When Tynan was battling his first cancer diagnosis, my vet recommended switching to a raw dog food diet. Tynan's health significantly improved and I continued to feed him a raw diet even after he was cancer free. Fast forward to many years, miles and dogs later. I continue to get raw nutrition into my dogs diet but with three dogs and a lot of traveling, that is not always easy. Tynan taught me how amazingly good raw food is for my dogs and my dogs crave raw meat. Yet when I often travel so light that I only have a bag of trail mix for myself, how can I bring raw food along for the dogs? After recently being introduced to Stella & Chewy's® Meal Mixers and I believe I have a new essential to pack on our pet friendly road trips. Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers are a light, healthy and incredibly easy way to bring my dogs closer to their ancestral diet through a boost of raw food nutrition mixed into the kibble I already pack. |

Before opening the Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers bag, I was impressed by the premium ingredients label. The complement of organic fruits and vegetables listed after nutrient-rich meat organs and bone as well as added probiotics and antioxidant was an unexpected surprise. I learned that all of Stella & Chewy's products including Meal Mixers are grain, gluten, filler, artificial preservative and coloring free and no hormones or antibiotics are added. That kind of healthy, digestible quality dog food is exactly what I prefer to feed my dogs! After scanning the ingredients, I read how much Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers each of my dogs should have with their kibble. The scoop for each dogs weight per day chart is easy to read but how much is "a scoop?" Well, to add to the already simple raw feeding scoop, mix and serve Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers provides, a scoop is included in every bag. I will never have to fear forgetting a dog feeding scoop on a dog friendly road trip again! We tried Chewy's Chicken Meal Mixers for this review but the other protein options available are Stella’s Super Beef, Tantalizing Turkey and Savory Salmon & Cod all available in 3.5, 9 and 18 oz bags.
Three dogs, especially sniffing rough collie Huxley, anxiously anticipate their scoop, mix and serve Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers and kibble filled dishes.

More important than Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers scoop, mix and serve convenience is that the dogs are so excited for the serve part. Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley are in full agreement with the University Wisconsin-Madison taste study showing that 9 out of 10 dogs prefer their kibble with Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers. Evidence that Stella & Chewy's freeze drying process locks in nutrition and flavor comes at each meal time and on every one of our fit dog outings.

When I first started feeding raw food, the vegetarian in me was a little grossed out. But Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers are ready to serve right out of the bag so there is minimal mess and counter contamination worries. Raw food safety measures like serving in stainless steel dishes that are washed after each meal, using disinfectant wipes on the food preparation surface and washing my hands immediately after handling the food and the dishes are essential. Stella & Chewy's also takes raw food safety very seriously. The company uses a test and hold process involving independent third party lab analysis on every batch of food before it leaves their Wisconsin-based manufacturing facility. The test results for every batch are posted on the Stella & Chewy's website for consumers to see. I truly appreciate a company that cares as much about raw dog food safety and the health of my dogs as I do. Every scoop of Stella & Chewy's Meal Mixers is convenient, nutritious and safe.

Stella & Chewy's founder, Marie Moddy, had a similar experience to mine with raw feeding. Marie saw her dog Chewy's significant health problems dramatically improve with a raw diet like I did with Tynan. Now Marie's company, named after her dogs, provides easy raw feeding to canines everywhere, including Tynan's best friend Wilhelm and Wilhelm's buddies, Huxley and Brychwyn.
