Both Stella and Chewy's and Nature's Variety use hydro high pressure (not heat) to make their raw products pathogen safe. You can read about hydro high pressure on the Nature's Variety web site. There is also a link on the Stella and Chewy's website about this but their is more info on how it's actually done on the NV website.

I emailed their customer service of Stella and Chewy'sabout feeding the food to cats too. Even though it says for dogs on the package, I was told by them that all of the Stella and Chewy's products are for both cats and dogs. And as a side note, the Nature's Variety Instinct canned food is the same way, formualted exactly the same for both dogs and cats, and so is the NV raw. I wish that Stella and Chewy's would simply say for dogs and cats on their bags. It would make me feel beter about feeding it to my cats, but it really is fine for both cats and dogs.

Raw Food is BEST for all Carnivores ad cats!!! That’s how the fed first and that’s how they remain feeding. I've done over a year of research on raw food. There are minimal risks, even so, if its contaminated, dogs digestive system can handle it. My Papillon eats human grade ground meats from Whole Foods. Her many many issues has done a complete turn around. DOGS are meant to eat raw. I have an awesome Homeopathic Nutritionist, and she has been doing this for over 40 years…-MEANING no heart worming crap–chemicals, frontline–VERY BAD!!!!
How do you all think wolves, coyotes survive? No one brushes their teeth, as mine wont get a tooth brush. Their are many reasons why these dog food companies want YOU to be brain washed, vets–oh, huge kick backs, from the frontline, heartguard, crappy dog food they sell…ALL OF IT!!!

CONTINUED:
Dogs should not eat CARBS, FRUIT!!!! RAW meat, veggies, that’s it!!! It took me a year to realize and after spending over $8, 000 at many different vets, many foods, and then I met my Nutritionist. By chance I found her. And if it wasn’t for her , I don’t think my awesome Papillon would be alive today! PLEASE–keep reading….if you want your companion's around a long time! Don’t buy into all the hype! Use YOUR brain, its all your pets have to count on!!! YOU!!!

I agree Cody, the certified pathogen safe process is what sold me on the Stella & Chewy's brand and I'll be interested to see how may companies fall into line with this method of processing. Thanks for stopping by!
