When to Choose Stella & Chewy's Raw Blend Red Meat
Owners who want the ultimate in palatability with raw-food benefits in kibble form
Stella & Chewy's Raw Blend combines premium kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces — and dogs absolutely love it. The red meat recipe (beef, lamb, venison) is the most palatability-focused food in this comparison. At ~$2.55/day it's the most expensive, but the feeding experience is genuinely premium.
Strengths
- Freeze-dried raw-coated kibble with real beef, lamb, and venison proteins
- Highest palatability in this comparison — dogs consistently prefer it over alternatives
- No corn, wheat, soy, artificial preservatives, or by-products
Limitations
- Most expensive per day at ~$2.55 — the priciest option in this comparison
- 2021 recall of freeze-dried product line (not kibble) is a minor safety note
- Rich red meat formula may cause digestive adjustment for some dogs
