Suits these stages
Is the Stella & Chewy's Raw Patties right for your dog?
- Who it’s for
- An old dog who has gone off their dinner — crumble a patty over kibble as an aromatic topper, or rehydrate it as a soft meal.
- Who should skip it
- Your dog has a condition needing controlled protein or phosphorus. That is a prescription diet conversation.
The verdict
The most useful thing we can offer an old dog who has stopped finishing meals, which is the actual problem most owners of seniors are trying to solve. Stella & Chewy's lead their own listing with picky eaters, and describe the patties as usable as a complete meal, crumbled as a topper, or rehydrated with water — the last being the one that matters for a dog with sore teeth or a dulled sense of smell, since warm water releases aroma and softens texture in one step. Ninety-five per cent beef, organs and bone, grain-free, with added probiotics. Owners report enthusiastic eating and split on texture and on digestibility, with some reporting loose stools — introduce it slowly, as with any diet change. It is expensive, which is why the topper approach makes sense: a small amount over familiar kibble.
Drawbacks
- Expensive as a complete diet
- Some owners report loose stools — transition slowly
