Stella & Chewys Premium Dog Food PodCast Interview with Owner Marie Moody – by Jamie Dolan

I’m very pleased to present to you our PodCast interview with Marie Moody from Stella & Chewys.

Before you listen, I would just like to take a moment to tell you about Stella & Chewys. I learned about Stella & Chewy’s a number of years ago; they are right here in my home state of Wisconsin, just about 2 hours from where I live.

Marie Moody started Stella & Chewy’s in 2003 based on her desire to supply pets with a premium quality, natural diet. Stella & Chewy’s has been extremely successful, they were recently featured in Inc Magazine and they expect their sales to pass $20 millions this year.

Despite their fast growth, I found that owner Marie Moody is still very much in touch with all of the company operations and was very willing to answer all of our questions.

They make both a Freeze Dried and a Frozen product for dogs and a Freeze Dried product for cats. Their products are available nation wide at local independently owned pet stores.

Bryan and his father, owner Tom Nieman holding the first bag produced during our ribbon cutting event at the new facility in Columbus.

Concerns about what food is safe and nutritious for our pets are ongoing. After a online poll and extensive discussions I created a list of questions about pet food from our community members. I interviewed Bryan Nieman, Creative Director and 5th generation family member of Fromm Family Foods in Mequon, WI to get answers to those questions and create this PodCast recording for you.

Columbus Exterior — Exterior View of Fromm Family Foods new Plant in Columbus, WI

I have no personal or financial connection to Fromm and was not compensated in any way to create this PodCast. The first time I spoke with Bryan was the day we recorded this interview. I tell you this because I believe that transparency is important. I want you to understand that my goal is to help you, the pet owner and your pet lead a better, more healthy life.

I would very much appreciate hearing your feedback about this PodCast, please feel free to leave a comment on this page or use the Contact Form.

I very much appreciate the effort and time from Bryan and the staff at Fromm Family Foods that made this PodCast possible. I was personally very impressed with the answers to every question that I asked.

One thing I learned about Fromm that I just love is that they only sell to independent pet stores. Unlike many other brands that are available through large retails chains, Fromm has made a commitment of only selling to independent pet stores. I’ll be bringing you a write up with photos about my local independent pet store in the near future.

The full PodCast is about 1 hour long. You can listen to it right here on the page or your can download a copy of it to listen to on your computer / Mp3 players.
