All the Benefits of
Raw Nutrition
Give your stealthy carnivore all the meat she can dream of with Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Raw Dinner Morsels. For pet parents that don't have time to prepare fresh raw foods or to wait for frozen food to thaw, freeze-dried is the best answer. These bite-size nuggets give kitties a feast of meat, organ and bones just like their wildcat ancestors. And to meet all of their nutritional needs, these recipes are formulated with added vitamins and minerals, probiotics and taurine.
The Prey Model Diet
It's only natural that your cat craves real meat—her body is designed to eat a diet that relies heavily on it. Stella & Chewy's makes it easy to feed your domesticated feline friend this prey model diet. Each recipe has 98% meat, nutrient-rich organs and bone, and there are no added hormones or antibiotics. All you have to do is rehydrate and serve. In just one minute, you'll have a wholesome, protein-rich dinner for your hungry tiger. As a bonus, she gets more water in her diet to keep her hydrated to support urinary tract health.
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 nuggets 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.

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 fed my cat, Ecko, the new chicken & fish food starting with a tiny bit mixed with her usual food. And I mean a TINY bit of food. She sniffed it, stared at me, and walked away. She did that five days in a row. She finally skipped it completely and went to her dry food right away. I let the new food soak in water and mixed it until it was as soft as any cat food. I started with just a taste of the new food mixed with Healthy Gourmet Chicken Entree. Sorry. Ecko was the boss!

I'm so happy I gave this a try - I have an extremely picky kitty when it comes to food and he is finally eating consistently again. He was already on a grain free diet, but suddenly he just didn't seem interested in his food at all. He would approach his food bowl and then just walk away. He had lost a lot of weight - and was already skinny to start with - so it was getting scary. He has been eating this for over a week now and seems to be feeling much better. (Yes, I know wet food would be best, but he won't eat that either)

OH MY GOD! My 6 month old sphynx is the most finicky eater I have ever encountered. I've given her about 20 different wet flavor/brand food and she won't touch any of it. Bought the 3oz bag to give a try and she has been devouring it. She loves this stuff! I will definitely be purchasing the big bag! Thank You Stella and Chewy for making something my baby absolutely loves!

I would have only given it three stars because it smells so bad, but the ziplock closure helps keep the house from smelling and the cat just loves it she'll even try to eat it dry which doesn't seem to hurt her and she's getting so much healthier. So it gets four stars because she really loves it and her coat is just being so nice and she's so spunky again.

My two older Ragdolls are picky eaters and they yack a lot of hairballs. They love Stella & Chewy's Salmon & Chicken. I pour hot water on the morsels to get them soaked and pour off the excess before serving.

My cats love this stuff, but not necessarily according to package directions! We crush it up and use it as a topper on both dry and wet food.

My cats love this stuff. Kind of expensive, so I use it as a treat. I can tell that their fur is shinier and no digestion issues.

My cats love the chicken, but the salmon chicken doesn't seem to soften in the same way. The nuggets stay hard and my cats won't eat it.

I have tried other raw food brands for my cat (only one of my cats eat the raw little "niblets") but this one I think she likes the least. I've used the small breed mix-ins for my dog and my cat would get into that and loved it. The cat version is lot different than that, though, and she doesn't like it as much. She probably would have eaten the entire container of the dog food if I let her, but with this, after 3 pieces, she's done. And these pieces are really big, too! I break them up to give to my cat. Not only that, but these are a lot drier than the other raw foods I'm used to. This is still an amazing food with a lot of benefits, just not my cat's favorite.

Telling you my cats LOVE this is a gross understatement. They couldn't get enough!!! They were gaining weight off of a new formula of dry food they have been eating for years and I always thought "raw" meant RAW, like ewwwww, raw meat! But I went into a store and found this and decided to give it a try and they ate it up so fast and were begging for more! Going to absolutely replace their dry food with this and continue to give them wet food as well. YAY! So happy!!!!
