We’ve done some digging and we’ve taken the opportunity to compare Kabo and Big Country Raw, one of the largest raw dog food players.
At Kabo, we ask pet parents to fill out a short questionnaire about their dog and its specific needs or conditions. This ultimately helps us determine a suitable diet for your pet while keeping into account their lifestyle. Depending on the needs of your pup, we offer different human-grade proteins that appeal to even the pickiest eaters.
While Kabo places emphasis on customizing meal plans to dogs, Big Country Raw offers limited cooked options such as their cookhouse beef meatloaf, chicken meatloaf, pork meatloaf, and turkey meatloaf starting at $11.99. Although these portions are not tailored to your dog, Big Country Raw’s meatloaf is more of a “one diet fits all” type approach.
With every subscription at Kabo, pet parents are able to connect with our in-house pet experts to help answer any questions you might have about our product or your pup.
Big Country Raw, while they offer customer service and are endorsed by certain clinics, doesn’t provide hands-on vet services to pair with their product. They do, however, have a full-time pet nutritionist to help formulate their diets.
Kabo’s fresh recipes are created in a human-grade kitchen without over-processing which meets AAFCO standards.
With the rise of adoption rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we know not all pet parents have the luxury or flexibility to make that “quick trip” to grab more dog food. That’s why we’ve made it easier for pet parents by allowing them to schedule their own delivery frequency with the flexibility of being able to pause and skip at any time.
Big Country Raw provides delivery to your doorstep but delivery is only offered on certain days of the week depending on where you are located. You’re able to check when shipping is offered for your location by heading to their website.
Each of our human-grade recipes are packed with fresh Canadian ingredients providing complete nutrition for your dog.
After 1 year my puppy decided he didn't like his vet prescribed dry dog food. I tried raw which he would't go near then a family member suggested I try Kabo. Our little Georgie went CRAZY for it. He sits while I prepare his bowl and just stares at me with anticipation. His bowel movements have been consistent now and he is one happy pup ! He also loves the mix of wet and kibble.
Prior to Kabo, I struggled to find the best food plan, including a raw diet, for my sweet, six year old havadoodle. The transition to Kabo was not as easy as I would have liked, but with support and encouragement from the Kabo team, it proved to be the best choice I’ve made for him so far. Dash now has a very healthy digestive system and solid, healthy bowel movements for the first time in two years. Our Vet was also very pleased with his improvements at his annual check up in February 2022.
Ellie Mae is a very fussy dog. She also has an intolerance to some foods especially chicken. We started out with raw food…. However Ellie was always getting tummy upsets. Also I wasn’t sure of the nutritional balance and quality. When we switched to Kabo I spoke with the consulting dietary veterinarian. I felt confident that Ellie would be getting good nutrition. We usually get the duck kibble with the luscious lamb. But we are trying the salmon/turkey kibble with beef cooked. Neither gives her tummy upset and She happily eats all of it!
We got our Boston terrier puppy in December, and he became VERY picky. He did not like traditional wet food, and he became really picky with his kibble. I was researching raw, and cooking for him myself, when I came across kabo. We tried out the fresh cooked meals and we were sold. He devours it. We now get the kibble and the cooked (50/50) and it is a perfect combo. We were at our wits end with him, and Kabo has saved us. Thank you! Ohtis loves his food now.
