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 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.

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.

Live this food. My cat, who is 10-1/2 is like a kitty again after switching to Stella & Chewy Freeze-Dried food, running around the house having the crazy cat fit. I’m so grateful for these products!

We travel a lot so this is great for being on the road. It’s easy to pack and my cats love it both as a kibble and mixed with water. Plus I know they are eating quality food! Highly recommended!

my cats loved this flavor but the pellets stayed extremely hard after soaking in water for over an hour, giving it a second try since my boys loved it so much.

I go between a couple brands of freeze dried raw. Great quality brand, convenient but not really his favorite flavor. He's a chicken guy.

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!!!!

I have been searching healthy food ever since I started reading into the benefits about grain-free, freeze-dried, no meat by products, etc for my cats. I have heard about the benefits about freeze-dried food and how it locks in the nutrients. I gave this to my cats and they loved it! Surprised since my cats are picky but they eat this like nothing. I always mix it with their wet food as a topper.

They steal a quick chunk every time while I prep. Gobble it down and has made a world of difference with my chronically ill cats.

4 cats and one loves this. Mix with water and she hates it. Yes they can eat dry. Be sure they have plenty of water. All vomiting has stopped since kitty can’t swallow whole. 4 cats everyone eats the same dry. But if you can get them on this, it’s the best of the raw foods. If you mix with water they have to eat it within 2 hours. No preservatives, and raw. So no free feeding with this food. Smell is not offensive at all.
