The first raw meals and treats certified safe for your family and pet.
Stella & Chewy's products are made with an exclusive high pressure process that safely
eliminates the threat of harmful bacteria without sacrificing nutrition or taste.
Hydrostatic High Pressure (HHP) is a technology that “puts the squeeze” on food
pathogens without cooking out vital nutrients or changing the natural taste. It’s based on the
discovery that at deep sea levels bacteria cannot survive where other organisms do. To date,
HHP is the only scientifically recognized pasteurization process that does not use heat or
irradiation to accomplish this. But that’s just one of the steps we take to protect the health of
your family and pet.
Dedicated manufacturing plant. All Stella & Chewy’s products are produced, from start to
finish, at our own federally-inspected plant in Muskego, Wisconsin.
Clean ingredients. All of Stella & Chewy farmers and suppliers provide Letters of Guaranty
stating that their meats and produce are fresh, are unadulterated and in full compliance with
all applicable federal regulations.
Clean machines. Stella & Chewy's go far beyond the letter of the law when it comes to
keeping their operation clean. Unlike many pet food companies, they clean and sanitize their
equipment at the end of every day.
HACCP compliance. Stella & Chewy's strictly follow Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
Guidelines, a prevention-based food safety system established by the FDA and USDA.
Advanced oxidation cells. To further prevent contamination by surface and air-borne
pathogens during processing, Stella & Chewy's use a series of devices that emit low levels of
safe, pathogen-fighting gases such as ozone and hydrogen peroxide.
Independent laboratory testing. Not only does Stella & Chewy's have state-of-the-art food
safety systems in place, but every batch is tested before shipping. They send samples to an
independent laboratory to be tested for E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella.
