So you've heard about just how good a raw diet could be for your pet (we wrote about it here a couple of weeks ago), but you're not finding the idea of grinding meat in your kitchen appetizing? There is another option to help you ease into the trend: pre-packaged meals. Stella & Chewy's all-natural, raw-frozen foods (starting at $7.59) are made from 95 percent human-grade, USDA Inspected meats and bones, raised free-range with no hormones or antibiotics. Their freeze-dried meals for smaller dogs are like a TV dinner for your pet, with each patty (from chicken to beef to lamb) freeze-dried to lock in the flavor and nutrition (our taste testers gobbled them right up!). Warning: Your pooch may turn into a potato if eaten on the couch.

We're also loving Stella & Chewy's Carnivore Kisses ($8.99) for your pint-sized pups, available in angus beef, chicken, turkey liver, bison and duck. With no preservatives, dyes, sugar or salt, it's a treat you can feel good about giving your furry BFF.
