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.
Freeze-dried raw cat food offers the best of both worlds, combining the nutritional benefits of frozen raw diets with the convenience of kibble. It retains the vital nutrients and flavors of raw meat while eliminating the need for refrigeration, making it a convenient and nutritious option that appeals to cats’ natural instincts and promotes overall well-being.
Each 10 oz bag of Freeze-Dried Quest raw cat food contains about 5 cups of nuggets. It will rehydrate to make about 2 lbs of food.
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 which is typically 18 months. After opening, keep the package sealed and stored in a cool dark area (like a cupboard).
The parasite that causes the most concern in pork is a roundworm called Trichinella spiralis, which can cause the disease state trichinosis. It used to be common in the United States, but that was long ago. Fortunately, infections are now quite rare in domestic pork in the US. Legislation changed many years ago, prohibiting feeding raw meat garbage to hogs. Sadly, people used to feed pigs pretty much anything they wanted to get rid of. Today, Trichinella is almost exclusively associated with eating undercooked wild game meat, specifically carnivores and omnivores, like wild boar.
Even though the risk is already very low, we take several steps to ensure our pork diets are clean and safe, starting with sourcing from high-quality family farms that raise free-range pigs fed a species-appropriate diet. Our manufacturing process includes high-pressure processing. This cold-water pressure method effectively eliminates pathogens such as harmful bacteria and parasites. Finally, we freeze the pork to temperatures well below what the CDC recommends for killing trichinella and other parasites.
