Why the difference in protein levels in a raw food maker and kibble and dehydrated raw?

So I'm looking at commercial raw diets and I notice one has 11% protein, high quality kibble has 29%-41% , and dehydrated has about 21-29%.

Why would a raw diet, containing the most meat have the least percentage of protein??

Help?Why the difference in protein levels in a raw food maker and kibble and dehydrated raw?
Possibly, .... maybe the kibble had to have protien supplements added and/or maybe it's made for "high calorie- working-type dogs"? I'm sorry I don't quite know-- it may have to do with the concentration (remember raw-raw isn't dehydrated and has a high water content) / ingredients/ quality/ brand/ age group? Most likely it may have to do with the water content (concentration and mass ratio)??
