Yes, a dog’s digestive system is designed to be able to handle raw chicken meat, bones, and organs. People are often concerned that raw chicken can give their pet salmonella, but 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, and every batch of raw chicken pet food we make is 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 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.

Chicken is one of our pups favorite flavors from Steve’s! It’s also our go-to when a pup has an upset stomach, easily digestible and gets our pups back on their feet with all of its nutritional value!

They are easy to thaw and they don’t clump together. No smelly poops, no diarrhea and clean teeth!

I love feeding my dogs Steve’s because of the excellent ingredient panel and of course, because my dogs love it. It’s been hard to find foods that we both love, but Steve’s has been a winner in our house since the first time we tried it. The patties are so easy to portion and serve.

One of my 4 dogs is a huge fan of chicken! She goes crazy for this recipe. All 4 dogs and 4 cats seem to do really well on Steve’s chicken so it’s a regular in our protein rotation!

All my dogs LOVE Steve’s raw food! I credit their diet with keeping my senior boy young for so long and turning my not-food-motivated dog into a crazy food hound! I’ve tried other raw brands and Steve’s is clearly the favorite (for both myself and the dogs).

Makes feeding raw so easy! The frozen nuggets make it as easy to feed as kibble but I know they are getting a high quality fresh food diet they are thriving on!

Chicken frozen nuggets are a regular staple in my freezer since it’s a protein that my dog does well on and loves the taste. I’m honestly so happy I discovered Steve’s Real Food. Switching my dog to raw has improved my dog’s health and energy level tremendously.

We just recently started our lab on raw food + when looking into different companies I know Steve’s Real Food was the company we want to use! Our pup, Hudson, loves the chicken. I’m glad there’s so many different varieties!

We absolutely love feeding Steve’s raw nuggets! They are extremely convenient and easy to portion. My dogs love the turkey & I love that it is high quality. It means a lot to find a company that prioritizes sourcing & quality!

When I first got my mini golden doodle, I fed her a grain free dry dog food. She seemed to be pooping more than she was eating and the poops were wet and stuck to the cement. My friend recommended this food and her poops are now a third of what it was before and they are dry and hard (easy to pick up). This food is expensive we decided to do half Steve’s and half of that previous dog food, and her poops are still manageable and dry. When we feed her she eats all the Steve’s first then the dry food lol My dog absolutely loves Steve’s Raw food!!!!

You can never go wrong with chicken! My dogs love this flavor and I love how easy it is to thaw out & toss in a bowl for them.

My pup loved Steve’s Real Food! I love that Steve’s includes ingredients like raw goat’s milk and green lipid mussels and my dog loves the taste. Not only do they source their ingredients from family owned local farms, but the farmers do not use hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides.
