The Pet Bill Nobody Adds Up
Some pet bills don't show up
on the food receipt.
We did the math most pet parents never run. The gap between feeding fresh raw food and the all-in cost of food + everything else is smaller than you'd think.

The Math
~$8/day for Darwin's.
About the same as what some pet parents end up spending on food, supplements, and follow-up vet visits combined.
|
|
For dogs.
A year of food and extras for a typical 40–60 lb dog can stack up like this. Most dogs hit at least a few of these line items along the way.

Darwin's for the same dog
~$8/day · Real meat, real veggies, portioned for your dog. About the same daily spend, with fewer line items to worry about.
|
|
For cats.
Cats are obligate carnivores — they're built to eat meat, moisture, and not much else. When the food doesn't match that, the spend tends to show up elsewhere.

Treat the bowl.
Not just the symptoms.
Darwin's is real food — fresh raw meals built for the way dogs and cats are wired to eat. Many pet parents tell us the line items above shrink after they switch. We can't promise it. But the math, and an inbox full of stories, makes a good case for trying.
