freeze-dried, air-dried, or dehydrated dog shelf reaches the Strong band, and most of it sits at 2 of 10 on Value. The scorecards linked above carry each label's specifics and source confidence.
