FAQs

We know that fresh, whole foods are better for us than highly processed meals, and it's no different for our cats! A raw food diet provides the natural, nutrient-rich meals cats were designed to eat, supporting their overall well-being from the inside out.

All our ingredients are sourced exclusively from human-quality, USDA-inspected farms. We use high-pressure processing (HPP) to effectively eliminate any harmful bacteria or pathogens. Every batch of food is tested to ensure the absence of harmful bacteria. Our foods are also tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and other environmental contaminants. Raw pet food should be handled with the same safety measures as preparing raw meat for your own consumption. This includes washing your hands before and after handling, keeping the food at safe temperatures, and feeding food on clean dishes.

The high-heat processes of cooked foods alter various essential components in the food. It destroys beneficial elements like good bacteria, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and more. Raw pet food is the diet that dogs are biologically hardwired to thrive on. Uncooked food keeps natural, vital nutrients intact.

Starting your pet on Steve’s Real Food is best achieved with a transition over 7-10 days. Begin by replacing a portion of your pet’s old food with the new food, and gradually adjust the ratio every few days—introducing a bit more new food while reducing the amount of the old. Most pets smoothly transition within about two weeks with no issues.

Steve’s Real Food is versatile—you can use it as a complete meal or integrate it into your pet’s diet. There are no strict rules. This is food, not a prescription, so choose what works best for your budget and lifestyle! The more fresh food included in your pet's diet, the better. Studies have highlighted significant health benefits from replacing just 20% of a processed diet with fresh foods.
