Steve’s Real Food Lamu is a delicious freeze-dried raw dog food made with lamb and emu meat. Lamb is a novel protein that creates mealtime excitement for picky eaters, and it’s easily digestible for pets with sensitive stomachs. Emu, also considered a novel protein, is a lean red meat. The American Heart Association recognizes emu meat as a healthy alternative to beef, with a higher count of iron, protein, and vitamin C and lower in cholesterol, fat, and calories. Freeze-dried Lamu is complete and balanced for all stages of life and can be fed to dogs and cats. Lamu is also available in frozen raw.

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.
Hot water is easy and works well, but other great options to enhance the meal are low-sodium bone broth, raw goat milk, or kefir. Note: If you are rehydrating with a cold or thick liquid, such as kefir, the rehydration will take much longer.
The food has an unopened shelf life of about 2 years, and you can find an expiration date on each bag. We suggest to use opened bags of food within 30 days so the food is still at peak freshness.
Yes, some dogs have sensitivities or allergies to common proteins like chicken or beef, but lamb is considered a novel protein, and usually a pretty safe bet.
Depending on your dog’s size, raw, meaty lamb bones might be a great addition to their routine. Pets should not be left unattended while chewing a bone. Never feed cooked bones because they break and splinter easily, and pieces can get stuck in your dog’s esophagus or digestive tract. The Lamu formula does not contain lamb bones but does contain ground emu bones.
Yes, boneless, skinless lamb meat is a great source or protein, iron, and omega fatty acids. It is also something dogs don’t typically eat or smell, so it’s great at creating mealtime excitement. It is is to digest and is usually a safe option for dogs with allergies to other common proteins.
No, lamb meal is a rendered product that has undergone of extremely high heat, pressurizing, fat melting, water evaporation, and enzyme inactivation. That process essentially destroys any nutritional value. Not only does this process denature proteins, but most of the ingredients that go into meat meals contain very little nutrition to start with. The majority of material that goes into meat meals comes from parts of an animal not used for human consumption such, as bones, organs, blood, feathers, slaughter floor waste, and condemned material rejected for human consumption. Our foods NEVER contain any ‘meat meals’ because we consider them to be an inferior ingredient.

Natalie and Achilles –
Our go to food for when we head on road trips with our pups! Our four cocker spaniels just LOVE the LAMU food!
Brittani Allen –
LOVE these hard-to-find novelty meats and the size of the nuggets is perfect for training activities with my large dogs. This is also the only brand of freeze dried food I buy that doesn’t turn to dust the moment you touch it! There’s usually only a little left in the bag that I use as a topper. Otherwise I’m getting TONS of solid treats out of it
