Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Dinner Morsels - Premium Chicken Recipe with 98% Cage-Free Meat & Organs - Natural Grain-Free Cat & Kitten Food - Made in USA - 3.5 oz

My cat isn’t typically picky- we found him as a kitten in a Disneyland parking lot, so he’s kind of a laid back, carefree guy who will eat almost anything (he loves turkey legs and churros, but that’s not sustainable). The problem is, nothing excited him, food-wise. He always seemed to be intensely bored with both his kibble and his wet food lol. The only thing that ever interested him was when we opened of a can of tuna, and we know that’s not good for him. Getting home from In n Out the other day, I watched as my cat strolled over to his bowl, maintaining eye contact with me the entire time (maybe glancing at the bag in my hand for emphasis), and the look on his face very clearly said, “In n Out? Seriously? But for me this kibble stuff AGAIN? What. Ever.” So I decided to look for something that would give him some food joy, and $10 was definitely not too much to spend in my quest. SHOCKING results. Like you know when you order something weird on Amazon and you can imagine both the best and the worst possible outcomes? This was the best possible- plus a rainbow and a unicorn. My cat LOVES this food. He is sitting outside of my bedroom door right now staring at me, something he hasn’t done a lot since he was young (don’t miss it that much tbh), waiting for his breakfast. He also follows me to the kitchen, tries to redirect me if I get distracted, and puts both paws up on the cupboard door and talks to me when he knows I’m rehydrating the chicken. I obviously can’t be certain, but I think what he’s saying is, “It’s about time! Real food! thank you thank you thank you! I love you so much!” Is this magic? Totally worth $10! We put a few in water and let them sit for a minute, then use a fork to break them up to a consistency that looks a lot like cooked ground turkey. If there’s extra water, my cat thinks it’s gravy, and he laps that up, which is also good for hydration. No smell! I believe some people felt the price was too high, but we only use 3 or 4 of the nuggets for our huge beast of a cat. Once re-hydrated, we mix it with his kibble to help slow down his eating (because he was totally scarfing this stuff at first). The $10 bag has lasted a week, and there’s plenty left. This is one of those purchases I felt obligated to write a review for, because the world is a really stupid place, and we all need to stick together and share the genuinely good (not being paid to say that, I have no stake in this), just really good, stuff :) :)

Pricey but recommended by my Ragdoll breeder. My cats really enjoyed these mixed into their dry food and as treats. High quality pet food.

I have 3 outside cats and I have been feeding them canned Fancy Feast gravy lovers grilled food. They enjoyed it, but I wanted to switch them over to something healthier and natural without fillers, by-products etc. Raw seemed the way to go and since the freeze dried is more convenient and has just about the same nutritional profile as fresh raw, I thought I’d give Stella & Chewy’s a try. I started them out with two morsels for each of them mixed in with their regular wet food. I added a little extra warm water to soften the morsels. They ate it with no problem. I slowly increased the amount of the freeze dried food over the next two weeks so that they were eventually each having 1/3 of a 3 oz can of wet mixed with 16 morsels for each of them 2x’s daily (so each cat was getting 2/3 can of wet and 32 morsels per day divided into two meals). I noticed they were leaving food in the dish, but on closer inspection, what they were leaving were the flakes of “meat” from the canned food and not the freeze dried. When I removed the canned, they licked the dishes clean. I’ve been giving them the turkey and the pork and they enjoy them both.

My cats love these. I don't feed it to them exclusively because it's too expensive, but it's great as a topper on their wet food or mixed in with their dry food. Very good quality food and my cats like it. I gave it a 4 only because of the cost. Wish it were not so expensive. It's extremely difficult buying quality, premium cat food these days because the prices are outrageous. I want to feed my cats the best, but it really breaks the bank. I make their own food now with real chicken, beef, turkey, etc. It costs a fraction of commercial canned/dry food and so much better for them, but I still purchase premium cat food as a back up.

Just as for humans, eating crap food causes health issues. Eating a clean proper diet keeps the body healthier. My kitties are 16 years old & still do 5 a.m. zoomies. No health issues tho one is losing her teeth & she LOVES this pureed with canned food. The cost of clean healthy food is less than disease & doctor bills comparatively. Also, the amount fed is less because there aren't fillers & my babies are still satiated with smaller meals. Thank you Stella & Chewy :-)

My cat is obsessed with this Stella & Chewy’s salmon and cod recipe. Every time I open the bag, she comes running. It’s healthy, great for both kittens and adult cats, and the freeze-dried morsels are easy to eat. Her coat looks better, her energy is up, and she never leaves a single piece behind. Great quality and totally worth it.

Food is good but it was crushed in shipping. It was literally like dust when I opened it. Need to ship it properly. Should send it in a box but it came in a brown envelope so obviously it was completely crushed.

My cats love the beef flavor!!!! My cats also love the chicken but the turkey, not so much. I haven’t bought the other flavors yet. I wish this wasn’t so pricey as my cats love it. I do hydrate it but it took about 3 minutes to make sure it had soak the water like a sponge as I wanted my 5 cats to get all the liquids they need as they are on an all wet food diet. It’s also great crushing it with my hand and sprinkling it on top or mixing it on their wet food. One of my cats even drinks the leftover “broth” that it creates after they are all the soaked up the pieces. When I give them the pieces, I find that it’s easier for them to eat it when you cut it in half with a fork. I included a photo comparing its size to the treats. Once moistened, it doesn’t change in size but it does get softer. It’s easier to cut it in half when it’s a bit dampened by the water. I will get more but only with a discount as this is very pricey. I wished I bought more when it was on a discount but I don’t know how much they would like it. I also store it in plastic containers as my cats can smell it from the original bags that it comes in and they try to bite the bag to get through the food.
