The short answer: Tie at A (90/100). The freeze-dried whole-prey matchup. Both brands produce freeze-dried complete-and-balanced food at the same rubric-clearing level. Bixbi Rawbble Beef is single-protein simplicity — 98% pasture-fed beef including muscle, liver, kidney, and bone, with minimal botanical inclusion. Stella & Chewy’s Chicken Recipe is multi-protein with chicken muscle, organs, and gizzard plus organic produce (organic cranberries, organic spinach, organic broccoli). Different ingredient philosophies within the same format.

Stella & Chewy's Chewy's Chicken Freeze-Dried Raw Dinner Patties: A (90/100) — Chicken, Chicken Liver, Chicken Gizzard, Pumpkin Seed, Organic Cranberries.

How the ingredients compare

The top-five ingredients reveal the formulation split between these two brands:

Bixbi Rawbble: Beef, Beef Liver, Beef Kidney, Beef Bone, Dried Pumpkin

Stella & Chewy's: Chicken, Chicken Liver, Chicken Gizzard, Pumpkin Seed, Organic Cranberries

Both formulas earn the same v15 score, but the ingredient lineups tell different stories about how they got there — that is where the actual pick decision lives.

Where Bixbi Rawbble pulls ahead

Single-protein simplicity: Bixbi Rawbble’s top four are all beef — muscle meat, liver, kidney, and bone from one animal source. For dogs with multi-protein sensitivities or owners doing elimination-diet protocols, single-protein freeze-dried is structurally cleaner than multi-protein. Shop on Amazon →

98% pasture-fed beef: The remaining 2% is dried pumpkin, supplement-tier additions, and natural preservation. Stella & Chewy’s adds organic produce inclusion (cranberries, spinach, broccoli, parsley) which expands the ingredient list but dilutes the single-protein density.

45% protein / 35% fat carnivore-aligned macros: Higher fat density than most freeze-dried competitors. For active dogs needing concentrated energy, this matters. Stella & Chewy’s runs slightly lower fat density at similar protein levels.

Where Stella & Chewy's holds its own

Organic produce inclusion: Stella & Chewy’s includes organic cranberries, organic spinach, organic broccoli, and other organic plant ingredients alongside the meat lead. Bixbi Rawbble’s only plant ingredient is dried pumpkin. For owners who want botanical antioxidant variety alongside whole-prey meat, Stella & Chewy’s has the breadth. Shop on Amazon →

Multi-protein chicken whole-prey: Chicken muscle + chicken liver + chicken gizzard supplies primary-position protein variety from one bird across multiple body parts. Bixbi’s beef variant is single-animal; some owners specifically prefer multi-organ inclusion for amino-acid breadth.

Patty format vs bite format: Stella & Chewy’s freeze-dried dinners are formatted as patties — easy to portion as a meal replacement or break into smaller pieces. Bixbi Rawbble is bite-sized for use as kibble-format feeding or as small-piece topper. Different physical-form trade-offs.

The bottom line

Bixbi Rawbble Beef and Stella & Chewy’s Chicken Recipe both earn A/90 in the freeze-dried whole-prey category. Bixbi leads on single-protein simplicity (98% one-animal beef), carnivore-aligned high-fat macros, and bite-size feeding format. Stella & Chewy’s leads on multi-organ chicken whole-prey inclusion, organic produce alongside the meat lead, and patty meal-replacement format. For owners doing elimination-diet protocols or feeding multi-protein-sensitive dogs, Bixbi. For owners who want produce variety alongside the meat lead and patty meal-replacement format, Stella & Chewy’s.
