Katie, California
We recently found your product at Anaheim Feed where we
go for pet grass and thought we'd try some on our very
finicky Blk. Pomeranian, Katie. She has been such a
problem when it comes to feeding and we have tried dry
and canned, but she never went at her food like she
really enjoyed it as much as she would the cats' plates.
She LOVES your chicken for dogs! She tells us when she's
hungry now and we split the helpings so that she gets
fed once in the am and once in the pm. She's more active
and has lost some unhealthy weight and her coat is more
beautiful then ever! She also IGNORES a cat plate if it
happens to be on the floor because she knows when they
get fed, she will get her food also. Also, she has a LOT
of hair and has always slept on frozen floor tiles and
cold things when our days are hot, she loves your food
when its still a bit frozen. We cut it up into smaller
pieces and she gobbles it down and licks that plate!
Thanks so much for putting this product out there! |

Last March our dog, Mei,
had what vets believe was a heart attack. X-Rays
reveal an enlarged heart. She is taking
Pimobendan, digoxin, enalapril, and furosemide.
We also have syringes of liquid furosemide for when
her cough gets really bad. We were using about
10 syringes every 45 days.
Last month we began
feeding her Steve's Real Food (Beef) and for the last
2-3 weeks she has not coughed and we haven't had the
need to inject her with additional furosemide.
This time we have purchased the turkey but have not as
yet fed her.
The only significant
change that she has had is that we started feeding her
Steve's Real Food. I've
passed this on to my vet and she wanted the info on
the dog food which I just emailed to her.
I thought I would let
you know this. If your product is indeed the
catalyst in her better health I'd like to thank you.
P.S. Mei is a 10
1/2 year old female beagle.

Thank You For being here!
I have a Canaan Dog (Isreali Desert Dog) who is 4 years
old.
I started him out on the highest quality dog food I
could find but he had a ton of intestinal issues his
whole first year. We racked up vet bills and he ended up
in the emergency doggie hospital with an IV twice that
year.When his vet told me that 'this is just one of
those dogs that will need to be on antibiotics for his
whole life,' I got the hell out of there and went
straight to a holistic vet who told me that this dog
needs raw food.From the moment that I made him his first
raw meat meal, he looked at me as if I finally got it
and we never needed to see the vet again.
This breed is a natural breed from Isreal and was just
domesticated in the 1960's. It makes sense that the
highly processed food I was originally trying to feed
him was completely wrong for him.
My dog recently quit eating the boring raw food diet
that I prepared for him for the past 2 or 3 years (which
was always the same and not quite balanced I assure
you). I put him on several different high quality kibble
while I went back to the drawing board to figure out
what next.
I ran into your food at Whole Foods in San Rafael. My
dog (quite the finicky cat-like dog) absolutely loves it
and he looks even more beautiful than before.He's happy,
looks healthy and has more energy and I am saving time
and wasting a lot less food.
Thank you thank you thank you
Please stay with the commitment to provide the highest
quality food you can possibly get so my dog can live
longer and we can be friendlier to the earth.

We
would like to express our gratitude to Steve's
Real Food. Here's our story.
Our
2 yr. old Black Lab, Shiloh has inhalant and
contact allergies. Our holistic Vet here in
Charlotte, NC recommended Steve's Real
Food-Beef. Her
skin cleared up after about 2 weeks on the food,
her scratching is minimal, shedding normal,
stool is healthy and her coat is extremely
shiny. We
went on vacation to Florida this Spring and took
a popular canned food instead of the Steve's and
within 3 days her skin had a rash, she was
scratching, her
stool was terrible and she was shedding again.
We were very sorry for our decision not to find
a way to transport the Steve's frozen food.
We
started Shiloh back on Steve's food immediately
and in a week or so she was back to normal
again. Her skin healed very quickly which
amazed us. The
only thing we changed was her food and our vet
told us all her patients do very well on the
Steve's food. Shiloh loves the food and
cleans her bowl so that it shines so apparently
she doesn't want to miss a morsel.
Thanks
again Steve's, you have made all our lives much
easier and Shiloh's much more comfortable.

J., Wayzata, Minnesota
I have a very picky 1.5 y.o. female Shiba Inu. She
isn't a big eater to being with, and tends to be
on the thin side. After kenneling her for 10days
at a no cage kennel, she was burning off all of
the calories she was taking in. Needless to say,
she came back about 5lbs lighter. It has been a
constant battle finding kibble that she likes, and
I have tried EVERYTHING. I was given samples of
your raw food from a local store. I fed it to her
and she loved it! I have had her on the food for a
little over a week, and she is looking better than
ever! She dives into the food, and gets really
excited when she sees me pull the bag out of the
freezer. Thank you so much for making a food that
my picky girl will eat!

From Jon
A., Georgetown, Massachusetts
We have two
retired greyhounds both age are 9 years old. Our
male was very ill for two years with
stomach upsets, etc. We thought we were going to
lose him. So , I got on the Internet and found
you. He recouped in one month after eating the frozen
nuggets. Our vet was amazed by the results.
We then started our female on it, she had terrible
food allergies. Within two weeks we notice no
more scratching, tummy rumbles and no more red eye.
We threw out the kibble and only use your product
mixed with veggies and oatmeal. They love it! Thank
you.

From Laurel N., Cornelius Oregon
Hi there, I don't have a question but I do have a
comment. We bought a little cock-a-poo about a
year and a half ago and she is now 10 lbs and is going
to be 2 in April next year. This past year has
been pure hell trying to feed her, she came to us at
12 weeks with dry dog food and once we got her she
refused to eat much of it and also developed a spit-up
problem. So the vet suggested canned food and I
estimate that we threw away $500 worth of high-quality
canned foods that she refused to eat. We started
feeding her table food and the spit-up problem never
went away. What a pain, she would upchuck on the
bed, on the carpet, on the couch, where-ever and even
though my husband and I adored her, it was getting
really old. A few weeks ago she started really
vomiting and it got to where she was vomiting
blood, so we took her to the vet and they ran some
tests and sold us some expensive dry prescription dog
food and after paying almost $500 for the vet visit,
she still wouldn't eat it. Then my groomer, (the
dog's, not mine, ha ha) suggested raw foods and I
found some at New Seasons market. I have had no
trouble feeding her your food, she eats every morsel,
and I was given a sample of Prairie brand raw food and
she wouldn't touch it. I can't tell you what a
relief it is to have her eating, and doing so well.
She doesn't spit up or vomit EVER, since changing to
your food. Thank you for having a product
that she will not only eat, but actually LIKES!
My only fear is not being able to get it from New
Seasons as I've told so many people about the raw food
diet and how well Muffin is doing, they are buying it
too. Thanks again.

Hi There, just wanted to drop you folks a line and tell
you that your raw pet foods are wonderful. I have been
using your canine raw food for about 6 months now, my
little dog loves it and hope my feed store will always
carry your product. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!

From Wanda J.
I have a 6 year old long haired Chihuahua that has
never eaten dog food from the time we got her.
We have tried several kinds of foods and have never
found one to her liking, until we starting using
Steve's Frozen Chicken Nuggets. She's had severe
allergies and she was basically a hairless dog and
since we have been using the nuggets; her hair has
started to grow back and she is eating so well.
Her skin is becoming softer and her fur is so soft and
smooth. We still have a ways to go before all of
her hair to grow back, but from where we were 1 1/2
months ago; it will not take much longer.
Thank you for making this all natural food and vitamin
supplement.

From Kristin Z.
Hello, I have 2 Border
Collies with serious chronic health problems - Callie
has diabetes and Milo has generalized demodecosis (an
inherited immune system problem that manifests as
mange). I gave Steve's a try at the suggestion of
one of the technicians in our vet's office. I have
been feeding both of them Steve's Real Food for about
a year and a half now, and they are doing great!
Callie's blood sugar finally came under control, and
Milo's skin has improved dramatically. They both get
regular compliments on their beautiful coats. Some
people are amazed that we purchase Steve's to feed to
2 large dogs. I tell them that by spending a
little more on food, I am saving a LOT on
vet bills. Besides, they love Steve's and it keeps
them healthy and happy. And that makes me happy!
Thanks, Steve's!

From Jean H.
I have a little old English Toy Spaniel, called Perry
who I adopted on a rescue basis in '99. He has a
terrible heart murmur & some breathing
complications. In the last few weeks I though I
only had days left of him. He wouldn't eat, was
lethargic, pretty disinterested in life except that the
tail kept wagging.
The vet wanted him to go for an ultrasound.
Another $300 which would only show that he had a tumor;
nothing treatable. I am an invalid limited income
& thought not... Then the vet suggested your
food. Well honestly we haven't finished the first
bag yet, but he is a changed animal! Hungry, more than
willing to chow down about 30 nuggets & doing things
he hasn't done in ages (like putting a paw on my arm
while I am driving). I'm really encouraged.
He's back to being his happy self. I hope now that
there will be months left rather than days. So thanks for creating such a great food! |
From Lake Tahoe, NV
I switched my dog, Maggie, to Steve's Real Food after
seeing one of your seminars. Since the switch
Maggie (9 years old) has been doing great. Her
energy and stamina have increased and her coat looks
fantastic. She lost 10 pounds and comes with me
mountain biking, skiing snow shoeing and hiking, and
enthusiastically leaps into the air to catch her frisbee. She is getting younger before our eyes! And she can't
wait to eat. Thanks! |
From Guilderland, NY
I have two Bichon Frise... the strains and allergy type
reactions have subsided by using both the chicken and
the turkey dinners. They love the food and are
voracious when it comes to meal time. |
From Flasch's Cockers, WI
My dogs (and I) really enjoy your food! They really love
the taste. I mix it with kibble and have seen an
improvement in their skin and coat in just a short
time. I thought the change from regular dog food
to (a leading premium brand) was enough until I started
adding your food to the diet as well. Everything
is looking good! (And when you are showing a coated
breed it REALLY makes a difference!) Thanks! |
From Los Gatos, CA
Sam is a white Toy Poodle. He developed food
allergies two years ago, starting a real nightmare of
testing and searching for a cure for his constant face
scratching that caused bleeding and weepy lesions.
We tried everything! I bought your turkey formula
thinking it couldn't do any harm. Within one week,
Sam's itching seemed relieved. And now, four weeks
later, there is a dramatic improvement. Please do
not change or improve your diets; this is working for
us. |
Via email
I can't tell you how happy I am with your food! My dog
absolutely loves it! He stares up at the freezer wagging
his tail. He isn't experiencing his digestive
problem. His coat is shinier and his skin is back
to normal. |
