Meowllo everypawdy. As ya’ know we’s been re-workin’ our days and postys here. We now have Service Cats Monday, Chaplain Dezi’s Blest Sunday’s, and then nuffin’. We also regularly write postys on Wednesdays and Furidays, but we don’t have a name to give ‘em yet. And why is dat? Well cuz we do write reviews, but not enuff to give them their own day each week. And we write update posty’s and VET postys, but fankfullly not nearly enuff to even give them a day a month. Raena would Amen dat, big time. So fur now you’re just gonna get a toss up Wednesday and Furiday till we figger it all out. And today’s gonna be one of those reviews.
As most of ya’ know we’re Chewy Influencers and they send us a couple purroducts every month to try out and tell you all ‘bout. Well when we got our box this month we couldn’t wait to jump right in. Some of you may ‘member me’s little health scare a little over a year ago and da subsequent nom changes mommy made ‘round here. She’d like me and Raena to be eatin’ a totally raw diet, but me’s just not ready fur dat yet, so we’s eat da next bestest thing, freeze dried raw.

So when mommy opened da box and we saw a bag of Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose freeze dried cat food, we thought it was dinner time. Furst let me tell ya’ a little ‘bout da freeze dryin’ purrocess. Freeze dryin’ locks in vital proteins, vitamins, minerals, natural enzymes and amino acids dat us kitties need. It also locks in da flavor so dat it still tastes furesh. Let’s see what da Chewy website says ‘bout Stella and Chewy’s freeze dried cat food.

Well we don’t see any of those questionable ingredients dat so many worry ‘bout and avoid. And maybe a couple little known facts ’bout an ingredient or two. Did you know dat parsley also helps with bad breath? And punkin’ seeds are pawrt of a natural de-wormer. Me knows all ’bout dat one cuz mommy used it with me when me was a baby. Anyways, da noms also come in several flavors and a doggy furmula too. And they recently started makin’ it available in several sizes. We received da 9 ounce bag, but it’s also available in a 3.5 oz. 12 oz. and 18 oz. bag dat we have on auto ship. Purrice ranges from $8.99 to $35.99 and this is a complete and balanced meal fur all life stages. So let’s get to da tastin’ and testin’.
Straight outta da bag, no water added.
As you know, we always tell da truth, so dat bein’ said, we already eat Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose freeze dried dinner on a regular basis. It can be fed straight outta da bag, da way we like it, or with added water or broth. Da little nuggets are soft and mommy says there’s a small bone in each peace almost. She knows dat cuz she has to break each piece in half fur me. Yes, we are entirely too spoiled. But mommy says she wouldn’t have it any other way. Anyways, me luvs Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose. Sometimes me will pick it outta da plate and eat it furst. So me gives it a full four paws up.
(Dezi yells over her shoulder) Raena!!! Do you wanna tell everypawdy what you think ‘bout da noms?
(Raena running down the hall) Yes Sissy, fank you. I’s was in da pawdee box. Oh Catness, we’s already here. Ya’ll just ignore dat furst pawrt. (stretches paws and claws and clears throat) Well I’s luv da duck, duck, goose noms. I’s always pick ‘em outta da plate and eat those nuggets furst. They fur sure get a 4 paws up from me. And me luvs how mommy calls us to dinner. She says, “Come on girls it’s time for some duck, duck, gooooooooose.”
Yeah Raena, mommy can be silly sometimes can’t she?. And speakin’ of mommy, let’s ask her what she thinks ‘bout da Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose noms.
Thank you girls. I like that it’s nutritious, good for you, doesn’t contain a lot of questionable ingredients, is made here in the USA, and most of all that ya’ll like it. The morsels are very soft and therefore we often get a bag that has a lot of crushed pieces that look a bit like sawdust. Altho’ this would be fine for kitties who eat it with water or broth mixed in (would mix up much like a pate’ food), it means waste for us. Since ya’ll won’t eat it with water or broth we need the nuggets to be intact. Thankfully, Chewy has amazing Customer Service and always makes it right. So I give Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose dinner 2 thumbs up. I would like to mention that there has been some talk about Stella and Chewy recalls. I did some research on this and found only a few recalls and that Stella and Chewy’s voluntarily issued those. I feel completely safe giving this food to you girls.
I think I skip the duck-duck-goose this time, Dezi and Raena, you know I’m a fishy cat, but I am glad you enjoyed the treats 🙂 Pawkisses for a Delicious Meal 🙂 ❤

Yum, they sound delicious. But I has no toothies (nope – none at all), so M is stuck giving me mostly soft wet food. I would probably like them tho if I could chew them.

You two make these noms sound really delicious! I think Manna and Dexter would enjoy this food. They like to sit on our balcony and dream about chasing the ducks below. A food like this would give them their opportunity to have some yummy duck! I didn’t know about pumpkin seeds being a dewormer. That is really interesting!

Yep awnty Robin, we think most kitties would luv this. And da punkin’ seed thing is somethin’ mommy learned in her naturopathy studies and used fur me’s tapeworm when me came here. Me was too small, young and sick fur da tapeworm pill, so mommy had to treat me naturally. Fank catness she did too.
Luv ya’
