Slowly mix with current diet for the first 7 - 10 days, increasing the amount of Stella & Chewy's while decreasing the amount of the other food.
How do I begin introducing a raw diet to my pet?
Congratulations on your decision to make the switch! When transitioning from a cooked food such as kibble, you should go slowly, typically transitioning over 7-10 days. Most people start with the following guideline and then adjust the timeframe as needed:
- Days 1-3: 25% Stella & Chewy's along with 75% current diet
- Days 4-6: 50% Stella & Chewy' along with 50% current diet
- Days 7-9: 75% Stella & Chewy's along with 25% current diet
- Days 10-Forward: 100% Stella & Chewy's
It's important to remember that some digestive upset is normal during a transition this typically shows up in diarrhea, constipation or (very rarely) vomiting. This will eventually subside as your pet adjusts to the new food.
Is Stella & Chewy's appropriate for puppies?
Yes! Stella & Chewy's dinners for dogs are designed to be complete and balanced for all life stages this means they're great for puppies, too! They do meet AAFCO standards for complete and balanced nutrition across all life stages. You will, however, want to introduce them slowly a typical transition takes about 7-10 days. Puppies do need more food than adults at the same weight. Feed up to twice the amount recommended on feeding guidelines. We also offer a puppy-specific lineup of Freeze-Dried Dinner Patties!
Where are Stella & Chewy's ingredients sourced?
All Stella & Chewy's ingredients are responsibly sourced from farmers and ranchers we know and trust.
- The meats, poultry, fish are antibiotic-free and have no added hormones.
- Beef, Lamb and Venison are sourced from North America, Australia and New Zealand. They are grass-fed.
- Chicken, Duck, Goose and Turkey are sourced from North America and Europe. They're cage-free.
- The fish is North American, wild-caught.
- The rabbit is from Western Europe and/or North America.
- All fruits and vegetables are 100% organic. They are all sourced from North and South America based on seasonal availability.
- The vitamin and mineral mix we use our products is formulated for us in the United States the individual components are from the US and Western Europe with Taurine from Japan.
What are the sharp things I'm finding in the freeze-dried foods? Aren't they harmful?
Stella & Chewy's adds raw ground bone to all dinners as it's an essential part of a raw diet. The bone is safe and highly digestible when raw. The bone is ground with a 3/16 grind plate this means the bone could appear up to approximately 1/4-in size. The bone in the diet is ground to that size because of the health benefits it provides. A carnivore's teeth and body are designed to consume bone especially raw bone, like the bone used in each S&C meal. If it's ground to a powder, it doesn't have as many of the benefits. While it may feel sharper to our fingers, a carnivore's body is designed to consume and process the bone effectively and safely, as long as it's never cooked, heated, or microwaved.
What food safety procedures does Stella & Chewy's follow?
Stella & Chewy's has a patented food safety procedure to ensure the safety of every product. The most powerful step in this procedure is the high-pressure processing (HPP) step this is a cold-water pressure process that effectively eliminates harmful bacteria from the food. This process is used on all products, regardless of the protein. As food-borne bacteria can be present in any type of meat, Stella & Chewy's feel that incurring the extra cost of HPP for all products is the responsible thing to do. This way pet parents can rest assured that they're always bring a safe food into their home. Additionally, HPP is the only reliable method for maintaining the wonderful raw nutrition of our products while still removing harmful pathogens.
All batches of food are sent to a 3rd party testing facility to be tested for both Salmonella and E.coli and Listeria no food ever leaves the plant without negative test results in hand. These test results are posted on stellaandchewys.com. Stella & Chewy's is highly committed to creating the most nutritious, safe, and delicious product on the market.
How do you prepare Stella & Chewy's freeze-dried foods for dogs?
Freeze-dried Dinners and Mixers for dogs can be fed dry or rehydrated prior to feeding. If you choose to use the products dry, please be sure your pet is drinking plenty of water at mealtime. If your pet isn't a big drinker, or you're afraid that they may not get enough water, then rehydrate the food with cool or warm (never hot) water prior to feeding. If fed dry, the food can sit out for up to 12 hours prior to discarding. If fed rehydrated, the food can sit out for up to 2 hours.
Can I feed my pet more than one flavor of Stella & Chewy's?
We do suggest rotating proteins every 2-6 weeks. This means you would feed one flavor consistently for 2-6 weeks, then switch to another flavor for 2-6 weeks, etc. This is a great way to give your dog variety and to help keep protein-based allergies at bay.
Can the Stella & Chewy's freeze-dried foods be cooked or heated?
Stella & Chewy's products cannot be cooked, heated or microwaved. Doing so removes much of the nutrition. Additionally, we add raw, ground bone to our products as it's an essential part of a raw diet. Raw bone is incredibly safe however when bone cooks, it can become brittle and can splinter. Cooked bone is never safe for animals.
What is the shelf life on Stella & Chewy's freeze-dried products?
Stella & Chewy's freeze-dried foods have an expiration date of 18 months past the date of production. It is suggested to use our products by this date, or within a few days after. Much past that and we would recommend discarding the bag. Freezing or refrigerating would not extend the listed shelf life.
How many patties or scoops are in each bag of Stella & Chewy's?
All of Stella & Chewy's products are packaged by weight, not by patty count - this means that the number of patties per bag can vary somewhat.
Are the cat and dog products the same and can they be used interchangeably?
It's a question we hear a lot and we always suggest using the Stella & Chewy's product that was designed specifically for your cat or dog. Our dinners for dogs are not harmful to a cat, but they don't offer the balanced nutritional requirements of a cat either. You could occasionally offer the dog food to your cat, but wouldn't you prefer to give them the nutrients their furry little bodies need?
Do I need to give my pet any supplements in addition to the Stella & Chewy's dinners?
Nope! Zip, zilch, nada. Stella & Chewy's dinners for dogs and cats are designed to be complete and balanced. As long as you're using the product appropriate for its species, our dinners don't require additional supplements.
Why do the patties sometimes look, smell or feel different?
Just like the food we eat; everything isn't always identical. Our products are made in small batches using natural ingredients. And while there's never any change in the formula or the ingredients we use, you may occasionally see lot variations between batches. The differences are safe and normal in a natural product like ours.
Is Stella & Chewy's suitable for diabetic cats or dogs?
Many pet parents have told us that their animals thrive on a raw diet because of the low carbohydrate content. But every animal is different, so we recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine what is best suited for your pet.

It would be better if it wasn't stale
By Kiko on Sep 27, 2020
I was happy to see S & C made a freeze dried puppy food. I've been using the various freeze dried patties for quite awhile. Once in a while I'd get a bag that was so dry and hard that I had to use an electric chopper to break them up. This was the case with this bag. Is the inconsistency in the processing, packaging or because the product is getting old? Don't like it. My puppy still liked it and didn't get sick. This is a very pricey food. I expect more from it.

My Puppy Loves This
By FutureMastiffMama on Sep 2, 2020
My 10 month old Cocker Spaniel was refusing to eat kibble and was not too keen on canned food either. So we wanted to try Alpha prey model feeding. We switched to this until we are able to make out own raw food and our puppy has loved it. So does one of my cats. I have to keep this bag in a large metal popcorn tin at the top of my pantry to keep them out of it. We rehydrate it with some hot water from an electric kettle and let it cool for a few minutes, then we supplement with what ever fruits or vegetables (puppy safe ones only) we have left over in our fridge to give him some extra fiber. My only concern is the formula may be a little bone rich.

MY DOG BEGS FOR THIS STUFF
By Morgan on Sep 8, 2020
I just got this stuff in the mail today. My dog has been eating Ollie human grade frozen food and recently hasn’t been interested in it. She was begging for this before I even opened the bag. I gave her some with water on top of her kibble and she ate every last bite and licked the bowl clean. This stuff is a little expensive but when you mix it with kibble it cuts the cost down significantly and your dog will still enjoy it. I plan on adding Salmon oil on top next time to hydrate. Love this stuff will update my review as time goes by, but I’ve never seen my dog this excited for food!!!

GREAT TOPPER FOR LARGER BREEDS
By srdladybug on Sep 8, 2020
MY CHOCOLATE LAB PUPPY HAS A SUPER SENSITIVE STOMACH. OTHER RAW BRANDS GAVE HER BAD DIARRHEA. I TRIED THIS ONE AND THE CHICKEN AND SALMON PATTIES AND SHE TOLERATED THEM WELL. SHE LOVES THESE PATTIES! SHE IS A LARGER BREED SO I GIVE HER 2 CRUSHED UP IN HER BREAKFAST AND 2 CRUSHED UP IN HER DINNER. I ONLY USE THESE AS A TOPPER BECAUSE SHE IS A LARGE BREED AND WOULD NEED LIKE 32 PER DAY; WHICH IS NOT REASONABLE OR AFFORDABLE FOR US. WHEN SHE IS AN ADULT I LOOK FORWARD TO USING THE MEAL MIXERS AND SUPERBLENDS.

Keep getting Bugs
By Debra on Aug 10, 2020
I love these for my teacup pup and my Cavalier BUT they brought bugs into my house. Copra beetles. They have the black bug which is common in this type of food. Both times I’ve ordered, I have gotten the bugs. This last bag had an infestation and I had to throw it away. Ended up having to thoroughly clean my storage cabinets for dog and cat food and buy storage containers. Aside from that, Both my pups love this stuff. I give my 2.5 lb pup 1 patty in morning and night with a tiny sprinkle of dry dog food. My 12.5 lb pup gets 3/4 cup dry dog food And I mix in 3 of these. This is a good patty for teacup breeds and will last quite awhile with smaller under 5lbs pups. As for larger pups, I’d I love these for my teacup pup and my Cavalier BUT they brought bugs into my house. Copra beetles. They have the black bug which is common in this type of food.

This is a good patty for teacup breeds and will last quite awhile with smaller under 5lbs pups. As for larger pups, I’d steer clear. They require a lot of patties as the pups get heavier. One bad thing about the patties is they sometimes are all crushed up so you have to guess if you are feeding the correct amount. I want to love these, but I feel like there is an issue with quality for the price. … more

Korra approves!
By tyger4eyes on Sep 10, 2020
I came across a wonderful nutrition group on FB and they recommended these patties for my new pup and she loves it! She barely used to eat the food that the breeder gave us and she devours this and is so excited to eat it! The ingredients give her a nice raw balanced meal that is great for her immune system! Thank you for making a great product!

My dog would not eat this
By ProDogTrainer on Sep 10, 2020
My dog usually loves Stella and Chewy, but this was not up to snuff. It made him throw up, which is very unusual, and after that he wouldn't touch it. He enjoys many of the other flavors both as treats and meals though. I'm not sure if I got a bad bag or if this whole 'surf and turf' thing just doesn't sit well with his tummy.

Dogs and cats of all ages beg for these patties!
By Number1 on Aug 9, 2020
Love these convenient patties for my dogs and athletic cats. They hear the bag open and start begging. Love the freeze dried patties, easy to crumble and rehydrate to make a tasty wet food, or feed crumbled mixed in with dry kibble. They also make a great treat . They smell like fresh meat and even my pickiest eater will gobble them up. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Love love love!

Game changer!
By Sunshine on Jul 22, 2020
My puppy dances for these patties. Seriously. She gets so excited when I get the bag from the cabinet that she sits up at attention. She lips her lips in anticipation. She moans and whines because she can't wait for me to finish chopping each patty into bite sized pieces. She literally can't control herself. As soon as I put her bowl down it's like watching a lighting bolt head to the bowl. Needless to say, these will go on auto-delivery. They're pricey. I must have bought the first bag on sale because looking to reorder gave me sticker shock, but those puppy kisses after she finishes these meals are so worth it!!!!!! btw, I only fed them as a whole meal once. After that, I chop up 2 or 3 and My puppy dances for these patties. Seriously. She gets so excited when I get the bag from the cabinet that she sits up at attention.

Favorite and only way for her to eat her food
By RoxyApproves on Sep 10, 2020
My dog is a very picky eater. Before, I would sit with her so she would eat her food but when I ordered this and I topped this off her food, she was so excited and almost choked because it’s so yummy!
