All the Benefits of
Raw Nutrition

For pet parents that don't have time to prepare fresh raw foods or to wait for frozen food to thaw, freeze-dried is the best answer. These bite-size nuggets give kitties a feast of meat, organ and bones just like their wildcat ancestors. And to meet all of their nutritional needs, these recipes are formulated with added vitamins and minerals, probiotics and taurine.
The Prey Model Diet
It's only natural that your cat craves real meat—her body is designed to eat a diet that relies heavily on it. Stella & Chewy's makes it easy to feed your domesticated feline friend this prey model diet. Each recipe has 98% meat, nutrient-rich organs and bone, and there are no added hormones or antibiotics. All you have to do is rehydrate and serve. In just one minute, you'll have a wholesome, protein-rich dinner for your hungry tiger. As a bonus, she gets more water in her diet to keep her hydrated to support urinary tract health.
Raw Feeding Helps:
Minimal Processing,
Maximum Flavor
Heavy processing of ingredients can diminish the nutritional value. But with freeze-dried, the end product still retains its beneficial nutrients. Frozen raw nuggets go into a freeze-dryer to remove moisture without ever applying heat or letting them thaw. So they come out with all the flavor, vitamins, minerals, omegas and amino acids they went in with. Plus, you'll never have to keep it in the freezer or defrost it.
Innovative Food
Safety Technology
Food safety is always a concern, especially with raw foods. Stella & Chewy's takes every precaution with their SecureByNature food safety process that's recognized by the USDA and FDA. The ingredients undergo a special, 100% natural cold-press process that creates water pressure similar to that found near the ocean's floor. No harmful bacteria can survive, and there's no heat to damage nutrients and diminish flavor. Each batch is tested by an independent lab, and the results are even posted online for you to see.
Ethically Sourced Ingredients
Stella & Chewy's sources everything that goes into your pet's food from reputable suppliers that guarantee the integrity of the ingredients. Meat, poultry and fish are responsibly sourced from all over the world. The wholesome fruit and vegetables are certified organic, and nothing comes from China.

About Stella & Chewy's
The story of Stella & Chewy's starts with two lucky rescue dogs named Stella and Chewy—and Chewy was a pretty sick pup. Their new pet parent, Marie Moody, started both of her new family members on a raw diet, and she watched them thrive. Eager to bring the same amazing prey model diet to other pets, Marie soon developed innovative food safety measures to create her own version of raw pet food—the Stella & Chewy's frozen and freeze-dried dinners and mixers that you know and love.

My cat has been suffering from IBS for the last 4 months. I've tried ALL the food suggestions from the vet and nothing helped. That's when I decided to try raw. Thanks to a facebook group I'm in that is all about Sphynx cat's, I learned about all the benefits of having a raw diet. I decided to start with the freeze dried because it's so simple. I noticed a difference almost immediately. Before I started with the freeze dried, my cat, who just turned one two months ago, was super skinny because everything he ate went right through him. He spent so much time in the litter box and I in turn spent so much time wiping poop off his feet and sides (his tail would get in it and spread it everywhere) My cat has been suffering from IBS for the last 4 months.

As I write this, its been almost two weeks since I switched to the freeze dried and my cat is like a whole new cat. I can't see his spine anymore, he's put on a little over a pound, he feels more solid, and his energy has returned and it's all because I switched his food to raw. … more

she seemed to be losing interest in the turkey one after it being her favorite for a while. decided to try this (even though she's way too much of a chicken addict and i try to give her other protein sources that she often rejects). i break these up a bit and add them to her canned food, then gently mix it all together with a little water (and sometimes broth powder). so far she seems happy with this flavor and eats every bite. would give higher rating (and would be glad to pay higher price) if they used free range and organic chicken instead of just cage free (cage free is still feedlot, and non-organic means there may be arsenic in the chicken feed, therefore also in this catfood)... at the she seemed to be losing interest in the turkey one after it being her favorite for a while. decided to try this (even though she's way too much of a chicken addict and i try to give her other protein sources that she often rejects). i break these up a bit and add them to her canned food, then gently mix it all together with a little water (and sometimes broth powder). so far she seems happy with this flavor and eats every bite. would give higher rating (and would be glad to pay higher price) if they used free range and organic chicken instead of just cage free (cage free is still feedlot, and non-organic means there may be arsenic in the chicken feed, therefore also in this catfood)... at the very least it would be nice to have more detailed information on the meat sources. but at least the cat is happy again, for now … more

Decided to try this for better nutrition for our two cats, one female age 18 and one male age 7. They both love it. The 18 yo female was a rescue 5 years ago and she is in very good health for her age. She took to this food as if she knew it her whole life. Our 7yo male was unsure at first but after a few taste samples he now devours it. I read this food is great in preventing urinary blockages in males. It is a bit pricey, so we feed it in the morning and their traditional wet/dry combo in the evening. If this food prevents any emergency urinary blockages then it is worth every penny.

My old boy dove into this food as soon as it rehydrated and he loves it. In fact I have a more expensive brand and this is the one he prefers. In less than a week, he is running thru the house hollering for his dinner. His hair coat has gone from greasy and unkept to fluffy and clean. The quality and the ingredients in food really does make a tremendous difference and I have seen it with my own eyes.

A raw diet is absolutely the healthiest thing for your cat. You should definitely rehydrate this food with water as it is crucial cats stay hydrated. I switched my bengals to this 2 months ago and they just love it. The chicken is their absolute favorite, but they also like the turkey alright. My male does also enjoy the salmon/chicken. They are much healthier now. Their poop no longer stinks, they are more active, their coats are softer & shinier, and my males sheds a lot less now. Plus they just love this food; they inhale it every meal! I highly recommend this food and it makes feeding a raw diet super easy and convenient. It's a win win for us!

Jimmy is getting old, and is losing his teeth. He deserves better than some of the canned food that's available. I feel good knowing that this cat food is the next best thing to fresh. Jimmy likes it moistened with warm water, and he eats all of it. He would often pick at the canned stuff--even the brands that were supposed to be healthy weren't to his liking. Chewy offers this food at a very reasonable price, delivered to your home.

I have 3 cats and only one of the cats will eat it. It took a couple of times and I just served a small amount as not to waste the food. It is expensive, but if the one cat will continue to eat this food I will purchase it in the future. He is the one that has health issues so I am willing to continue this food to see if it helps him. The other two cats just walk away. I would recommend this food if you want a good food for your loved ones. It would be nice if company's would have small samples to try. To waste any food at that price is a sin.

I used these as a topper for wet food for one of my cats, she would always lick the entire bowl clean whenever it had these nuggets in them! One of my pickier cats also enjoyed having them as a little snack, but the pickiest of all 3 of them still turned up her nose at them. Maybe she'd prefer a fish version, I'll have to try that out next.

Good ingredients. I usually get the primal raw food but decided to try and see if we preferred the freeze dried. It's fine, my cat likes it - though, he's one of those cats that will quite literally eat *anything* so... We usually rehydrate it with a bit of hot water and give it to him after its cooled a bit. I prefer the Primal frozen though, it's easier for us to use. Thaw in fridge then give to cat. The rehydration step for this, while not difficult, is annoying. And yes, I know it says you can feed it dry.... But that seems weird to me. Ha.

Surprisingly, all three of my 15 year-old cats like this food. Bowls are usually licked clean before it is time to feed again. I would like to know more about whether this food is good for cats with renal disease, as I have noticed that one cat has thrown up a little. I mixed this food with their normal food for the past week and went through an entire 18 oz bag in about a week. One of these cats is diabetic and she seems to be doing well on it. They actually crowd around when it is feeding time.
