Pork is a clean, highly digestible protein that most pets do well on, and is great for pets with skin or digestive issues! If you haven’t added pork to your pet’s diet yet, give it a chance. It may become your dog or cat’s new favorite! Click to learn more and get answers to common questions about feeding . 🥓🐶🐱
Many pet parents love including pork in their pet’s rotation for its high digestibility, low-fat, and nutritional qualities. Pork is considered a neutral protein, meaning it’s not heating or cooling. It is an excellent choice for pets with digestive or skin issues, as its energetic properties ...
Oh boy, where do we even begin?
Chicken tends to be a protein that many people avoid because they think their dog has an allergy/sensitivity to it; however, a true chicken allergy is relatively uncommon in dogs, affecting roughly 10%. We have seen time and time again a person who thought their dog couldn't have chicken do well on Steve's chicken diet.
A few things that make Steve's chicken more digestible comes down to a few things:
🐔 Diet and Feed: Free-range chickens that get a more natural diet of grains, seeds, and insects produce healthier meat with a better balance of nutrients compared to those solely fed processed, high-corn or soy-based feeds
🐔 Living Conditions: Chickens raised in crowded, unsanitary conditions are more prone to stress and disease, affecting the overall quality and safety of the meat. Pasture-raised or free-range chickens tend to be healthier.
🐔 Use of Additives: Some producers use additives and preservatives to enhance the appearance and shelf life of chicken meat, which can compromise its natural quality.
❌ Because it is still a common concern that the use of antibiotics and growth hormones can lead to residues in the meat and impact its quality, it's worth mentioning that those are banned from being in pet food, so that shouldn't be an issue with any chicken diet.
Did you know pork is a neutral protein?! 😂
🐾 👩⚕️ Thinking about switching your dog or cat to a raw diet but worried your might not be on board? This blog debunks common concerns veterinarians may have and includes a handout you can download/print and share with your vet to help them properly evaluate the benefits of Steve's Real Food raw diets to help them make informed choices for your pet's health!
We love and value our vets! They work hard to keep our animals safe and healthy. It’s safe to say you’ll eventually need to discuss your dog’s diet with your vet. Diet is such a foundation of health, after all. While some education of the most common kibble diets is provided in veterinary scho...
What other things did you notice when switching your pet's diet to raw?
🐾☀️ Keep your pets cool and entertained this summer with a refreshing ice lick! Just freeze water and bone broth in a bowl for a tasty, hydrating treat your furry friends will love. Perfect for those hot days! 🐶🐱
🐾 It's estimated that 1 out of 3 pets is overweight. Maintaining a healthy weight helps your furry friend live a longer, happier life. It reduces stress on their joints, making it easier for them to run, play, and enjoy every moment. Plus, it lowers the risk of health issues like diabetes and heart disease. Let's commit to regular exercise and a balanced diet for our pets—they deserve the best care possible! 🐶🐱
🐕🍽️ Steve’s Real Food frozen raw diets should be fed thawed. It’s important not to cook the food as it harms valuable enzymes and nutrients. Ground bone is in every recipe, which should only be fed raw. To serve, you can portion up to 3 days of food to thaw in the fridge overnight and serve the next day. You can mix in hot water (not boiling) or bone broth for a warmer meal. Warming enhances aromas, making meals enticing for picky eaters and aids in digestion, which is especially beneficial for seniors, puppies, and dogs with digestive sensitivities.
🐶🐱 Daily washing prevents harmful bacteria, mold, and leftover food residues from building up, ensuring every meal is safe and delicious for your furry friend. Remember, a clean bowl is a healthy bowl! 🐾✨
Snack time is the best time!
💦 Always bring along water for your dog, and offer it to him on a regular basis, so he or she is less likely to be enticed by salt or stagnant water sources.
Allowing pets to drink standing water runs the risk of them contracting 🪱 parasites such as Giardia, 🦠️ bacteria such as Leptospirosis, or ingesting water contaminated with Blue Green Algae. ⚠️ If your pet ingests as little as one or two mouthfuls of blue-green algae-infested water, it can be fatal to your pet. Signs that your dog has been poisoned can show up within minutes, and you might see vomiting, diarrhea, staggering, weakness, and pale gums. Immediate veterinary intervention is needed!
Bottom line: If you wouldn't swim in the water, you probably shouldn't let your pet either.

Have you noticed slight color differences in raw pet food? Without the use of synthetic colorings or additives, you might see variations from batch to batch.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but feeding raw doesn't have to be all or nothing. Making just 20% of your pet's meal fresh foods or a complete and balanced raw food can help your pet experience the raw difference! Here are a few ways you can incorporate raw into your pet's diet:
🐶 Use raw or pet-safe foods as a kibble topper
🐶 Feed 1 raw meal and 1 kibble in a day
🐶 Feed raw 1 day and the next day kibble
🐶 Mix kibble and raw together
🐶 Add quality protein toppers such as eggs or meat
💙 Steve’s Real Food turkey recipe is an easily digestible protein packed with high-quality, human-grade turkey. Great for pets with sensitivities to other common proteins such as chicken.

🐶🐱 Raw feeding for dogs and cats isn't just a fad—it's rooted in their biological needs as it mirrors the natural diet they've eaten for centuries. The problem is when people just start throwing together whatever meat and veggies they feel like giving their pet without understanding what a pet's diet should consist of. Ideally, anyone who wants to feed raw should buy a commercially balanced raw diet like Steve's Real Food or consult with an animal nutritionist to learn to properly DIY raw.
🌿 When done correctly, raw diets for dogs and cats offer a species-appropriate option that promotes vitality and longevity.
Feeding a commercial raw diet is easy! Just Portion - Thaw - Serve!

✅ Yes! You can mix raw & kibble! No, it does NOT matter that raw/cooked digests at different rates - so does a lot of food eaten together. Remember that adding as little as 20% fresh ingredients can improve your pet's diet. In fact, feeding a variety of foods can provide a more balanced and complete diet for pets. Raw food often contains enzymes, probiotics, and other beneficial compounds that may be lacking in processed kibble. While there may be sensitive dogs who require special dietary arrangements or solo feeding, most healthy dogs do just fine with a mixed diet! Some fresh food is better than none!
Adding some raw is very common for those who cannot afford to feed totally raw. 💡Here are some ideas to add raw to kibble:
🐶 Add-in a commercial raw diet over their kibble - OR - Feed one raw meal and the next meal kibble
🐐 Raw Goat's Milk/Yogurt. Great for pets with digestive issues, allergies, & picky eaters.
🥚 Crack an egg over their food a couple of times a week. It is a great source of protein.
🐟 Add oily fish like sardines once a week. The Omega-3's help promote a healthy, shiny coat, promote cardiovascular health, and improve brain function
🍖 Add bone broth to help joints and provide hydration; plus it's very palatable for picky eaters or sick pets.
🥛 Kefir kills yeast and is a natural antibiotic and anti-fungal.
