Ziwi Peak vs Stella & Chewy's: Which Freeze Dried Brand Is Cheaper?
We compared Ziwi Peak and Stella & Chewy's across 8 popular recipes. Here's which brand offers better value per ounce in 2026.
Ziwi Peak and Stella & Chewy's are two of the most popular freeze dried dog food brands, but they take very different approaches.
Ziwi Peak uses an air-drying process from free-range New Zealand meats, resulting in a highly concentrated food. Stella & Chewy's freeze dries raw patties and nuggets from responsibly sourced proteins.
In our price comparison across Chewy, Amazon and PetSmart, Stella & Chewy's dinner patties came in around $31.99-34.99 for a 14 oz bag, while Ziwi Peak's air-dried recipes run $134-148 for a 5.5 lb bag. Per ounce, Ziwi is significantly more expensive — but you feed much less per day because of the concentration.
Our recommendation: use the per-day cost comparison on each product page to decide which works out cheaper for your dog's daily portion, rather than comparing bag prices directly.
