Stella & Chewy's Absolutely Rabbit Dinner Morsels Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food

My cat has eaten this product for over 2 years and always enjoyed it for her meals. I opened a new bag recently and the pellets look different and the product smells different. My cat absolutely will not eat this. I called Stella & Chewy and they claim nothing has changed but take my word for it SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. Very disappointed since I have a cat with many food allergies and pancreatitis and this product helped her feel well and had nothing she was allergic to. Not sure what to do now. Very unhappy!

Our cat has been struggling with IBD for almost a year. Until recently he’s been throwing up a few times a week and lost interest in eating much. He’s lost 5 lbs in as many months. We’ve been medicating him and feeding him prescription food, with only limited success. Last week I fed him Absolute Rabbit food, and it’s like a light switch turned on. He hasn’t thrown up since March 21, the first day we fed him this food. He eats it enthusiastically and is consistently eating more volume than his previous food. He loves it!! What a relief. On the down side, this product is extremely expensive when you look at the size of the bag.

Luckily my cat does not eat the suggested serving size for his weight (1 cup for a 10lb cat) so it’ll last us a bit longer. For now I’ll keep purchasing because there’s been nothing else that makes him happy and gives him nourishment. … more

Do not buy this product. They changed the formula without telling their customers, and continue to charge an exorbitant price for this food. The latest version are essentially hard wine corks. I am going to demand my money back. This food is too expensive to have to throw out because of inconsistency.

Neither of my cats would eat this product. They are usually picky, so not sure if fairly reflects the product. Also, I was surprised at how little of this product came in the bag. Guess I should have paid more attention to the weight label on the bag.

Stella & Chewy is one of the two best quality and most palatable freeze-dried cat foods available. Every single one of my cats through the years have loved them. No fillers in this food! Whereas none of my crew of 8 cats will eat rabbit in the form of raw or canned, all will eat it freeze-dried. Of note - none of my guys will eat freeze-dried if it’s been reconstituted (water added). They will only eat it dry. In its dry form it’s their preferred food over all others. The only things to watch for are potential constipation issues arising in susceptible cats and the need to crumble the pellets to avoid choking if the food is eaten dry.

My crew’s main diet consists primarily of locally produced raw food along with some canned, they get the freeze-dried for daily snacks, crumbled onto canned foods, and for the occasional meal. The only limitation I have to feeding Stella & Chewy is the Cost of the product. Photo: Jamie and Michael, two of my five rescued siblings. … more

I fed this to my cats and it's a hit. My male cat likes it wet and my female likes hers to be dry. At first, I thought I wasted my money because of her fickleness but her dislike was simply because she just didn't want this food to be wet. My male cat is a bit overweight so I was searching for a food that would satisfy him more and stop his begging behavior (he's addicted to dry food and is annoyingly persistent about it). Right after he eats this food, he is satisfied, more energetic, and isn't begging for more food as he does with the dry food I give him (which is a weight control food). So far it's working great. I really love to see him more energetic after he eats. The only downfall about I fed this to my cats and it's a hit. My male cat likes it wet and my female likes hers to be dry.

The product is ok. I feed my cats after rehydrated. However, I feel the description of this rabbit one is inappropriate. Unlike others saying USA kitchen and trusted sources, it says nothing from China. And also it says the product no need to be rehydrated, which I believe it is opposite to what is on the bag. I hope Chewy or the brand could correct any inappropriate descriptions, otherwise I will stop buying this product. I don’t think a company making mistakes on product description could make any good food for my babies.

My kitten loves this food. I let it rehydrate in some water for a few minutes and she gobbles it up. I would recommend breaking up the pieces if you have a young kitten and it’s too big for them to chew

I use them dry, only occasionally I will wet them in warm water as a treat for two feral cats I feed (my indoor cat is much picker and prefers dry only). I break the dry treats up and sprinkle on top of wet food as a topper, and give little chunks as treats. It's IBD friendly if rabbit is an established safe protein. My roommate's cat also flips out over them, they're overall a big hit!

Once again my three have proven that I do not think like a cat. They were not favorably impressed with this product, which should not reflect on the company or product. This is just one product in my hunt to replace the discontinued treat.
