INGREDIENT SOURCING
Our beef comes from family ranchers in the heart of the Northwest. The cows graze freely in pastures and are given plenty of space to display natural behaviors. The farm is USDA-verified and shares our belief in an obligation to preserve the environment and treat the animals with the best care.
The produce is sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and our goat milk comes from a family farm in Gaston, Oregon. Steve’s Real Food is committed to working with family farms that share our belief in sustainable farming free from added hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides.

How to Feed Our Freeze-Dried Raw Food for Dogs and Cats
If you are transitioning to raw, we suggest transitioning over a 1-2 week period. Check out our transitioning guide here for more information and tips for switching over your pets.

Scoop
Use a measuring cup to scoop your pet’s portion for the meal, and place the food in a clean dish.

Rehydrate
Add ¾ cup of WARM water per every 1 cup of food. Stir to ensure even hydration. Let the liquid absorb into the food for 5-10 mins.

Serve
Once the freeze-dried food has re-hydrated and reached the desired texture (usually a porridge-like consistency), serve it to your pet in a clean food dish.

How Much to Feed
Each four-legged friend will metabolize food differently based on their activity level, breed, age, etc. Use our feeding calculator as a starting point for your pet, and adjust the feeding amount as necessary to help your pet achieve an ideal body weight.

Food Storage Instructions
Keep the bag sealed and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing freeze-dried pet food in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations, such as garages or sheds. Freeze-dried food is sensitive to moisture. Ensure the storage area has low humidity levels to prevent the food from becoming soggy or molding. While freeze-dried dog food has a longer shelf life than other pet foods, it’s essential to use it within a reasonable timeframe. Follow the “best by” or “use by” date on the packaging as a guideline.

Safe Handling Raw Pet Food
Treat raw pet food with the same care as handling raw meat for your consumption. Always wash your hands, pet bowls, and any surfaces that come into contact with the raw food.

Consider our freeze-dried raw dog food recipe for the following reasons:
• Palatability: Many dogs find beef highly palatable, making it a convenient choice to entice picky eaters.
• High-Quality Protein: Grass-fed beef is a rich source of high-quality protein, which is essential for maintaining muscle mass, repairing tissues, and supporting overall growth and development in pets.
• Energy Source: The fats in beef provide a good energy source for active dogs, helping them maintain their daily activity levels.
• Variety in Diet: Feeding your dog a variety of protein sources, including beef, can help prevent food sensitivities from developing due to repeated exposure to a single protein.

Convenient Bite-Sized Nuggets
Nuggets are shaped into tater-tot-sized pieces that are easy to scoop, and excellent at quickly rehydrating.
