The 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. They are checked daily for signs of illness or discomfort and have access to an on-call veterinarian 24/7. The USDA-verified farm shares our belief in preserving the environment and treating animals with the best care. The produce is sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and 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.

Feeding

How to Feed the Frozen Raw Food for Dogs and Cats

• If you are transitioning to raw, suggest transitioning over a 1–2 week period.
• Portion: Start with a clean, airtight container and portion your pet's daily feeding amount into it. If feeding multiple times a day, divide the daily amount by the number of feedings.
• Thaw: Place the airtight container of raw food in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. If you forget, you can add warm water to the food or place the bagged food in warm water for a quick thaw.
• Serve: Remove the thawed food from the refrigerator and serve it on a clean dish. Thoroughly wash your hands and sanitize all areas that come into contact with the raw food.

How Much to Feed

Each pet will metabolize food differently based on their activity level, breed, age, and more. Use the feeding calculator as a starting point and adjust as necessary to help your pet achieve an ideal body weight. Keep food frozen until ready to thaw and serve. When thawing, place the food in an airtight container and leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours or until soft. Thawed food is good in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Safe Handling of 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.
