is what more expensive than what? Canidae is one of the more expensive foods as far as regular dog food goes (i.e., more expensive than purina or eukanuba, etc) and you can usually only get it at specialty stores not at a chain like petsmart or petco.

I dont know much about raw but Ive also been thinking about switching to a raw diet recently, and from what Ive been hearing, I believe if you buy premade raw food it is a lot more expensive than even the high end dog food like canidae, but if you make the raw diet yourself it is about the same or even a bit less than regular.

Hope that answered your question.
