Our read The ingredients

Beef and organ dust that matches the bag

Signature feature

Beef, organs and bone

95% beef, organs and bone. Freeze-dried raw.

Stella & Chewy's says

What it is Beef, liver, kidney, heart, tripe and bone fill the first six spots, freeze-dried and ground to a powder you shake over the bowl. Pumpkin seed and produce follow.

Our grade

  1. Marketing
  2. Modest
  3. Meaningful

Liver and kidney are dense sources of vitamin A, B12 and copper, and carbs run under half the average freeze-dried topper we list. Your dog gets real organ meat, not a meat-flavored coating.

Meaningful A real difference for the dog eating it.

Pumpkin seed, seven organic fruits and vegetables and fenugreek all fit inside the 5% that isn't beef. The organic produce is a garnish, not a serving.

  • 7 Pumpkin Seed
  • 8 Organic Cranberries
  • 14 Organic Blueberries
  • 15 Fenugreek Seed

Our read The label

A beefy, fatty sprinkle, not a meal

The number

63%

Share of calories from fat, against 31% from protein. Every pinch adds more fat than the meat-first pitch suggests, so count it.
  1. Is it a meal?

    No, a topper

    Stella & Chewy's sells it as a meal topper and a daily sprinkle. Shake it over a complete food; it doesn't replace one.

  2. Is it a high-protein food?

    About average

    Stella & Chewy's calls it high protein, but it sits just under the 45% dry-matter average for freeze-dried toppers we list.

Feed it to
Dogs on a complete food whose owners want beef and organ meat in the bowl without switching diets.
Skip it for
Dogs on a low-fat diet or with a history of pancreatitis, dogs allergic to beef, and owners wanting a full meal.

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.
