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 feeding amount by number of feedings per day.
Place the airtight container of raw food in the fridge overnight to thaw. *If you forget to thaw the food, you can add some warm water to the food or place the food in a bag submerged in warm water for a quick thaw.
Remove the thawed food from the fridge and serve it to your pet on a clean dish. Thoroughly wash your hands and sanitize all areas that come into contact with the raw food to promote a safe feeding environment.
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.
Our original freeze-dried diets are available in 1.25 lb (20 oz) bags and makes 5 pounds of food once it’s rehydrated.
Yes. You should always rehydrate freeze-dried food before feeding it to your dog or cat as a meal. While a few nuggets fed dry as treats are fine, moisture is necessary for proper digestion. If you don’t rehydrate the meal before your pet eats it, it will absorb the water in their gut, which could dehydrate your dog or cat. Feeding dry in large amounts can lead to discomfort, constipation, or, in severe cases, intestinal blockage.
The food has an unopened shelf life until the expiration date, which is typically 24 months.
Yes, a dog’s digestive system is designed to handle raw chicken meat, bones, and organs. People are often concerned that raw chicken can give their pet salmonella. The FDA has enacted a zero-tolerance level for Salmonella in pet food after the Food and Safety Modernization Act went into full effect in the U.S. This means that no detectable levels of salmonella is acceptable. Every batch of raw chicken pet food we make tested for salmonella and other bacteria before being shipped out. This rule for pet food is even stricter than for chicken you buy in the grocery store, which allows the frequency of contaminated chicken parts to be 15 percent or less. Even when companies wash chicken carcasses after slaughter, the USDA has found salmonella bacteria on about a quarter of all cut-up chicken parts heading for supermarket shelves.

My dog LOVES this! I can’t believe how much he has changed his relationship to food because of it. He use to spit his kibble everywhere and would eat a little bit at a time. He was unfocused when eating and was often looking around (he’s a goof ball). But now he is focused on eating and cleans his bowl. He licks his lips for about 5 minutes after he’s eaten. We stretched it a bit by combining it with his normal kibble too. It’s really heart warming to see how much he loves his food and know its way healthier for him too. Happy dog, happy human 🙂

Freeze dried makes feeding raw on the go incredibly convenient. We will often use for treats or meals that we incorporate into training sessions.

My dog loves the Steve’s freeze dried chicken! The freeze dried is so convenient since it’s shelf stable and easy to take on the go for traveling too. I just break up the nuggets into smaller pieces, rehydrate it with some beef broth (or water is good too) and he finishes his bowl as soon as I put it down. His coat is soft and shiny, his eyes are bright and teeth are tartar free.

Steve’s freeze dried raw formulas have been so convenient for us on the go with traveling and training. I love that I can still give them the same nutrition as the raw formulas when we aren’t home. And my dogs don’t know the difference – they go crazy for all Steve’s!!
