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.

Lovin It and fighting over it
By OMalley on Mar 10, 2019
I have a 14yr and 4 yr old male cats. The 14 yr gets sick at almost anything he eats leaving land mines all over. They both like Blue Buffalo but since I saw the review about they are misleading on the ingredients I decided to try S&C chicken/salmon. Boy when I opened the bag both went nuts and fought over the food. Either dry or re-hydrated they love it and no more land mines from the older son. The younger even tried to get into the bag to eat more. I had to put it in a food (child) protective container. But even when done they both would complain for more. I am now going to wean them off Blue Buffalo as suggested here.

We tried it
By Marty on Feb 24, 2019
First time I made it, I made too much & kitty wouldn't eat. It's pretty expensive also. So, today, I gave him a couple nuggets on his cookies (kibble) & he ate them. The only recommendation would be trying if you can afford, make a 'small' amount & mix with canned. Or just place the nuggets on wet or dry & see if they eat. The bag had a little cut & I think that may have compromised taste. I didn't contact Chewy about it.

my ferrets Love this
By Libby on Mar 5, 2019
My ferrets have taken right too this. They don't like it reconstituted yet (we are working on that) but they love this stuff and the Chick chick chicken. One of them also likes the duck duck goose. Currently I break the nuggets up and mix it with their Wysong and Orijen. I am working on getting them on freeze dried raw.

No luck with this one
By Cpcp on Feb 23, 2019
I was really excited to try this very healthy all protein food. Sadly my cat wouldn’t eat it. I mixed it with chicken stock, I tried it dry, I mixed it with canned food she liked but nothing helped. I spent $80.00 all together and I couldn’t get her to eat it. I’m sure the product is everything it’s advertised to be but unfortunately my cat would not eat it

Fussy cat likes it
By Birdy on Mar 18, 2019
My fussy former feral cat loves this, but it has to be dry, wont eat it wet not even with bone broth. I always keep plenty of water for him in his fountain. Canned food he just licks the juice off of. I love my cats but they drive me nuts sometimes.

Great brand, cats hate this one.
By LaurenK2820 on Feb 28, 2019
I read mixed reviews on this flavor but decided to try it out anyways. 0 out of 4 cats will touch this one. They love the other flavors we’ve tried so far, but not this one. The good news is that I also have 2 large breed dogs who will eat anything (including rocks if I’d allow it), so it didn’t go to waste. LOL

The cats like it
By Beppy on Apr 8, 2019
We’re just getting started with this. I soak it then mix in a little of their Friskies and most of the six cats will eat it. I know it is good for them so will keep giving it.

Stella & Chewy's
By Cindy on Mar 22, 2019
I was intrigued by this type of food, but worried that our cat would not like it. I was pleasantly surprised when she took to it immediately. It is less messy and more convenient than canned and pouches of wet food.

Great stuff! My kitties gave it 5 stars!
By FatKittyOwner on Feb 16, 2019
My cats wren't picky eaters, so I figured they wouldn't mind this stuff, but they actually LOVE it! I put a spoon of their can food in with it and they eat around the canned food to eat the freeze dry food first! :) They've been eating it for about 2 weeks now and I already see improvements in them. I'm a very happy kitty momma!

My cat refused to eat
By Worriedcatmom on Feb 12, 2019
Honestly, I ordered this item since my cat doesn't seem interested in wet food. She smelled this food and tried to bury it, as if it was cat litter. I think the product is good, but not for my cat. I am glad I only bought the smallest bag since it is just sitting in my cabinet now, waiting to get thrown out. Bummer
