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 found this product while searching for a healthier option for my 9 year old Pookie, who was recently treated for pancreatitis. During his vet hospital stay they had a hard time getting him to eat. I brought him home where his appetite improved a little, but he decided he wasn’t going to eat more than a few bites of his old food. I decided to try Stella & Chewy’s Salmon & Chicken (salmon is his favorite food ever). Needless to say, he loved it! We started with small servings and have now worked up to full servings. We have 5 cats and while not all of them love it, it works for the one who needs it. He even pulled the bag off the shelf and tried to open it himself.

Alas, neither of my cats will eat this. I introduced it by mixing three of the nuggets into their regular wet food, with some added water. One would not touch it and the other lapped at it and then walked away. They ate their dry food, but not this. I had the same reaction when I tried only one nugget, and the same reaction with the other freeze-dried flavor. Cannot recommend this - YMMV, though!

It was such a happy day when I discovered these precious lil' nuggets. OK... I know that sounds a bit hyperbolic, but it's not, especially when we all would do 'bout anything to make our lil' furries happy. (You know that's true!) I use to get freeze-dried salmon or chicken nuggets from one of those big pet stores. My kitties loved them... so much so that my one kitty who couldn't go a week without getting dirty & hair tangles, actually tolerated baths knowing he was going to get freeze-dried nuggets of yummy afterwards. Then I discovered Chewy, finding a different brand of protein nuggets - Stella & Chewy's. Their delicious nuggets come in several flavors.

Then I discovered Chewy, finding a different brand of protein nuggets - Stella & Chewy's. Their delicious nuggets come in several flavors. My kitty loves the chicken & the combo chicken & salmon flavors. We tried the duck ones, but that flavor was too alien for her palate & rejected by my wee girl. These nuggets are lifesavers & super treats. When my kitty gets bored with her food, as they all seem to do periodically, I crush & sprinkle them over her wet or dry food. This immediately perks up her taste buds & she gobbles down her meal. I also feed them to her 'as is' just as a special treat. She loves 'em! And I feel really good about serving such a healthy food to her. The directions on the Stella & Chewy's packaging suggest mixing the freeze-dried nuggets with warm water as a meal. I tried that once & it wasn't appreciated by my feline. So I am happy to use these healthy & delicious nuggets as a super treats (in terms of her usual Friskies & Temptations treats) & as a food appetizer, as a cat-version of toasted seasoned bread crumbs over Mac & Cheese. On the financial side of the matter, these nuggets can seem expensive at first. However, you get so many in each bag & the bag lasts much longer than expected. They are sooo worth the reasonable cost. Thanks, Chewy, for caring so many flavors of these tasty bits. Chewy customers: May I suggest that before investing in one of the larger bags, you first order a small bag of a new flavor, rather than assuming your kitty will love all flavors of these nuggets. I assumed incorrectly - lesson learned - & we all know what happens when you 'assume'... … more

We feed our golden Sojos freeze dried and wanted to try something for our kitties because we truly believe adding this to their kibble is beneficial. When I first put some in the bowl and added the water, it was a grey color and I thought.....this doesn't look good, THEY LOVED IT. Every time I mix it for the kitties, our golden comes running over sniffing the air.

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.

One of my cats used to love this Stella & Chewy's flavor. In fact, she loved it so much she wouldn't eat anything else until she finally got sick of it. That was a few years back. I ordered this recently, plus some Primal freeze dried food, and she is eating it again. I also have an 8 year old cat that I have never found a wet food that she likes, and all of a sudden she likes this. And, it's good for them. Cats. Go figure.

I bought this food in order to feed our two cats more healthy, wet food. One of our cats is overweight, and though this isn't a "weight management" food I knew that just like humans, animals can benefit greatly from eating less processed, natural foods. And my cat has lost 1.6 lbs so far. Both of them eat every bit!

When my cat was a kitten, he would eat this food mushed up with no problems. After a few months he turned his nose up to this food and in general everything that did not have gravy. I was a bit annoyed that I had ordered two big bags of Stella and chewys and my cat had decided he no longer wanted to eat any of it. I rotated this food with weruva and nature's Variety so it certainly wasn't because he was tired of the food. I had almost given up hope when I one day decided just to rehydrate and leave the food as it was in morsels. And now he eats it! He pretty much cleans his bowl too. He doesn't like too many pate foods but I know he definitely prefers his food in chunks. So if your cat hates When my cat was a kitten, he would eat this food mushed up with no problems.
