Stella & Chewy's Dandy Lamb Frozen Raw Dinner Morsels
Raw lamb in loose frozen pieces you scoop by the cup, rather than patties you count. Stella puts the recipe at 95% lamb, organs and bone.
The richest recipe in the frozen range
Worth understanding before you buy. Dandy Lamb is the only frozen recipe where fat matches protein exactly... 13.5% of each.
| Frozen recipe | Protein (min) | Fat (min) | kcal/kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dandy Lamb | 13.5% | 13.5% | 2,085 |
| Duck Duck Goose | 15% | 11.5% | 2,060 |
| Super Beef | 15% | 12% | 1,869 |
| Chewy's Chicken | 15.5% | 9% | 1,460 |
At 2,085 kcal/kg it is the most calorie-dense of Stella's frozen recipes, and it carries the lowest protein figure. In practice that means you feed less of it than you would the chicken, and it is a noticeably richer food going in.
If you're coming off something lean, go slower than the usual seven to ten days. A dog moving from the chicken recipe to this one is taking a real step up in fat, and the usual symptom of rushing a rich food is a loose stool for a few days.
Morsels or patties? The nutrition is the same
Same four guaranteed figures, same 2,085 kcal/kg. The choice is about portioning:
- Morsels suit a dog whose amount doesn't land neatly on a patty, a dog whose portion changes as it grows or slims, and anyone topping another food rather than feeding a full raw meal. You measure them
- Patties suit a settled routine where you grab two and walk away. You count them
With a rich recipe like this one, the morsels have a real edge: you can dial the amount in small increments while a dog settles onto it, which you can't do with an 8 oz patty.
Two label details we won't paper over
Moisture is printed as a minimum. Stella's page for these morsels reads "Moisture (min.) 68.00%." Moisture is a maximum guarantee by convention, and Stella's own page for the Dandy Lamb patties prints the same 68.00% figure as a maximum. We've reproduced their number below and labeled it the way the convention requires, because publishing moisture as a minimum tells you the opposite of what the guarantee means. The figure itself is theirs and is unchanged.
"Lamb" rather than "Grass-Fed Lamb." The patties list opens with Grass-Fed Lamb; this morsels list opens with plain Lamb. Everything after that matches item for item. We don't read that as two different suppliers... it reads as inconsistent web copy, and the identical nutrition supports that. But grass-fed is a claim worth money to some people, so we're not going to add the words to a list where Stella didn't print them. Ask us and we'll read the box.
Six lamb components, including heart
Lamb, lamb spleen, lamb liver, lamb heart, lamb kidney, lamb bone. Six lamb items before anything else appears... spleen in second position is unusual, and heart is worth pointing out.
A genuine discrepancy in Stella's own lists: these morsels include lamb heart, and so do the frozen Dandy Lamb patties. But the list Stella publishes for the freeze-dried Dandy Lamb patties shows no heart at all. We've verified that across three of their pages and it holds. We don't know which list is incomplete, and we won't guess.
Lamb is the only animal species in it. After the lamb: pumpkin seed, organic cranberries, spinach, broccoli, beets, carrots, squash and blueberries. Fenugreek seed, kelp, four probiotic strains, a full vitamin and mineral package, added taurine. Pea-free, lentil-free and potato-free.
What a cup of these actually weighs
Stella publishes 266 kcal per cup and 2,085 kcal per kilo. Together those mean a measured cup of these morsels weighs about 4.5 oz, or roughly 128 grams.
That's our calculation from Stella's numbers rather than something they publish, so treat it as close rather than exact. By cup we mean a standard measured 8 oz dry measuring cup, level, not heaped... a cup of frozen raw is a good deal heavier than a cup of kibble, and with a recipe this calorie-dense a heaped cup is a real overfeed.
Why the protein number looks low next to the freeze-dried
Because this food is 68% water and the freeze-dried version is about 5%. Stella's freeze-dried Dandy Lamb page publishes a second "rehydrated" analysis showing what the dried food becomes once the water goes back in, and it matches the figures on this page.
Same recipe, water in or water out. A 13.5% frozen morsel is not a weaker food than a 40-something-percent freeze-dried one. What differs is price per pound of food, freezer space, and shipping... frozen is cheaper on the same recipe but is pickup and local delivery only. Freeze-dried costs more, keeps in a cupboard, and ships free over $75.
Handling raw food safely
From Stella's own published guidance, with the morsel-specific points called out:
- Defrost overnight in a covered container in the refrigerator. Morsels can also be defrosted in a bowl on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes... a shortcut Stella gives for morsels and not for patties, because small pieces thaw fast
- To thaw faster still, seal the food in a zip-top bag or glass bowl and submerge in warm water
- Never cook, heat or microwave it
- Do not refreeze once thawed
- Wash your hands before and after handling it
- Use a clean dish every time, and clean any utensils or surfaces the raw food touches
- Served food can sit out up to two hours... discard anything left after that
One gap worth knowing: Stella publishes a two-day refrigerator window for thawed patties but states no post-thaw window for morsels anywhere we could find, so we won't invent one. Treat thawed morsels no more generously than patties. The countertop shortcut means you can thaw what you need as you need it.
None of this handling guidance appears on Stella's product page... it comes from their separate feeding-frozen-food article. If there are small children or anyone immune-compromised in the house, talk to us and to your doctor before switching to raw.

Feeding guidelines
Stella's published amounts for adult dogs, per day, split across two meals. Measured 8 oz dry cups, level.
| Your dog's weight | Cups/day |
|---|---|
| 5 lb | ½ |
| 10 lb | 1 |
| 15 lb | 1½ |
| 20 lb | 1¾ |
| 40 lb | 3 |
| 60 lb | 4 |
| 80 lb | 4¾ |
| 100 lb | 5¾ |
These are the lowest amounts of any frozen recipe, because this is the densest one. A 40 lb dog eats 3 cups of lamb a day where it would eat 4 of chicken. Factor that into cost per day before comparing box prices... the richer food goes further.
Every chart is a starting point. Check your dog's body condition after two or three weeks and adjust.
Switching over
Stella's guidance is seven to ten days, mixing with the current food and shifting the ratio. Given how rich this recipe is, we'd lean toward the longer end of that. Sudden changes and overfeeding both cause digestive upset.
Sizes
Check the size selector above for what we currently stock. Stella does not publish package sizes for any of their frozen morsels on their website, so we'd rather point you at our own stock than repeat a figure they haven't given.
On the label statement
Stella does not publish the formal AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement or the life stage on their website for any frozen or freeze-dried raw product, so we can't tell you from here which life stage it's approved for. Ask us and we'll read it off the box rather than guess.
