INGREDIENT SOURCING

Our fish is sustainably sourced from the Pacific Ocean. Like commercial-grade sushi, the whitefish is flash frozen at -40C to ensure the risk of parasites is eliminated. The produce is sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and 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, GMOs, or pesticides. Learn more about our ingredients.

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 or 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.

Quest Frozen White Fish 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.

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.

Yes, cats can eat raw fish. Fish is a good source of protein and essential nutrients, however, it’s essential to choose fish types that are safe from high levels of potential contaminants.

What types of fish are safe for raw feeding? What about Mercury?

Safe options for raw feeding include wild caught 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.

Some small, soft fish bones are safe for pets to consume and can even help with dental health. However, larger or sharper bones should be removed to prevent choking or injury. However, larger or sharper bones should be removed to prevent choking or injury. We use whole prey fish grinds to make our white fish diet. This approach involves feeding the entire fish, including their bones, eyes, organs, and meat, which closely mimics the diet of their wild ancestors. We grind to ⅛ inch. These pieces of ground raw bone are small enough to pose no risk of choking and are easily digested. Cooked fish bones should never be fed to dogs and cats.

Sustainable fish sourcing is of paramount importance for various reasons. 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.
