Our read The ingredients

Chicken, organ and bone do the real work

Signature feature

95% chicken, organs, bone

High protein, low carb to keep pets lean

Stella & Chewy's says

What it is Chicken with ground bone, liver and gizzard, the first three ingredients, freeze-dried and milled into a powder. Pumpkin seed, produce, probiotics and vitamins make up the other 5%.

Our grade

  1. Marketing
  2. Modest
  3. Meaningful

Meat, liver and gizzard run first to third and drive the numbers: carbs sit at less than half the freeze-dried topper average. The lean promise is weaker, since fat outweighs protein as a calorie source.

Meaningful A real difference for the dog eating it.

Cranberries, carrots and blueberries, the produce the pack profiles, share the last 5% with seeds, probiotics and vitamins. Color more than nutrition.

  • 5 Organic Cranberries
  • 9 Organic Carrots
  • 11 Organic Blueberries

    No, a topper

    Stella & Chewy's sells it as a daily sprinkle over dinner. Use it on top of a complete food, not in place of one.

  2. Is it a high-protein food?

    Yes

    Protein runs above the average freeze-dried topper we list, 50.5% against 44.8% on a dry basis, with chicken, liver and gizzard supplying it.

Dogs on a complete kibble that need a nudge to eat, and owners who want chicken and organ in the bowl.
Skip it for
Dogs allergic to chicken, dogs on a low-fat diet or with a history of pancreatitis, and dogs needing weight loss.

Similar recipes from other brands

Other topper recipes with the closest protein, fat and starch as fed, the way the bag prints them. Prescription diets are left out.

One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
