Common questions about Stella & Chewy's
Is Stella & Chewy's raw food safe?
Uses high-pressure processing (HPP) for pathogen reduction, which makes it among the safer commercial raw options. March 2015 recall was for listeria in freeze-dried dinners — limited scope. HPP-treated raw is meaningfully lower-risk than non-HPP raw. That said, raw food carries inherent pathogen risk even with HPP; households with immunocompromised family members should consider cooked alternatives.
Are Stella & Chewy's freeze-dried patties expensive?
Yes — freeze-dried raw is one of the most expensive categories in pet food, running $8-15 per pound. Often used as a meal topper rather than a complete replacement for this reason. Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers line is specifically positioned as an affordable-topper way to add freeze-dried raw to an existing kibble diet.
