Overview
["This 25 ounce bag of dinner patties is Stella and Chewy's chicken recipe, freeze-dried raw and formulated as a complete meal rather than just a topper. It's grain-free, corn-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and wheat-free, and includes organic ingredients.", "Stella and Chewy's builds in probiotics and omega fatty acids alongside the chicken, and points to skin and coat health, digestion, dental care, and weight management as benefits. The brand specifically calls out appeal to picky eaters as one of the formula's selling points.", "At $59.97 for 25 ounces, it costs more than most bags in this list, but it's also the volume leader by far, with about 5,000 units bought in the past month and over 3,351 reviews holding a 4.4 star average, ranking number 2 in the whole freeze-dried dog food category."]

Performance notes
The patty format is designed to rehydrate into a full meal with water, or be crumbled dry as a topper, which explains why Stella and Chewy's lists so many use cases (appetite stimulation, dental care, digestion, skin and coat, weight management) under one product. The built-in probiotics and omega fatty acids are add-ons on top of the core freeze-dried raw chicken, aimed at supporting digestion and coat condition together.
What buyers say
With over 3,351 reviews at a 4.4 star average and roughly 5,000 units bought in the past month, the demand here dwarfs every other product in this set, consistent with its number 2 overall rank in the freeze-dried dog food category.
Is this a complete meal or does it need to be mixed with other food?
It's formulated as a complete meal on its own, though many owners also use it as a topper over kibble or mix it in for variety.
Does it contain probiotics?
Yes, Stella and Chewy's includes a probiotic blend along with omega fatty acids in this recipe, on top of the core freeze-dried raw chicken.
Is this a good option for a picky eater?
