Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Dinner Morsels - Premium Beef Recipe with 98% Grass-Fed Meat & Organs - Natural Grain-Free Cat & Kitten Food - Made in USA - 3.5 oz

I don’t usually write reviews, but I am really amazed with this food. Please read till the end as I will also explain what I have noticed. I have an EXTREMELY picky cat who refuses wet food. I’ve tried to transition her twice, and each time has failed. I started giving my cats Stella and Chewys raw coated kibble (chicken) first, and top it with two of these. It has been a week, and now my picky cat is eating it with added water in the food bowl, which is HUGE because she has always refused anything wet. I believe this will get her to eventually transition to wet canned foods.lastly, my cats are acting like they are kittens again and being lovey and extremely playful. They have so much more energy which is visibly noticeable. Stella & Chewys is QUALITY food. It is also safe from the bird flu (you can read more on their processing on their website) I had to take my cats to an appointment recently, and their labs were absolutely perfect. I know cats are healthier on wet food and that is ideal, but if I had to pick a dry food, or a food to transition with, this is the one. I hope this brand continues for a long time because I definitely will be using their wet food down the line.

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 :) :)

The verdict is in. Our sweet, Ragdoll CoCo loves your cat food. I placed another order today along with treats. When our CoCo is happy, we are happy for him. Taste, obviously he likes it because he cleans his dish out. Smell...he's the judge on that, and he knows the minute I open the bag, he comes racing into the kitchen. I think the quality is excellent and we are pleased with the ingredients in this freeze dried product. It appears to be much healthier for him and without those nasty fillers. This is my third time ordering so my review speaks loudly. Great food for our CoCo.

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.

These are one of my cats favorite tasting wet food toppers. They are freeze dried so I would recommend to feed them as a treat or with wet food for some moisture. I got this on sale and it was a great value. The ingredients are great and I would highly recommend two other cat owners who feed freeze dried food.
