You have to serve the Stella and Chewy freeze-dried dog food by rehydrating it. Use cool or warm water to rehydrate the Stella dog food patties. This is especially beneficial to your dog if it does not consume plenty of water while eating. To rehydrate Stella and Chewy’s Freeze-Dried dinner food, you first need to crumble the patties. Then, for every two patties, you need to add a quarter of a cup of water. Dogs that weigh up to five pounds will need two Chewy freeze-dried patties every day. For every five-pound increase in body weight, you will have to add another one or one and a half patties. Do not introduce the Stella and Chewy freeze-dried food to your dog directly. Instead, you have to slowly integrate the patties into their diet. Do so over seven to ten days.
