Stella & Chewy's - Our Fans

This is my 12.5 year old Brittany Mix Calvin. He has always been a high energy dog with lots of personality. He would run for hours and never seem to run out of energy. Then, last year he partially tore his ACL, and was in tough shape. He was too old for surgery, so we hoped pain and joint medication would help him recover. But, we realized that he was now an old dog. Then about 4 months ago a friend introduced us to Stella and Chewy food. He absolutely LOVES the food. He will now RUN to his food dish and gobble down his meals! Then he started having more energy, and his coat suddenly became smoother and shinier! He was a new dog. We couldn't quite put a finger on what was happening to him, but he was a puppy and full of energy once again! When my sons and I tried to explain what was different in his life, we went through his days, weeks, months, and then pulled out his bag of Stella and Chewy food. His ACL has even healed well and his vet has said it is amazingly stronger. Well, we can't be sure your food has given us a happy and healthier dog, but that is exactly what we have.

I am sending this email because roughly two months ago, my eldest dog, a Australian Shepherd mix, who will be turning 14 in June, was diagnosed with a tumor around 12 pounds in her abdomen cavity. When I found out, I took her off traditional dry dog food, since cancer usually feeds off of the grains that are in many dry dog foods.

I experimented with many different raw diets, and your product was the best. As of today, she is doing great, she has energy, has lost some of her excess weight, and each day she can't wait for her dinner. She actually gets going enough every day that she wants to play with my other dogs. I would have to say that I think she has more energy now, then before we knew the tumor was there.

I believe that your companies food has helped her make it through that last couple of months, and I hope that she continues to stay on the path that she is currently on.

My doggie Manning has been in love with your food since he was barely 1 lb. He eats it right up! The cutest thing is when I say "Do you want Stella--?" he goes MAD!! jumps and rolls around like a mad dog - I can't even say Chewy -- just Stella and Manning knows exactly what's coming.
Your story, your passion, and your commitment is truly inspiring. Commercial pet food today is just scary. I read up on all the recalls, and lack of integrity of several different large pet food companies to a point where I was terrified. That's when I researched Stella and Chewy's - your food and safety practices, the hydrostatic high pressure process, and the ingredients you have and don't have. Thank you for making a food that all doglovers can trust!

I started feeding my younger dog Peyton Stella and Chewy's raw chicken patties at the advice of a friend. He was a very picky eater and I could barely get him to finish one meal a day, no less two. Well now he waits at the counter for his food and eats every last drop. His coat is shiny and he looks awesome. My two older dogs, Remi and Spencer, both eat the same and the difference in their coats and energy levels is amazing. Remi is 13 and Spencer is 11 and I have seen an immediate difference. Thanks for a great product.

My Chihuahua "Chimichanga" was itching herself raw each day. After numerous skin and blood tests, a comprehensive allergy test told us she had a food allergy. I had to switch her to a hypo-allergenic diet of rabbit, venison, and duck meats. Chimichanga LOVES the Carnivore Crunch duck treats, and after a few weeks on the new diet, she is no longer itchy, and I don't have to use the dangerous and powerful steroid pills that the vet prescribed!

I have a very picky dachshund, like so many other small breeds. I think I have at least 5 different kinds of dog food in bags sitting in my cupboard and an equal amount of canned food there as well. This first year of feeding our little guy, Lowen, has been a challenge. There are any number of good foods, some holisitic, some not...out there and believe me, we have tried them all.

Thank heavens our local specialty pet center where we go for “playgroup”, carried and suggested Stella & Chewy’s. It was love at first taste for Lowen! He does really well with lamb, so we started out with the Freeze-Dried Lamb steaks. He thought they were treats and was trying to eat it right out of my hand. I’ve never seen him act like this when it came to dog food. He gobbled it right up!

He has been on this diet for about a month now and it’s heavenly. Each and every meal time he dives right in to his dish of food. He loves it! Thanks heavens for your product. Keep up the good work and the great product!

I’ve been searching since I got my puppy for a way to help her get better. Due to both a bacterial infection and a giardia infection my puppy had to be on extended antibiotics. So I’ve been searching for certain things in a food: one that she will actually eat, one that helps her feel better and, preferably, one that includes probiotics. I’ve tried a lot. Finally when I switched to raw, I saw a gigantic improvement in willingness to eat and energy level, but I had to slightly increase her antibiotics, suggesting to me that she was not successfully fighting all the pathogens in her high quality raw food. Then I found your Duck Duck Goose. And then, to my amazement, I found that your raw food is pathogen free!! I switched my puppy to your food as well and, wow! What a difference! I am so grateful that you offer such a high-quality product.

First and foremost, we completely support the philosophy behind Stella & Chewy’s. We purchase your products because they offer us the very best in life and longevity for our puppy - and because we know that you offer a merchandise mix that has our puppy’s best interest in mind.
We hope that your company is prosperous - but never strays from heart of what makes Stella & Chewy’s the success that it is today. We choose you simply because we know that your mission is driven by what every good parent wants to provide for their dog - life, longevity, health and happiness. It’s what the bigger companies out there don't keep in mind as they perpetuate their profit cycle.
Our puppy, Hugo, loves all of your products (the freeze dried steaks, the raw food, etc.). Thank you for all that you do.
