Raw Nutrition

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.

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.

Cats like this, a lot
By Jalene2cats on May 11, 2021
I researched freeze dried raw foods and this brand received good reviews so I decided to give it a try. So far my cats really love it. I'm giving it as a supplement at this point. The pieces are a little large for my 2 cats but they are sensitive to the size of any foods they eat. Breaking each piece down to smaller size is easy and no big deal, its for my precious boys. I add a little water to a small bowl and drop the pieces in, the pieces soak up water really fast. Gently mix to fully soak each piece and serve. So far we are happy with this product.

Kittys love
By Presouz on Apr 17, 2021 top1000Contributor
Smash it dry between fingers add water and magic appears. Toss left over raw food don’t leave uneaten more then an hour in cool weather. Pick up and toss left overs in warmer weather. Beauty of this as you can give them four or 12 whatever their amount is. My Kittys also use as dry food sometimes its zero carb. I cut them in half with kitchen scissors and gave Kittys a few of em dry if I’m out for the afternoon. Toss dry out in 12 hours if using as a dry. Messy eaters can get saliva on it and it can go bad. Raw takes more care but so OMG so healthy for my kitties!!

Healthy and Tasty For Your Cats!
By GingerCatsRule on Apr 7, 2021
My rescue Cat Sammy has always had a bad wheezing problem and the Vets can't figure out why. Had my boy Sammy on lots of different hard foods from inexpensive to expensive and nothing helped. When I eliminated the hard food and started to strictly give him wet along with S&C his wheezing went down but not completely gone, but better. Could be a food allergy the hard food. Sammy loves this food though I wish the pieces were half the size as it's difficult for many Cats to eat them dry which is how I feed them to him. I'm convinced raw is the way to go. Cats are Meat eaters not plant eaters. I will continue to try other flavors to see what he likes as I think Cats also like diversity as they get My rescue Cat Sammy has always had a bad wheezing problem and the Vets can't figure out why.

I also give Sammy freeze dried Minnow and others freeze dried toppers along with freshly baked salmon once in awhile. My only concern is that I HOPE and PRAY S&C does not ever get taken over by some of the huge companies that always try and cheapen a good product to save money. Like my dad always said to me. "If it ain't broke don't fix it". … more

WARNING: texture is hit or miss, flaky or sandy
By Disappointed on Apr 14, 2021
I've bought a few bags of morsels now, but each bag has pellets with a different consistency. My cats love it when the pellets are flaky when crushed, but some bags have pellets that are very sandy/gritty when I crush them, and other bags have had all petrified pellets I couldn't even crush with a food processor or a mortar and pestle. I always add water, and not even this helps to make the sandy or petrified pellets edible. When there is a problem with sandy or petrified pellets, it's the WHOLE BAG--not just part. Had to throw out way too much food :(

Different formula?
By AriKatz on Apr 17, 2021
I mistakenly ordered chicken and salmon instead of just chicken. My 2 cats are slowly eating it but definitely prefer just the chicken. The bigger issue is that these don’t seem to absorb water like the plain chicken morsels do. I’m not sure if this is a change in the formula like another reviewer suggested or is it specific to this blend of salmon/chicken. I definitely prefer ones that absorb water and get softer before my cats eat them.

All our cats love this, even our hard to please duo!
By 2Shepherds on Apr 2, 2021 top500Contributor
I definitely recommend this salmon and chicken variety. Our fist time trying it, we've bought the salmon and cod previously. All 5 of our cats love it, and dive in as soon as we put their plates down. Even our 2 picky, hard to please cats are fans. Have fed it both rehydrated as a meal, and crushed on top of canned or raw food as a topper, they love it both ways. It also helped put an end to our new kitten's diarrhea, and fast! Will definitely be purchasing regularly.

Quality Food Not Junk
By terriSF on Mar 21, 2021
Most pet food, regardless of price, have long list of ingredients some mysterious and unpronounceable. Do we really know what we are feeding our fur babies? Just because they taste good to our pets, it doesn't mean they are good for our pets. I was worried that my two cats may not appreciate these morsels since they do not appear to contain any flavor enhancement. Fortunately my cats took to them without any problem. They get about 7-8 each everyday moistened with some warm water. Bought three different flavors for rotation. Feels good to know they are getting some REAL food every day.

love it when used properly
By OurAnimalHouse on Apr 25, 2021
Follow the directions. This must be wet to feed. This will dehydrate animals if not fed wet and properly as cars are not big drinkers. I use this for my ferrets. It’s expensive but the closest thing to a raw natural diet they are supposed to have without all the extra they aren’t supposed to have.

Great for my kitten
By Wolfpets on Mar 7, 2021
I have been feeding my cats Iams for about 3 years. Then I got a new kitten and started researching the best food to get for him, and found out raw freeze-dried was one of the best options. I saw this brand and decided to try it out. I gave it to my two cats-- a 9 year old and 10 month old kitten. My kitten was instantly in love and thinks its a treat. My adult cat would only eat it if I hand fed her, and even then I could tell she didn't really like it. I am now slowly making this my kittens full-time food. The only thing that's a little frustrating is that the pieces of food are way to big for any cat, so I have to cut them up into little pieces before feeding them-- which is not such a big I have been feeding my cats Iams for about 3 years.

Flavor Fail
By 2cats1home on Apr 11, 2021
I have two cats. One was not that interested in the Chicken flavor so I tried Salmon. He won’t touch it. I’ve tried different consistencies, different temperatures, made some wet and crumbled some dry on top, but he sniffs and walks away. It’s such an expensive food and great ingredients, so I’m bummed he won’t eat it.
