Stella & Chewy's Bountiful Bone Broth, Cage-Free Chicken Recipe
Eight ingredients, and you can read the whole list in one breath: chicken bone broth, organic squash, ground pumpkin seeds, tapioca, gelatin, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon.
No preservative, no thickener beyond the tapioca and gelatin, no flavoring, no meal, no by-product. For a wet product that's an unusually short list.
It carries three times the protein of the beef version
This surprises people, because the two pouches look identical on the shelf:
| Cage-Free Chicken | Grass-Fed Beef | |
|---|---|---|
| Crude Protein (min) | 3.00% | 1.00% |
| Crude Fat (min) | 0.05% | 0.10% |
| Moisture (max) | 96% | 97% |
| kcal per pouch | 97 | 77 |
Three times the protein and 26% more calories per pouch. If you pour broth daily and you've been treating the two flavors as interchangeable, they aren't... swapping from beef to chicken adds about 20 calories a day without anything looking different.
The ingredient lists differ too. This one uses ground pumpkin seeds at position three where the beef version uses plain pumpkin.
What it's actually for
Two jobs, both practical rather than magical.
Getting a fussy dog to eat. Pour it over the bowl and the smell changes everything. This is the most common reason people buy it, and it works.
Getting water into a dog that won't drink. It's 96% moisture. For an older dog, a dog in hot weather, or one home from the vet and off its water, a pouch over dry food is an easy way to add fluid.
It's also what Stella themselves suggest for rehydrating their freeze-dried patties and Meal Mixers, in place of plain water.
How much to pour
Stella's published guidance, in their words: a quarter cup of broth per day for every 25 lbs of body weight, served over a complete and balanced meal.
| Your dog's weight | Broth per day |
|---|---|
| 25 lb | ¼ cup |
| 50 lb | ½ cup |
| 75 lb | ¾ cup |
| 100 lb | 1 cup |
Stella also prints the rule plainly: treats or toppers should not make up more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. At 97 calories a pouch that's easy to stay inside for a big dog... on a 15 lb dog it's worth doing the arithmetic, and taking those calories off the dinner underneath.
This is a topper, not a meal. Stella's own instruction is to serve it over a complete and balanced meal, and nothing on their page authorizes feeding it alone. At 3% protein it couldn't carry a dog anyway. If you have a dog that's stopped eating solid food, that's a vet conversation, not a broth one.

Also on the label
Grain-free and gluten-free, which the ingredient list supports. Stella states it is 100% human grade and made in the USA, and it comes in a resealable BPA-free pouch you can pour from and close again.
On the label statement
Stella publishes no AAFCO statement for this product. That's normal for a topper rather than a complete food, and their own serving instruction already tells you to pour it over a balanced meal. Treat it as a supplement to the diet, not part of it.
Storage
Reseal and refrigerate after opening, as with any wet food. Use within a few days.
