I feed a similar food to stella and chewy's. It's Vital Essential. I can't afford the freeze dried, I do the frozen patties or nuggets. Our store carries both stella and the vital ess. Both of them have been reccommended in the whole dog journal as a great food . I do give stella and chewy's freeze dried snacks and the dogs love them! You might as well give it a try! You could even add some greenbeans or other veggie to bulk it up.
