Stella & Chewy’s Freeze-Dried Raw Chewy’s Chicken Meal Mixers Dog Food Topper, 18 oz. Bag (FDCM-18)

First i want to say omg!!
Now let me start from the beginning … I have a bichon fris that i ended up with by watching for a friend and 7 years later he’s still with me .. So since i first started watching him 7 years ago, he always would rub his nose against the floor like he was trying to bury his bowl of food , well eventually he would eat it . Well as the years have gone by he still does this nose thing and it’s gotten worse to where he does it for sooooooo long before he eats and it’s really annoying cause he pushes his food bowl across the kitchen floor with his nose and spills food sometimes and sometimes runs it into his water spilling water everywhere .. 7 years .. He’s done this .. I have done many researches to wonder why he did it .. From teeth hurting to not liking his food to just a habit he formed nobody knew why he did it and nobody had a real answer…not even his vet.. All assumptions!
Well let me tell you i have been researching dog food the last few days more then anything! My bichon is now 12 years old ( got him when he was about 5) i’ve been really concerned about him staying with me longer because i love him so much .. I know i should of done this long ago but this is my first dog .. Idk about what u should feed your dog except “no human food”. Feeding my dog .. Just dog food was what i thought was safe and ok.
Let me be one to tell u .. This is me learning as i go!
After doing research on dog food i’ve learned that a lot of dog food is not good for our dogs.. And i decided to get him the good stuff and i came across this freeze dried dog food that is very close to dr marty’s that i watched on a video .. But this stuff is a bit cheaper but pretty much the same thing so i gave it a shot . I recieved this product yesterday added a little water to it smooshed it with his new dog food i switched to ( some cold raw meats made for dogs that’s all good stuff too ( watch dr marty’s video to teach u about dog food) stellas is just as good if not better ! Dr marty just has a video explaining about stuff idk if stellas does or not. Anyway so i mixed stellas freeze dried with his dog food and at first he was a little bit weird to it and didn’t touch it but after an hour he walked up to it and didnt rub his nose on the floor .. He just ate it and ate it and ate it .. Bowl was bone clean! Wtf?? My dog never left a bowl clean it was a very rare moment if he did .
Next day which is today i’ve fed him twice doing the same thing and both times he ate today no nose rubbing on the floor before eating.. And bowl is bone clean!! Omg omg omg!
Stella .. It’s a miracle my dog loves his food he doesn’t even do the nose thing .. This means it doesn’t hurt his teeth this means he likes it .. This means it wasnt a habit he formed! This means that this is the good stuff dr marty was talking about !! ( i know because all the things dr marty told me in his video to look for in dog food , stellas had it .. And all the bad stuff to look out for stellas didn’t have it ! So i know it’s the good stuff!
I never ever thought i would see this day , my dog is happy he is really happy and i see it!
I’m just a plain customer wanting to share my joy of happiness with anyone who wants to try stellas .. Don’t not give it a try .. Just try a small bag to give it a whirl i promise u won’t regret it !! You will be amazed ! Def best for picky eaters !
Stella u were sent from up above thank you so much!! !! My dog thanks you!

I’m sure some people have a dog like one of mine. My small dog is the pickiest eater on the planet. She won’t eat breakfast. Ever. She has four choices of dry food out at all times. Half the time she will eat her wet food, and she has a variety of wet food, and half the time she won’t eat her wet food. But the one thing she will always eat is this. So i give up and i just decided to give her 10 of these so she has something in her stomach every morning. She has never let one go uneaten! She also loves the discs that they have and the weenies. But she likes these better than the weenies. I bought other meal additives and she doesn’t like any of them. This is reasonably priced and i’m happy i found some thing that she will eat in the morning. She eats dinner at night, but i want her to eat something when she wakes up and i recommend these. I wanted to showcase pictures of what you see in the bag. I saw some other videos and i have not received anything like a couple videos i saw. Maybe they got a bad batch. I’ve been buying these for at least one year and i haven’t received one bad batch from this brand in several different types of products. I hope this review helps.

My dog thinks i have a new kind of treat. This is an easy way for your pet to enjoy something good hor them without any of things don’t want to have. No fillers, no grain and nothing artificial added to this do your pet a favor and try this.

So these are for my dogs when they go outside and come back in they get a little treat! Well once the kittens smelled them, all kitten hell broke out! They are insane for these and will fight you to the death for their scrap. They’re 8 weeks old and know what they like…step aside doggies!

My mini schnauzer & 5 lb morkie are very pick eaters!
They had a play date come spend the night who ate this & of course they were curious.
They gobbled it up.
I’ve been feeding it to them going on my 3rd bag now & they eat every last bite’
just try it mixed with your dry.

I like stella & chewy products cause my dog is allergic to chicken and they will clearly state on the front of the package ‘no chicken’ i’ve never had any stella & chewy product she didn’t like. These were quite a bit stinky for me but she loved them.

My dog refuses to eat any of his prescription canned food unless i crumble up and mix a few of these in. If i try to trick him he sniffs it then sits to wait for me to add them!

Easy to store plus my 17 year old dog has really responded with much more energy, very easy on senior dogs

My boxer allergic to chicken by product and this product is great. No itchy skin issues. I add to her regular dog food by crumbling up about ten pieces. She gobbles it down quickly…always fresh and comes in zip lock heavy bag which helps keep the freshness.

My yorkies love 1 on they’re breakfast and dinner crunchies.. It took years to find something that ‘wasn’t’ wet food that they would devour! They don’t like the beef.. We had to give those away lol

My dogs love this and i’ve been ordering it for awhile now, but today when i received it through amazon, it was loose kibble, not chunks like normal. I’m disappointed in this fact.

Great product but definitely too expensive

Broke up a few of the chicken chunks & scattered in my picky dogs kibble good & she loved it!

It smells awful but my dog loves it!

Used to top wet food when we travel and cannot feed our dog his usual raw meal(s). Also use as treat. Dog loves as part of his meal or as a treat.

I used to feed raw food to my dogs but got away from it when my largest dog developed an allergy to chicken which was 1⁄2 of my recipe. Been feeding acana dry foods which they like but still wanted to do something that was closer to raw for a topper. Stella & chewy is readily available in stores and on amazon so i decided to try it. The dogs were intrigued and ate up every morsel of their food even though the canned food is no longer present. They like these dry nuggets so i don’t even bother soaking them first. It makes it easier to feed and i feel i am giving them something close to raw. Win-win…..i did four stars because a $41 dollar bag only lasts 11 days…….pretty costly for a topper for 3 dogs; one is 125 lbs; one is 50 lbs; and one doesn’t even count at 4 lbs.

My dog loves freeze dried topper/mixer except this brand. He will eat it once and then refuse, which is a waste of money but i’m not convinced it’s more of a waste than a pack of nulo which is 3x as expensive that he gobbles up within a few days. He’s the cutest goodest boi though so i’m gonna keep buying the fancy pants brand. Wish i knew why he didn’t like this, it seems solid

We use this as a meal enhancer… Our dog loves it so much she tries to eat through the other food to get to this. It’s a little pricey so you should break up the pieces and mix it in with your normal food.

I have a boston terrier puppy that just turned one. He was really into his plain kibble until one day he wasn’t anymore. My pet store recommended this product in the size down that was about $20 each. I was finding that i was going through 2 of those per month, so i decided to have these bigger bags added to my amazon auto-delivery monthly and it was worked great. We do modify it though to make it last longer because my genius realized he can just pick the chunks out – i pulverize handfuls of the chunks at a time and turn it into a dust that i mix into the kibble. I realize they sell a dust version, but i believe this lasts longer and i’m able to keep track of 3-5 chunks per meal and make it last a month.

So far the chicken turns into a fine dust the easiest. Pork and beef are not as fine of a dust, but can still be crushed down. Overall, the chicken goes best for us!

I also would recommend this as healthier treats because my pup seems to like running off with a full chunk. Not sure how that stacks up $-wise in comparison to let’s say zuke’s one-bite training treats, but might be a good healthy option!

These are nice treats. They really are too expensive for me to use on a regular basis. But they have really helped out with getting my dog to eat food and take medications after her recent surgery. I have broken them to some chunks/powder on her chow, dissolved some in water to get her to drink water, and made wet food with her chow and ground up pieces of these and given her pills in that. As a few other reviewers have noted, i did find a larger piece of bone in one. But given i have been grinding them up before putting in food and water, i was able to detect it before it went into any dog food. I would not hesitate to get these again for a post surgical dog, or a dog that is otherwise refusing medication. My dog loves them. I would always crumble them in case there is any bone fragment in there. I gave them 4 stars because they have really saved me in this situation. I did not give 5 stars because of cost. You need to put several of these in a bowl of chow. Number depends on how much chow. It is just cost prohibitive to do on a regular basis.
