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, 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.

Changed my cat for the better, worth the $
By rensdad on Jan 9, 2020
Since switching to feeding my cat Stella & Chewy's for breakfast every day (she still gets Merrick for dinner), I've noticed the following: An increase in appetite (more motivated to eat at a fixed time), an increase in energy (more active/playful), and a shinier coat. A decrease in odor when eliminating--her box is in my bedroom (thanks tiny NYC apts) and I no longer notice when she uses the loo--, as well as a decrease in weight (she was a bit chunky but has been more active/is on this better diet). -- As a young man on a strict budget the price for the amount of food was difficult for me to be comfortable with at first, but I know I like to eat good, so I prioritized my pet's health and Since switching to feeding my cat Stella & Chewy's for breakfast every day (she still gets Merrick for dinner), I've noticed the following: An increase in appetite (more motivated to eat at a fixed time), an increase in energy (more active/playful), and a shinier coat.

Also, I only feed it for one out of two meals a day, so it's not terrible financially speaking. Since seeing so much positive change with my cat, I recommend this food to all cat-parents I meet. … more

The BEST freeze dried raw food ever!
By Desi on Jan 23, 2020
I can’t recommend this high quality freezes dried cat food enough! I have a Bengal whom I rescued that was just three yrs old at the time. They require and do best on a raw diet. However he wasn’t raised that way and preferred what I call junk food; cheap wet canned cat food. I know cats have lived on it forever and for some it will suffice. However, if you care about the type of nutrition your pet gets, and want a food that they will eat....Stella and Chewy’s is it! On top of it, the transition was super easy. My cat liked it immediately. Check it out, read about it. This food is absolutely excellent!

Great add on!
By Poohbah on Jan 25, 2020
My cat is a horrible eater. She only eats what she got at the shelter and only part of that food. I wanted to feed her “organic” food, the Best of the Best. But she would have none of that. I decided to at least add something better to her food. Now I crush one of the Stella & Chewy morsels in her food. She does not know it is mixed in and I feel better that she gets at least some nutritional food. Since doing this I think her coat is shinier and she plays more. It could be my imagination, but I feel better about her food. “Chewy people are the Best!!!

My cats love it!
By CatMom on Jan 15, 2020
I’ve only been using Stella and Chewy as a topper for my cats regular dry food for about a month and they love it. The first day they were unsure if they liked it, but they now expect me to top their bowls every morning. I crush the pellets up because they’re too big for them to eat and I make sure they have plenty water nearby. I’ve tried giving them Stella and Chewy the rehydrated way, but one will not touch it and the other will only eat the top and not the rest of her food. My only problem is I can’t afford to feed them solely this as they’re dry food. Overall, it’s great! My cats are older and since starting them on this a month ago I’ve seen a little improvement in their activity and the I’ve only been using Stella and Chewy as a topper for my cats regular dry food for about a month and they love it.

Love, but this time :(
By trixii on Jan 9, 2020
I have seen a HUGE difference in my cats overall well being, coat, potty box, everything since we switched to a raw diet 8 months ago. As a rule, we both prefer Stella and Chewy brand. I've been ordering all flavors for months, Salmon & Chicken this time was hard as a rock; I could barely crush/crumble with my hand and even tried hydrating with water- it took about 3 hours, unfortunately...there wasn't a silca/moisture absorber in the pack this time, maybe that had something to do with it....overall we do love the food though!

Cat loves it; I don't
By Judith on Jan 16, 2020
My only objection to this particular flavor is the strong fish odor when the bag is opened and the nuggets are rehydrating. That said, my cat loves it. I use all of their flavors except rabbit (read some negative reviews of that flavor, and it's too expensive to try and then toss if he refuses to eat it). My 9-month old kitten has thrived on Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried food.

Cats approved!
By captain on Dec 18, 2019 Top 250 Contributor
All 3 of my cats from age 1-5 years love the little biscuits. I am not a raw feeder so I use it as a supplement to their meals. It does take awhile to soak and soften the nuggets but the cats ate them with no probs. I prefer without water because it forces the cats to use their jaw muscles and teeth (They eat canned food with a little kibble). Each gets 2 nugget mixed with their food, twice a day, and they want more. The aroma of the nuggets smells very good, similar to dried squid. The only complaints I have would be the bag. It does not reseal well. And it is pricey, so may be a challenge for those who wants to feed complete raw diets.

This brand is amazing
By Aria on Jan 19, 2020
I have a cat who will only eat this as it comes. She will not touch it if I add water or crumble it. Her teeth are great and she is very healthy. When my dog was sick I gave him the dog version of stella and chewys and I really think it extended his life! Such an amazing product. 4 out of 5 of my cats go crazy for it.

train your cat to eat it and it’s worth it!
By Abbs on Jan 12, 2020
I tried a few types and flavors but cats have addictive personalities so it’s hard to change foods at times. Mine is a carb lover and is obsessed with her kibble. I tried hard to transition her to eat as well as my dogs but she refused... So it’s now being used as treats for my dogs since it’s easy to cut into perfect training snack sizes!

She Just Can't Get Enough Of It!
By NoraandRoisin on Dec 24, 2019
I was so relieved to find something that our 14-3/4 yr. old, toothless Abby would eat with enjoyment. Roisin, pronounced Ro-sheen, which means little rose is a 6 lb. red Abyssinian. She is a very picky princess of a girl who has finally found in Stella&Chewy's, a food she truly loves. It has improved both her health and her temperament. Hooray!
