Can Dogs Eat Apples? What You Need to Know

Dog with a Sensitive Stomach

Tato loves it! He gets excited and would let you know to hurry up. He gets bored easily but never with Steve’s Real Food. I love all the ingredients in the food and the quality is always on par. I noticed his poop is always in good form. His tummy is sensitive so sometimes certain […]

Pitbull Mix with Skin Issues and Allergies

I adopted Karl the shelter in 2015 not knowing a lot about canine nutrition. He is a Pitbull mix and started suffering a lot from skin issues and allergies while eating a dry kibble diet.

Nova’s Allergies

My 4 year old Pug has been on Steve’s for about one year now. She has many environmental and food allergies. I went through 7 different kibble brands from LID, grain-in, grain free, novelty protein and everything either made her very red/itchy, or gave her GI issues (vomiting, bloating, diarrhea).

Maple the Cattle Dog Mix

Maple is an 11 month old cattle dog mix. When we first brought her home, she decided she wanted nothing to do with dry, store-bought kibble.
