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

Steve’s Real Food Pork, freeze-dried raw dog food, is a unique protein that may be a good option for pets with sensitivities to more common proteins. Pork is a great source of protein, essential fatty acids, thiamine, and healthy fats. It is also highly palatable, making it an excellent choice for choosier pets. Our complete and balanced pork recipe for dogs and cats is from barley-fed, free-range pigs.

Steve’s Real Food's Pork Diet contains chia seeds, which boost the diet's cooling properties and is helpful in detoxing. Its meat-to-veggie ratio of 80% to 20% differentiates itself from other raw food diets. It provides your pet with the protein and essential vitamins and minerals that help fight disease and promote strong bones, muscles, and organ function. Steve's complete and balanced pork diet for dogs and cats are made from vegetarian-fed antibiotic-free meats.

Consider our freeze-dried recipe for the following reasons:

• Unique Protein: Pork is considered a novel protein source, making it a suitable option for pets with food sensitivities or intolerance to more common proteins like chicken or beef.

• Low in Sodium: Pork is naturally low in sodium, which can be beneficial for pets with certain health conditions.

• High palatability: Many pets enjoy the taste of pork, making it a convenient and enticing protein source for picky pets.

• Variety in Diet: Incorporating pork into a pet’s rotational diet provides variety, helping prevent dietary monotony and reducing the risk of developing food sensitivities.

Ingredient Sourcing:

Steve's pork comes from a family farm in Idaho that is USDA-Verified and Certified Sustainable. The hogs are humanely treated and naturally raised. They are fed high-quality western wheat and barley, much of which is grown on the same family farms where the pigs are raised to ensure the best diet possible. The farm never uses preservatives, chemicals, hormones, additives, or added moisture in our fresh pork products. The produce is sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and 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.

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.
