I'm wondering...S&C seems like a really good company to me. How does Nature's Variety compare?

I'm a fan of NV raw! Toki has primarily been getting NV in the mornings (she's been through a bag of duck and a bag of chicken) although we are transitioning to Stella & Chewy's...just depends on the day and if something is thawed or not (I try to keep the protein source the same if we switch brands...IDK if this really matters)! NV is definitely more affordable for me than the S&C although Toki only gets raw one meal a day so it's not bad. NV also has a lot more promotions and sends out more coupons which I like. A little while ago, I got a 4 lb bag of the chicken raw bites and Toki decided she wasn't very interested in them after a few meals so I'm trying to figure out what to do with ~3 lb of bites (I think she prefers the duck over the chicken) but my plan is to mix the chicken raw bites with some HK's Preference to see if that's more enticing to her.
I've also looked into Primal and Toki has tried their sample pack which she likes (she ain't too picky, can't you tell? haha) and my pet store just gave me a couple samples of their freeze-dried nuggets...I like the Primal except the nuggets look kinda green to me? I'm sure it's due to the kale or spinach or whatever they put in the formula which is fine for dogs but it makes it look like there's a higher plant to animal ratio than I'd prefer. I'm definitely babbling now haha but I'm still trying to find one raw brand to stick with!
