At Steve’s Real Food, we believe nutrition should come from real, recognizable ingredients, not synthetic vitamins added to food after the fact. That’s why every one of our raw diets is carefully balanced with fresh produce and whole-food supplements that naturally provide the vitamins and minerals your pet needs. We’re also extremely transparent about our sourcing so you can feel confident in where our ingredients come from.

Below are the natural supplements you’ll find in Steve’s Real Food recipes, and why each one matters.
