Serve as is or rehydrate by adding cool or warm water. If your dog does not drink plenty of water at mealtime, we recommend rehydrating. To rehydrate, crumble and add 1/4 cup of water for every two patties. When feeding dry, always make sure your dog drinks ample fresh water at mealtime.

|---|---|---|
| Up to 5 lbs | 2 | |

- Days 1 - 3 : 25% Stella & Chewy's + 75% previous diet
- Days 4 - 6: 50% Stella & Chewy's + 50% previous diet
- Days 7 - 9: 75% Stella & Chewy's + 25% previous diet

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.

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.

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.

Received open package Feb 2021!
By DimeysMom on Feb 7, 2021
My baby absolutely LOVES these dinner patties. I was both mortified and disgusted when I received our most recent order, to find that the package had been OPENED & half the contents missing. To add insult to injury, someone used red duck tape to close it!! Unacceptable and probably our last time ordering from Chewy—these patties are rather pricey & I expected better service. Chewy was kind enough to send a new package, but the experience has left an overall bad impression. Hopefully this does not happen to anyone else.

Excellent topper!
By karid on Jan 11, 2021
So we've been giving our dog dry in the morning, and dry+canned in the evening (about 1/2 can each night). That works well, she loves the wet food (turns up her nose if it's just dry food), but the waste of the cans was always concerning (not to mention the space). These patties are great. She loves them! We just crumble one patty on top of the dry food as a topper. She goes after them just as eagerly as the wet food. For the 25oz bag, there are about 50 patties and it's $50. That's about $1/topper. That's the same as the purina can food you get on sale at the grocery store ($2/can, 1/2 can a topper). So for the same price as the cheap stuff, she gets a nice meal and we get less canned waste So we've been giving our dog dry in the morning, and dry+canned in the evening (about 1/2 can each night).

I read the other reviews, and mine weren't hard, but this was our first bag. Easily crumbles, but I do have to wash my hands with soap after (fishy/oily smell/feel). I don't have a problem with this. … more

Excellent nutrition for your dog!
By Kathy on Jan 12, 2021
My Rottweiler, Lily, is a very picky eater. When she stopped eating her kibble food, the search was on for something she would eat that was good for her. We tried several different types of food but when we tried Stella and Chewys dinner patties, the search was over! She loves this brand and her coat in so glossy and she is very healthy! I just wish it wasn't so expensive!

Life altering food
By Mmeesp1 on Dec 1, 2020
A few years ago our rescued miniature schnauzer suffered a severe bout of pancreatitis which left our home rather quiet for a bit and a huge hole in our bank accounts as well. Pepper was on a high quality food but despite that our vets recommended we switch to a prescription diet preferably a canned food diet. We decided to research other ideas, spoke with a holistic vet and animal nutritionist. We did initially do the script diet for a short stint but opted to switch to Stella and Chewys. Between the change of diet and using a bubbling water fountain we couldn’t imagine our gal being happier or healthier. Our vets is amazed at her labs. We will never feed anything else.

Loved the brand but not this flavor
By Adie on Feb 7, 2021
Our Sophie, a Mini Aussie has turned out to be quite finicky with her food. I purchased 3 flavors and this is her least favorite. It is fine with me as the smell is not the greatest!

Not a winner for my picky eater
By Cosette on Jan 22, 2021
My 5 1/2 year old French Bulldog is a super picky eater! She's won't eat the Surf and Turf so I'll donate that. But she loves the turkey and I'm going to try some of the other flavors as well.

Yummy Patties
By MamaDobe on Dec 27, 2020
My picky eater turns his head on cooked ground beef but he will alway eat his S&C dinner patties. Reading ingredients used, I know my dog is getting what he needs for raw diet. However, I do add cooked grains and puree vegetables in every meal.

fishFood or dog food?
By djGarlic on Jan 1, 2021
While we purchase Stella and chewy exclusively through Chewy this particular “flavor” not only is beyond dry and almost stale it has a horrible smell like fish food. I know it’s surf and turf but it’s way too smelly.

Leo lives for these patties!
By Barbara1960 on Jan 16, 2021
How I wish I could afford to feed Leo these Surf’nTurf dinner patties exclusively! And they’re good for him. So he gets half a pattie after taking a pill for his skin.
