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.
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 which is typically 24 months. After opening, keep the package sealed and stored in a cool dark area (like a cupboard).
Yes, cats can eat raw fish. Fish is a good source of protein and essential nutrients; however, it’s vital to choose fish types that are safe from high levels of potential contaminants. By following these guidelines and implementing proper food safety measures, you can confidently provide your pet with a safe and nutritious meal made with fish.
Safe options for raw feeding include salmon, white fish, mackerel, sardines, and other low-mercury fish. Avoid high-mercury fish like swordfish and shark.
We chose various types of white fish for our frozen raw pet food because they are a group of swimmers that stay close to the seafloor. These wild-caught deep-sea swimmers mainly feed on crustacea, which are largely mercury-free. The deep waters they swim in are often much less toxic and result in a cleaner fish.
Like commercial-grade sushi, the whitefish is flash frozen at -40C to ensure parasites are eliminated.
Sustainable fish sourcing is of paramount importance. It ensures environmental conservation by preventing overexploitation, safeguarding marine ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and protecting vital species. Sustainability contributes to economic viability, supporting the livelihoods of fishing communities. Moreover, it upholds food security by maintaining a stable seafood supply for present and future generations. Sustainable practices reduce bycatch, mitigate climate change by preserving healthy oceans, and aid in protecting vulnerable species and habitats. This responsible approach fosters consumer confidence through certifications like MSC and underpins regulatory frameworks against illegal fishing. Ultimately, sustainable fish sourcing is integral to the long-term health and prosperity of the fishing industry and our planet’s oceans.

My cat is usually on the beef quest food but I decided to purchase the white fish flavor as a protein rotation. I have to say she is absolutely in love with this flavor. Everytime I open the bag she comes and waits for her meal time.
