INGREDIENT SOURCING
Our pork comes from a family farm in Idaho that is USDA-Verified and Certified Sustainable. The hogs are humanely treated and naturally raised. They are fed high-quality western wheat and barley, much of which is grown on the same family farms where the pigs are raised to ensure the best diet possible. The farm never uses preservatives, chemicals, hormones, additives, or added moisture in our fresh pork products.
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.
