Stella & Chewy's Duck Duck Goose Dinner Morsels Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food

I use this ground and rehydrated mixed with "Go" Sensitivity and Shine.She is hyperthyroid and needs special care. This is basically a good food, as are all the freeze dried offerings from S&C. One point, however.. "Organic fruits and vegetables" are non existant in these formulas unless you count a tiny bit of pumpkin seed. Almost all the pet food descriptions are misleading but if you read the labels carefully as least you'll know what you're getting. In this case, I feed raw super greens to make up for the lack. Some people think a cat only needs meat. When they make a fresh kill, the first thing on the menu is stomach and intestines containing the plants that their prey ate.

My cat has been on prescription cat food (and basically any other food I could try) and has had a terrible stomach from the start. Vets can’t figure out why she’s always sick all over my house but I’ve tried everything. This is the first thing she’ll actually eat every time and has made her stop getting sick. Worth more than it’s weight in gold for me. (I also actually give it to her dry. She drinks plenty of water during the day and just prefers it dry - maybe it’s more like kibble for her I don’t know)

First, you NEVER know if a food will work for YOUR cat, unless you try it. Reviews can help, but you need to try for yourself. I have six cats. Four were adopted early this year of all ages - and one of those cats is allergic to every protein, grain, etc. except duck, goose, lamb and rabbit. Any other ingredient in a can makes her project from both ends. Forget dry - she can’t handle it. I refuse to feed her the awful food from the Vet’s office, so said “This stuff is really pricey but let’s give it a try.” You know the saying, “you get what you pay for”? Not only did she clear up in 2 days (nice, firm stool) but no vomit and no smell!!! I thought my beautiful house would never have visitors First, you NEVER know if a food will work for YOUR cat, unless you try it. Reviews can help, but you need to try for yourself. I have six cats.

Not only did she clear up in 2 days (nice, firm stool) but no vomit and no smell!!! I thought my beautiful house would never have visitors again because of the litter smell (also from the 2 sensitive 1yo kittens we adopted), but once I switched the kittens to this too - no sign that I have litter boxes in this house at all! I am floored. I feed this and rabbit to the allergy cat and chicken to the kittens (who also love the duck!). I use the turkey as treats! About the cost - it is turning out to last longer than I thought. The 18oz bag seems to be lasting about 2 weeks for 1 nine pound cat, maybe a little longer I am determining amount to feed based on closely monitoring their weight with a baby scale. If it goes down, I feed a little more; if up, I reduce a bit. I’m still working it out. So, if I fed a $1 can to the cat twice daily, that would be $28 in 2 weeks. This is $36. An $8 difference that might be even less if the bag lasts longer. I just started a month ago so need more time to work the math. And my cans were never only $1 btw. My vet is nervous about raw, but ONLY because of MY health. I told her she doesn’t worry about me when I cook my own chicken so why about this? I use the same cleanliness protocols, so it really is a non-issue. The other great thing is that they eat it in one sitting. No waiting 2-3 hours to pick up the leftover sucked-dry canned food. Wonderful! … more

I like the small nuggets. They are soft and easy to break with your fingers. 3 out of 4 cats love it. Even my cat who eats nothing but cooked chicken tenders (spoiled rotten) and dry, she goes for it. The cat that isn’t eating it is SUPER picky. And she needs a limited diet. This one has duck, turkey and goose. I tried Primal Cuts for cats duck formula. Throughout the years I’ve found it changes bag to bag in consistency, etc. this is my first bag of this stuff. Just ordered another bag, hope it’ll be the same. I would recommend it especially if your cat goes after live prey. They’ll devour this.

I have two cats. Crowley = mr. finicky and Castiel is not. However, neither would even try this. I added water and even tried heating it. Nope, they wanted no part of it. I am sad about that as I think this is a great food for them. I donated it, so hopefully the shelter kitties enjoy it.

I use 2 - 5 pieces as a kibble topper for my IBD cat. The Little Man (feral cat who will probably never surpass 5 lb) is a picky as well moody eater (e.g. he'll love something the first and second time and then hate it). But he's been faithfully loving this for several months and and his guts do well with it. My other 2 healthy big boys and the "couch surfer" also eat it although the sick cat likes it best. This is supposed to be eaten wet but it works for us as kibble topper.

I normally don't write reviews. After having cats for 20 plus and struggling to find a food I felt good about giving them, the struggle is over. I have seen such an improvement in their costs, litterbox use, energy levels and temperaments. They are more playful and have a better quality of life since switching to this. I feed them the dry pellets and don't add water. They prefer them dry. I can't say enough about this food. I feel good feeding my cats something they love and that is good for them.

After getting used to it and mixing it with her current wet food, she loves it and leans her plate. She has loads of energy!

Any S & C product made with Duck Duck Goose is the favorite of both my 10 cats and 2 small dogs.

My cat is definitely a fan of this food. I give it to her to supplement her regular dry food and she now knows what time of day it is and gets eager when it's time for this. I give it to her hydrated and mashed up, which only takes a second to do.
