Stella & Chewy's Tantalizing Turkey Meal Mixers Grain-Free Freeze-Dried Dog Food

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

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 have one dog in particular that underwent double TPLO surgery last year and was diagnosed with IBD.

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

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.

We are big fans of Stella & Chewy in our household, and our pup loves the beef flavor, so we decided to try a few other flavors to see if we could switch things up every now and again. She didn't run over to her bowl like she does with beef or chicken. Maybe she just doesn't like turkey? Not too sure, which is why I can't give it 5 stars. Great ingredients & company.

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.

Like all pugs, my guy loves to eat. He was on a premium food yet still suffered from allergies. So I switched to topping off his wet food with Meal mixers turkey. He loves it. He’s not as itchy and his coat is soft and smooth.

I'm trying to get the benefits of raw food diet for my dog without having to actually deal with "RAW" food (I won't touch raw meat even for myself)! This is awesome & according to my dogs it's very NUMMY!

Really good food, however, it's really expensive relative to the quantity received. We have a small chihuahua (about 6-7 lbs) and the large bag only lasts about 20 days. We will have to find an alternative food that's a little more affordable. But if you can afford it - it's great food!

I have two very small dogs I have to break it up a little bit for my poodle cuz she doesn't have any top teeth anymore but my chihuahua just knocks it down
