About Stella & Chewy's
According to the brand's own story, Stella & Chewy's began in 1997, when Marie Moody adopted a dog named Stella from a local animal shelter and then a sick pup named Chewy. On a veterinarian's advice she fed Chewy a raw diet, he recovered quickly, and that experience led her to start a pet nutrition business of her own. The company now makes food and treats for both dogs and cats.
The cat range includes Freeze-Dried Raw Dinner Morsels for Cats and the Meowfulls freeze-dried treats, which come in Chicken & Chicken Liver, Turkey & Duck, and Whitefish & Salmon recipes. The brand states that it never uses artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors in its recipes. On the Chicken & Chicken Liver treat's label, chicken and chicken liver are the first two ingredients, followed by sweet potato, with salmon oil and a dried Bacillus coagulans fermentation product also listed, and the brand lists it as made in the USA.

Stella & Chewy's Meowfulls Freeze Dried Cat Treats - Chicken & Chicken Liver Recipe, 1.5 oz
One of our top picks in our cat training treats reviews. The label gives 1 calorie per treat, which keeps a run of training repetitions small against a cat's daily treat budget. The recipe is freeze-dried chicken and chicken liver, grain-free, with salmon oil and a dried Bacillus coagulans fermentation product on the ingredient panel, and reviewers praise the piece size as quick for a cat to eat between repetitions.
