Steve's Real Food Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food, Lamu Recipe

Steve’s Real Food Lamu is a delicious freeze-dried raw dog food made with lamb and emu meat. Lamb is a novel protein that creates mealtime excitement for picky eaters, and it’s easily digestible for pets with sensitive stomachs. Emu, also considered a novel protein, is a lean red meat.

The American Heart Association recognizes emu meat as a healthy alternative to beef, with a higher count of iron, protein, and vitamin C and lower in cholesterol, fat, and calories. Freeze-dried Lamu is complete and balanced for all stages of life and can be fed to dogs and cats.

Lamb and Emu make up this highly palatable freeze dried food. The lean emu meat makes for a very high protein, low fat diet that is high in iron. New Zealand green lipped mussels are added to boost the manganese. Steve's lamb is sourced from USDA facilities in New Zealand, and the Emu comes from a local farm in North Carolina.

Consider our lamb and emu recipe for the following reasons:

• Novel Protein Combination: Lamb and emu are novel protein sources, making this formula a suitable option for pets with food sensitivities to more common proteins like chicken or beef.
  

• Complete Amino Acid Profile: Lamb and emu both contain all the essential amino acids necessary for various bodily functions and metabolic processes, making it a complete and well-balanced protein source.
  

• Palatability: Many pets find the flavors of lamb and emu appealing, making this combination suitable for picky eaters.
  

• Variety in Diet: Combining lamb and emu offers a variety of protein sources, which can help prevent dietary monotony and reduce the risk of food sensitivities that can develop with a single protein source.

Feeding Guide:

If you are transitioning to raw, we suggest transitioning over a 1-2 week period. Check out our transitioning guide here for more information and tips for switching over your pets.

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 recommended daily feeding amount by number of feedings per day.

Rehydrate

• Add ¾ cup of warm water per every 1 cup of food. Stir to ensure even hydration. Let the liquid absorb into the food for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Serve

• Once fully rehydrated, 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.

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.
