Think Foie Gras for Cats with Stella & Chewy!

Stella and Chewy was started in 2003 and was inspired by a sick pup and a very good vet that recommended a “raw” diet.   Thankfully, the pup recovered and Stella & Chewy became a successful business in the pet food industry.  I like the fact that the founder of this company, Marie Moody worked with animal nutritionists to create unique recipes; I also like the fact that the food is made in a plant in Wisconsin.  I am always on the lookout for a new treat for my cats from www.chewy.com, so I decided to try Stella & Chewy’s Duck DuckGoose Dinner Morsels … think Foie Gras for cats  -- and my five absolutely love it !  Best of all, it is 20 % off from wwwchewy.com!

Duck Duck Goose is made with 100% cage free poultry with no added hormones or antibiotics.  There are no grains, artificial preservatives or color in it.  The freeze-drying process maintains vital proteins; vitamins, minerals, amino acids and natural enzymes cats need to thrive.  It is enhanced with parsley for added vitamin K, pumpkin seed that aids in digestion and probiotics that helps to keep your cat’s immune system strong.

Duck Duck Goose comes freeze dried in the form of semi –soft bite size morsels that allow pet parents to feed cats this food in one of several ways. You can feed the morsels as they are like a treat, sprinkle them over other wet or dry cat food; or you can rehydrate them by adding ½ a cup of warm water to one cup of morsels. I add a little extra water to the morsels because water is good for cats and also because my cats prefer a softer pate.  If your cat has dental problems adding extra water will make it easier for your cat to eat while ensuring good water intake.

The minute I open the bag of Duck Duck Goose Dinner Morsels, my cats come running.  They watch me with great interest when I am mixing up a batch of morsels and devour it when I put the bowl down.  They really love it!  Most of all, I think they prefer this food as a nighttime treat!   I have caught them sitting by the bag late at night waiting to get a morsel as a treat before I head upstairs to sleep apparently it is a purrfect bedtime treat and at 20% off from www.chewy.com it is a must have!

I and Love and You... and... It is excellent!

Chewy.com shipped me a new petfood brand to check out... "I and love and you"; a self admitted unconventional name from a company that hails from Boulder Colorado.  They feel the name symbolizes the incredible bond between a human and a pet... judging from the names of their other offerings... I think they have a wonderful sense of humor and looking at their ingredients, I think they are very serious about providing healthy food for our pets.   Pets give us undying and unconditional affection with lots of purrs in between.  It is hard to believe that Zoey and Zivah are turning one and that TheMaxx is turning eight; so why not have a birthday party for them trying out a new brand of cat food by I and love and you!  I even decided to serve them using my favorite dishes by Portmerion - Botanic Garden!

I was shipped the I and Love and You Variety Pack wet cat food that chewy.com is offering at 46% savings!  The playful names don't stop with the company name- the variety pack comes with four cans  of: "oh my cod", "purrky turkey" and "chicken me out" recipes!  This cat food has been created under the supervision of a holistic vet; it is high in protein and includes deboned real meat,  an excellent selection of vegetables, fruits, and minerals; it is also grain free (no corn, wheat, rice, or soy fillers) and best of all my cats devoured it.

I liked the fact that this is a nice soft pate that comes out of the can easily, so easily that it allowed me to put the food in a pretty as pink cupcake holder for a festive birthday treat for Ziva, Zoey and TheMaxx.  Another plus is that the food does not have a strong smell... it actually smells pretty good... these factors, plus the most important fact, my cats liked it, makes this brand a new alternative for my gang of five!   They loved all the flavors, although purrky turkey seemed to go the quickest!

I also admire what this company is about. I and Love and You are founding members of the Pet Industry Sustainability Coalition, where they collaborate to implement best practices and tools and resources for continual improvement for the benefit of our environment, communities and businesses.  It is also a company that has donated 47,000 meals to dogs and cats waiting for adoption at shelters and rescues across the country; that is the kind of company that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when purchasing their products.

Zoey is grooming after a delicious birthday meal by I and Love and You... and the two Tonks are eating their fill -- Tonks are never ever left out of any celebration!   You can order the variety pack at www.chewy.com and treat your cats to a feast!
