The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Stella & Chewy's began in the United States, built on raw pet food. The founders believed dogs needed meat, not kibble. They made frozen raw patties for dogs and cats. Raw feeding became their signature practice, their defining move. The brand grew from a single idea into grocery shelves. Today they rank twenty-first in pet products globally. Forty-nine hundred retailers now stock their meat. They operate across North America with steady distribution. The raw movement they started shaped the entire industry. What began as conviction became a market force.
