When Used as a Mixer/Topper:
Simply fill a 1/4 c. measuring cup, mix with other food you may be feeding, and serve. Meal Mixers can be fed to your pet dry or rehydrated by adding 2 tablespoons of cool or warm water per 1/4 cup of food.
Your pet will love the added taste and can be confident about the added nutrition Meal Mixers delivers. We recommend the following portions based on the size of your dog:
| Dog's Weight | Number of 1/4 Cup Scoops per Day (when mixed with other food*) |
|---|---|
| Small Dogs (up to 20 lbs.) | 1 Scoop per Day |
| Medium Dogs ( 21-40 lbs.) | 2 Scoops per Day |
| Large Dogs (Over 40 lbs.) | 3+ Scoops per Day |
*Reduce other food portions accordingly to avoid overfeeding
When Used As a Complete & Balanced Meal:
Meal Mixers meet the nutritional requirements to be fed as a complete and balanced meal for all adult dogs. To use as a meal, serve as is, or rehydrate by adding cool or warm water. If your dog does not regularly drink water at mealtime, we recommend rehydrating by adding 1/2 cup of water per 1 cup of food. If your dog prefers dry food, always have ample fresh water available at mealtime.
| Dog's Weight | Number of Cups Per Day |
|---|---|
| Up to 5 lbs | 1/2 cup |
| 6 - 10 lbs | 3/4 cup |
| 11 - 15 lbs | 1 cup |

| 41 - 60 lbs | 3 cups |
| 61 - 80 lbs | 3-3/4 cups |

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.
Mealtime Will Never
Be Boring
Give your pup's meal a kick-start with Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers and Meal Mixer Superblends. Your dog naturally craves meat, so why not surprise him with a little extra at dinnertime? These freeze-dried raw meat toppers give you a convenient way to add protein and nutrients to any kibble or wet food—just scoop and serve.
The Prey Model Diet
A dog's body is designed to eat a diet that relies heavily on meat. Stella & Chewy's makes it easy to feed your domesticated canine friend this prey model diet, even if you don't feed raw exclusively. Meal Mixers have 95% meat, nutrient-rich organs and bone, and Meal Mixer Superblends have 90% plus all sorts of healthy superfoods. Both meal enhancers also offer a daily dose of vitamins and minerals with 100% organic fruits and vegetables.
Two Ways to Enjoy a Tasty Topper
MEAL MIXERS: Make kibble anything but ordinary with 95% meats, organs and bones that are freeze-dried and blended with organic fruits and vegetables.
MEAL MIXER SUPERBLENDS: Let him chow down on raw bites of 90% meat, organs and bones plus freeze-dried chunks of organic fruit and veggie superfoods that offer tons of fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants.
Scoop, Mix and Serve
How exactly do you serve a mixer? It couldn't be easier:
- Fill the pre-measured scoop once for small dogs, twice for medium dogs, and even more for larger pups.
- Just like the name says, mix it in with your pet's usual food—it works with both wet and dry.
- Put the bowl down for dinnertime, and your hungry pooch will instantly take care of the rest.
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.
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.

I was given a bag of these a couple weeks ago from a friend, and was excited since I knew it's from a darn good brand. I've made it a habit to crush 2-3 individual nuggets on top of my dogs' food each serving (a 25lb yorkie/schnauzer mix "thing" and an 80lb pit/mastiff). The yorkie has always been a picky eater, usually electing to ignore all dry kibble unless there is wet dog food poured on it, no matter the brand of kibble (some of them reaching very high prices for 5lbs a bag). However, after I started to crush and sprinkle these mixers into his food, he *sprints* toward where his bowl goes, sits with his tail WAGGIN, and chows down, promptly eating most if not all of his food right then.

He loves them MORE than the wet food! And it's healthier than the wet food he likes, too. Absolutely recommended for a potential picky eater, and for dogs, like my pit, who aren't so picky. … more

I am so happy I found this food. My two Shih Tzu boys absolutely love this food as a topper. I used to have to cajole, plead and sometimes beg for my boys to eat, but that is in the past. In addition to loving the taste, they both have a lot more energy and are acting like puppies!

I was kinda disappointed with this item, due to the fact that it crumbles super easily. I was hoping to be able to take these with me for hiking and training, but they flake apart too easily to do that with. I just end up with a bag of mush. My dog enjoys them though.

Keeping in mind that my senior dogs just recently (we're in week 2) switched to this, and I can already see a significant difference in their energy level, playfulness, and overall demeanor. I have one dog in particular that underwent double TPLO surgery last year and was diagnosed with IBD. She's been on a very restrictive limited ingredient, grain free diet, but was still picking at her food and having periodic issues. I had her on a daily probiotic and famotidine. I was cooking range-free turkey burgers to entice her to eat. I also mixed in pumpkin, local honey (for allergies), and occasionally tried other veggies, though she never liked veggies much.

I was cooking range-free turkey burgers to entice her to eat. I also mixed in pumpkin, local honey (for allergies), and occasionally tried other veggies, though she never liked veggies much. Since I began mixing in the turkey toppers, I've not had to give her any famotadine or entice her with cooked turkey burgers, etc. She has actually been looking forward to dinner time, has been much more playful and physically stronger (because she feels so much better), and has been much friendlier to my other dog; actually wanting to engage in play, which she didn't feel like doing previously. My other dog has had terrible seasonal allergies, and since switching, has stopped eating grass and has coughed less. If all of this has happened after 2 weeks of switching, I'm extremely hopeful that I've finally found the best diet for better, long-term health! I have been mixing the toppers with a high-quality kibble. I have no more picky eaters! Since both are barrel-chested, I make sure I mix in luke warm water to hydrate the mix. I don't want to risk bloat should they not drink enough water with their meal. Dinner time has become sooooo much easier for me, and clearly an improvement for my dogs. … more

Stella & Chewy's is a 5-Star product and the Salmnon Meal Mixer is a huge hit with my schnauzer but for some reason she seems to like the turkey less (but eventually eats it).

Maximus and Stella love these toppers. I have noticed a huge difference in Stella's hair her summer coat is coming out thicker and darker and is so freaking soft.

Me and my puppy absolutely love this product. He goes nuts for it. I use it as a meal topper and he eats the whole bowl. I also use it as a treat

My dog eats the freeze dried out of the kibble mixed before the kibbles. He loves it. If you have a pickie eater I say try it.

This is the second dog I have been feeding these meal mixers. Having recently adopted a 15 year old Beagle with a bad heart murmur, very bad teeth and other issues I started her on this food, adding Pacific broth to her kibble, and in no time her weight improved, plus she has adopted me also and has a new outlook on life. There is no waste at all with this added to her meals, so that makes it even more worth the money.

My dogs eat a grain-free kibble diet or rather they DON'T eat their kibble. Likely holding out for treats or some of the human's food. So, I started adding in Stella & Chewy's and it's a hit. They really began to eat their kibble better. They love it so much, the little stinkers delicately select the S&C bits out of the kibble and save the rest until they discover they're hungry and nothing better is on the table.
