When it comes to feeding your pet, many owners focus on the cost of their pet's food. While it may seem like kibble is the more budget-friendly option, a raw pet food diet from Vital Essentials can actually be more cost-effective in the long run. Here's are 5 reasons why:

  • Fewer visits to the vet: Raw pet food diets, particularly those from Vital Essentials, are made from high-quality, natural ingredients that can help improve your pet's overall health. A healthier pet means fewer trips to the vet, which can save you money in the long run.

  • Better digestibility: Raw pet food diets are more easily digested than kibble, which means that your pet can absorb more of the nutrients from the food. This means that you can feed your pet smaller portions, which can help save money on food costs.

  • Better behavior: A raw pet food diet can help improve your pet's behavior, reducing the need for expensive training and behavior modification.

  • Longer shelf life: Raw pet food has a longer shelf life than kibble, which means you can buy it in bulk and save money over time.

  • More food options: With a raw pet food diet, you have more options when it comes to feeding your pet. Vital Essentials offers a variety of food toppers, entrees, and snacks that can be used to supplement your pet's diet.


A raw pet food diet from Vital Essentials can be more cost-effective than feeding your pet kibble. With better health, digestibility, behavior, and more food options, you can save money in the long run by choosing a raw food diet for your pet.
