Our mission at Stella & Chewy’s has been the same since feeding a raw diet saved the life of Chewy (the beloved rescue dog our founder Marie Moody), in 2003: To help pets & pet parents thrive through the love of raw. Over 20 years later, Stella & Chewy's is still working to help cats and dogs thrive through best-in-class nutrition as the #1 Freeze-Dried Raw Pet Food Brand in the USA.
We are proud to offer a wide array of quality diets and products that you can trust to suit the needs of every dog and cat, but we know it can be difficult to know where to start. That's why we created the "Road to Raw," to help pet lovers like you find what’s right for you and your pet! Whether you're looking to Treat 'em Right, provide Nutritional Support, find a Better Kibble Option, Top their Meal with Raw, or are looking for The Most Convenient Way to Feed an entirely Raw Meal safely, keep reading.
First off: Why Raw?
Our Story began in 1997, when Marie Moody adopted a dog named Stella from a local animal shelter, and shortly after, Marie decided to adopt an older dog named Chewy to be Stella's companion. Not long after Chewy joined the family he became sick, and inadvertently helped write the company’s history. To help with his health issues, Marie took the advice of her veterinarian and began feeding Chewy a raw diet. He quickly recovered and both he and Stella thrived on their new food, leading Marie to pursue her passion for pet nutrition and start her own business – Stella & Chewy’s.
Raw food is packed with nutrients and offers many benefits to promote whole body health because it is formulated to mirror your pet’s ancestral diet. You don’t have to feed a complete raw diet to give your pets awesome raw nutrition! Even a little raw in your dog or cat’s diet goes a long way towards helping them keep a healthy weight, have optimal digestion, shiny coat, cleaner teeth and gums, stronger muscles, bones, joint health, and improved energy. Not to mention, as one of the first makers of raw pet food, Stella & Chewy's has perfected both the art and the science of raw feeding to become the #1 Freeze-Dried Raw Pet Food Brand in the USA.
The Stella & Chewy's Raw Difference:
- Our responsibly single-sourced protein recipes cater to a wide variety of dietary needs, including food sensitivities.
- 85-98% meat, organ & bone with meat as the #1 ingredient to deliver the high protein pets crave.
- Our pet food mirrors your pet's ancestral diet with minimal processing to maintain natural nutrients & flavors.
- Our high-pressure processing (HPP) eliminates harmful bacteria & preserves nutrition.
