This Dog Food is Off the Hook!

Would your dog like the taste of raw, wild Alaskan salmon and raw, naturally raised beef as well as organic cranberries, spinach, broccoli and beets? Kelly recently sampled this, in Stella & Chewy's new Surf 'N Turf freeze-dried dinner, a sample bag kindly provided to us by Stella & Chewy's.

The food comes in medium-sized, round patties. You can add water to reconstitute, or use as is.

When I opened the bag, it smelled clearly of fish; a flavor Kelly isn't familiar with, but she was attracted to right away.







The inspiration for Stella & Chewy's frozen and freeze-dried dinners arose when Marie Moody rescued Chewy from an animal shelter. Chewy had serious health problems. After Marie began feeding him a natural, raw diet, Chewy (along with his pal Stella) thrived.


There is no doubt that Kelly loved this meal. I tried the food both reconstituted and dehydrated, and Kelly enjoyed it both ways.


















Best of all, check this out. Stella and Chewy's:
is free of grain.
is free of fillers.
is free of artificial p
reservatives or colorings.
uses raw, natural meat, poultry or fish from USDA-inspected facilities.
uses organic fruits and vegetables.
uses products without added hormones or antibiotics.
is produced
with SecureByNature(TM) technology--designed to eliminate threat of harmful bacteria, while retaining the food's nutrient value and flavor.
is tested by an indepen
dent laboratory before packaging.

A 6oz bag contains about 12 patties and costs approximately $11.99. For very small dogs, feeding recommendations is 2 patties/day. For a dog Kelly's size, feeding recommendations is 8. I would find this cost prohibitive on my budget. However, instructions suggest larger dogs use as a mixer or topper for dry food.

** Kelly gives this product 4 paws up, and a happy tail wag too.

Welcome to Dog Food Month

I am a person who sometimes struggles with believing something is positive... and acting upon that belief. For example, I believe in saving the environment, yet I still sometimes use paper towels and drink out of disposable plastic water bottles.

I realize the same is true when it comes to my pet's food. I believe in feeding the healthiest, wholesome ingredients. And yet, sometimes I buy what I have a coupon for or what is handy. And then I also realized, I don't fully understand what is healthy and what I should feed my dog.

So, I decided to devote this entire month to dog food, and learning all I can about it. I welcome your insight, comments and personal experiences. Please leave a comment or DM me if you'd like to contribute a post. Upcoming posts will feature guest blogs, product reviews, book reviews, and reports on natural and holistic food, obesity, vegetarian food, raw food and more. Please join us right here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in May for dog food week.

How about you? What do you feed your dog, and why?
