Our read The ingredients
Chicken and oat kibble with a thin raw coat
Signature feature
Freeze-dried raw coating
Made with bone broth and coated with the power & taste of raw
What it is A layer of freeze-dried raw ingredients applied to the outside of the oven-baked kibble. The pieces underneath are a conventional chicken, oat and barley recipe.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The coating goes on after baking, so it skips the oven heat, but the meat inside each piece was still cooked. Its job is mostly appeal, which is how Stella & Chewy's sells it: Great Taste.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Oatmeal and barley sit third and fourth, ahead of the duck in the name. Chicken carries this recipe; duck arrives sixth, after the chicken fat.
- 3 Oatmeal
- 4 Barley
