Our read

Two premium minimally-processed foods that no longer pay the same value penalty per 1,000 kcal. In our view ZIWI Peak takes it on a stronger brand-trust record, the lowest sensitivity-risk profile here, and a materially better cost to feed after our July 2026 price recapture. Stella & Chewy's answers with marginally clearer labeling. They tie on nutrition fit.

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.

ZIWI Peak

Air-Dried Lamb

An exceptionally meat-forward recipe with minimal plant matter and all-life-stages adequacy. The tradeoff is cost, which is several times higher than conventional dry foods.

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.
