💦 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. These differences come from the natural ingredients used, which can vary due to the seasonality of produce, what the different animals were fed, etc. Rest assured, every batch is packed with the same high-quality nutrition your pet loves! 🐾❤️

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

🐶🐱 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.

✅ 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.

Freeze-dried raw is great for when you're on the go because you can provide the same great nutrition as frozen or fresh diets without having to keep the food refrigerated. Brands like Steve's use the same recipe for the frozen and freeze-dried diets, so no transition needed either!
