INGREDIENT SOURCING

Our beef comes from family ranchers in the heart of the Northwest. The cows graze freely in pastures and have plenty of space to display natural behaviors. They are checked daily for signs of illness or discomfort and have access to an on-call veterinarian 24/7. The farm is USDA-verified and shares our belief in an obligation to preserve the environment and treat the animals with the best care. Our goat milk comes from a family farm in Gaston, Oregon. Steve’s Real Food is committed to working with family farms that share our belief in sustainable farming free from added hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. Learn more about our ingredients.

Portion

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.

Thaw

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.

Serve

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.

How Much to Feed

Each four-legged friend will metabolize food differently based on their activity level, breed, age, etc. Use our feeding calculator as a starting point for your pet, and adjust the feeding amount as necessary to help your pet achieve an ideal body weight. Keep food frozen until ready to thaw and serve. When thawing, place the food in an air-tight container, and leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours or until soft. Thawed food is good in the fridge for up to four days.

Safe Handling Raw Pet Food

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.

Frozen Quest Beef PMR Pet Food FAQ

How many scoops of nuggets come in the 2lb bag?
Each 2 lb bag of frozen Quest raw cat food contains about 8 cups of nuggets.
Yes, you can pour warm (not boiling hot) water over the food, and mix it to warm it up.
Can I cook the raw food in the microwave or a skillet?
No, we don’t suggest cooking the food as high heat breaks down beneficial nutrients and because the food contains ground bone which can cause digestive upset when cooked.
TIf your local retailer doesn’t have our prey diet in stock, ask them to order it in for you. Most stores are happy to accommodate you.

  1. Lisa

    Frankie absolutely loves Steve’s Quest frozen raw, especially beef. He has eaten raw for about 6 years and when he started to get picky about a year ago I tried Steve’s and I haven’t looked back. He will not eat anything else. I buy all of the proteins but his favs are beef, pork and chicken and I do a mix of the whitefish in combination with another flavor.

Consider our Beef Quest Recipe for the following reasons:

  • Palatability: Many pets find beef highly palatable, making it a convenient choice to entice picky eaters.
  • High-Quality Protein: Grass-fed beef is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for maintaining muscle mass, repairing tissues, and supporting overall growth and development in pets.
  • Energy Source: The fats in beef provide a good energy source for active cats, helping them maintain their daily activity levels.
  • Variety in Diet: Feeding your pet a variety of protein sources, including beef, can help prevent food sensitivities from developing due to repeated exposure to a single protein.
