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!

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.

All the Benefits of
Raw Nutrition
Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Raw Dinner Patties offer the easiest solution for pet parents to introduce raw food to their dog's mealtime routine. If you don't have time to prepare fresh raw foods or to wait for frozen food to thaw, freeze-dried is the best answer. With Stella & Chewy's Dinner Patties, your pup will enjoy a feast of meat, organ and bones just like his wild ancestors. And to meet all of your dog's nutritional needs, they're formulated with added vitamins and minerals, probiotics and antioxidants.
The Prey Model Diet
It's only natural that your dog craves real meat—his body is designed to eat a diet that relies heavily on it. Stella & Chewy's makes it easy to feed your domesticated canine friend this prey model diet. Each recipe has 90-95% meat, nutrient-rich organs and bone, and there are no added hormones or antibiotics. You can serve it as is, or crumble and rehydrate the patties. In just a matter of minutes, you'll have a wholesome, protein-rich dinner for your hungry pooch.
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 patties 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.


Everyday Rewards
At only three calories per delicious bite, Carnivore Crunch is the ideal take-along snack. No dog will turn his nose up at these freeze-dried treats that deliver 98% raw meat, fish or poultry along with nutrient-rich organs and ground bone. They're full of 40-52% protein with cage-free turkey, chicken and duck; wild-caught salmon and cod; and grass-fed beef. Pumpkin seeds are added for even more protein and a little fiber.

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.

Baby shih tzu loves these
By Sherbert on Mar 3, 2021
I just got my puppy and he would not eat the kibble food the breeder had recommended / had him on. I was having to give him nutrical a few times a day because I was so worried. My puppy loved these patties from the first time I gave them to him! He eats the entire thing and now looks forward to meals. It’s such a relief. We could not be happier.

Great puppy food
By Dianek on Feb 12, 2021
I soften these dried cakes with warm water and break them up. My puppy loves them. After trying several different foods for a while these seem to be the ones that she has regular and normal stool. She is now gaining weight appropriately. I have found she eats one or two more than is recommended for her weight on the bag. I’ll stick with this food for the next few months until she’s finished her shots.

Puppy Devours
By SdeG on Jan 28, 2021
OMG ... my timid little pup went crazy for these!! He was not interested in his dry kibble, but once I crumbled up one of these into his dish with his kibble -- he GOBBLED everything down! Since they're freeze-dried, I can crumble them and put them in his puppy Kong chew toy for quiet time chewing fun!

For picky puppies
By Ashley on Jan 4, 2021
I have an EXTREMELY picky puppy, I tried dry foods from Nutro, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Hills, Orijen, Purina, Raw Instincts, wet foods such as Merricks, Wureva, Blue Buffalo, and he wouldn't eat any of it (or would just nibble). This food the loves and I could not be happier and more thankful to have found it!

Makes puppy girl happy
By KNels on Jan 10, 2021
I use these as an in-between meal for my growing girl. She gets two patties after breakfast and just loves them. While these are expensive, I think they are well worth the price given the wholesome ingredients. I plan to transition puppy girl to the adult patties when the time comes.

Contains a relatively high amount of fat
By Evaw on Dec 5, 2020
I bought this bag due to all the great things that I have heard about Stella & Chewy. At first, I was super satisfied with the product as my dog really loved it. However, I realized that he started gaining some weight really quickly. I have a 4 months old blue french bulldog puppy who is the chubbiest one in the family at the very beginning, so I really try to watch out for his weight. The high-fat content is alarming and I will not purchase it again.

Upset my puppies stomach
By Abzeez on Feb 8, 2021
My puppy loved this just as much as the chicken and salmon. Unfortunately it gave him and upset stomach, so we’re going to stop feeding it for now.

What’s going on with this brand?
By Kirby on Nov 14, 2020
Have been buying this for a while, my puppy loved it. It was really crunchy and easy to split in half or into tiny pieces for toppings. This new bag sent to us was super hard though...it almost hurt my fingers when I tried to split it. Idk if it’s the storage issue, or if this brand changed their product somehow...anyway really disappointed. I’ll try getting it from a local store to see if it’s the same. If it is I might switch to other brands.

My puppy Loves them
By Huey on Jan 9, 2021
My Standard Poodle puppy loves them. His breeder recommended them with his kibbles twice a day. I put 2 on Top of his kibbles and he inhales them
