The Stella & Chewy's Raw Blend Kibble Line, Reviewed

11 recipes, read label by label

Raw Blend Kibble is Stella & Chewy's dry food line, and every recipe lists a meat or fish ingredient first. It falls into three families: Wild Red, SuperBlends, and a core set of Cage-Free, Red Meat and Free Range recipes, several of which come in both grain-free and with-grain versions.

Protein runs from 27% to 36% as fed, fat from 14% to 17.5%, and estimated starch from 23.5% to 36%. Chicken, fish and lamb each appear in 5 recipes, and duck, beef, pork and venison in 4. Five recipes are grain free, and the rest use oatmeal and barley. Peas and lentils appear in 3 grain-free recipes, while the two Wild Red recipes use sweet potato and tapioca instead.

Against 1,834 kibbles in our catalog, the line averages 31.1% protein versus 26.9%, 30.5% estimated starch versus 37.4%, and 441 calories per cup versus 395. The trade-off is that a cup carries more calories than the catalog average. The four SuperBlends recipes sit at the low end of the line for protein and the high end for starch, and only one recipe is sold for puppies.

A GOOD FIT FOR
  • Owners wanting more protein than the catalog's average kibble
  • Owners avoiding poultry, with several red meat and lamb recipes
  • Homes wanting grain-free and with-grain choices in one line
WORTH KNOWING
  • Peas and lentils appear in 3 of the 5 grain-free recipes; the two Wild Red recipes use sweet potato and tapioca instead.
  • Fish shows up in some recipes not named for fish, such as SuperBlends Beef & Lamb and the Red Meat recipes, so owners avoiding fish should read the full ingredient list.
  • The Cage-Free, Red Meat and Free Range recipes are labeled All Life Stages, while Wild Red and most SuperBlends recipes are sold for adults.
