Steve's Real Food Quest Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food, Chicken Recipe

Steve’s Real Food freeze-dried raw cat food in chicken is made with free-range poultry. Chicken is a great source of high-quality protein, and our freeze-dried raw cat food is a rich source of amino acids such as taurine, which is critical for maintaining healthy eyesight, heart function, and a strong immune system in cats.

Quest Cat Food is a Prey model recipe consisting of 95% chicken meat, bone, and organ, and 5% superfoods such as New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel and raw goat milk. Steve’s Real Food chicken recipe is formulated to exceed the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

Consider our chicken raw recipe for the following reasons:

• Supports Joint Health: Our cat food recipe with chicken is high in manganese and magnesium, which are crucial for ligament health.

• Great Energy Source: Chicken has a mid-range fat and protein profile, making it a good option for high-energy cats.

• Complete Amino Acid Profile: Chicken contains all nine types of amino acids you need to get from food, making it a complete protein.
  

• Variety in Diet: Feeding your cat a variety of protein sources, including chicken, can help prevent food intolerances or sensitivities from developing due to repeated exposure to a single protein.
  

Ingredient Sourcing:

Steve’s chicken comes from a family-owned farm in the northwest. The chickens roam freely. You can find them happily soaking up the sunshine, taking dust baths in the fields, and returning to the spacious indoor area to roost at night. They eat a natural diet and are offered vegetarian feed, provided fresh water, and provided enrichment activities. 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.

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.
