Steve’s Real Food White Fish Recipe Freeze-Dried Pet Food for Cats & Dogs (1.25 lb)

Sustainably Sourced White Fish, Conveniently Freeze-Dried for Pets

Product Description

Steve’s Real Food White Fish Recipe Freeze-Dried Pet Food offers a BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet suitable for both dogs and cats. Made from responsibly sourced Pacific fish, each 1.25 lb bag features tater tot-sized nuggets that yield 5 lbs of food once rehydrated. The formula consists of 80% meat, organs, and bone, 15% produce, and 5% supplemental ingredients like New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel and raw goat milk. Naturally low in fat and rich in Omega-3s, B6, B12, and selenium, this recipe is best used as a supplement or for intermittent feeding in dogs, ideally rotated with other protein sources.

Benefits

Novel Protein Source: White fish is a novel protein, making it a great option for pets with food sensitivities or intolerances to more common proteins such as chicken or beef.

Naturally Low in Fat: This recipe is the lowest-fat option in the lineup, making it ideal for pets that need to manage their weight or are sensitive to high-fat diets.

Omega-3 Rich for Skin & Coat: White fish is naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and joint health in both dogs and cats.

Heart & Cognitive Support: Naturally high in B6, B12, and selenium, supporting heart health, cognitive function, and overall vitality — especially beneficial for senior pets.

Parasite-Safe Raw Fish: Like commercial-grade sushi, the whitefish is flash frozen at -40°C to ensure parasites are eliminated before processing.

How to Use

Directions for Use

Step 1 – Scoop: Measure the amount of freeze-dried food for your dog or cat using a measuring cup. Scoop one cup of nuggets for every 10 pounds of body weight.

Step 2 – Soak: Measure ¾ cup of liquid for every 1 cup of food. Add water, pet-safe broth, raw goat milk, etc. on top of the food and let the liquid absorb to rehydrate, usually about 5–10 minutes

Step 3 – Serve: When ready, serve to your pet. Dispose of any uneaten food and wash all utensils, dishes, and surfaces that come into contact with the raw food.

Transitioning: Introduce any new food by slowly mixing with your pet’s current diet for the first 7–10 days, increasing the amount gradually while decreasing the amount of the other brand.

Meal Frequency: Divide the daily serving size into 1–2 meals for adult pets, or 3–4 meals for puppies or kittens.

Additional Information

Precautions

Supplemental Feeding Only (Dogs): The White Fish Recipe is intended for supplemental and intermittent feeding in dogs. It is recommended to feed in rotation with other proteins and not as a sole diet for extended periods.

Calcium Consideration for Puppies: The white fish recipe is lower in calcium compared to other recipes in the lineup. It is approved for all life stages but should be rotated with other proteins for growing puppies to ensure adequate calcium intake.

Raw Fish Handling: Wash your hands, utensils, and any surfaces that come into contact with the raw food, following the same safe handling practices used for raw fish prepared for humans.

Rehydration Required: Pets require at least 60% moisture in their food for proper digestion. If the meal is not rehydrated before serving, it will absorb water from the gut, potentially dehydrating your pet and causing discomfort or constipation.

Shelf Life: The unopened shelf life is typically 18 months. After opening, keep the package sealed and stored in a cool, dark area where it will stay good for up to 12 months.

Possible Side Effects

Digestive Upset During Transition: Loose stools or mild stomach upset may occur when switching to a raw diet; monitor your pet’s temperament and stool quality during the transition period.

Dehydration Risk (if fed dry): Feeding dry in large amounts can lead to discomfort, constipation, or, in severe cases, intestinal blockage; always rehydrate before serving as a meal.

Food Sensitivities: While white fish is a novel protein suited for sensitive pets, always monitor your pet closely when introducing any new protein for the first time.

Picky Eating Behavior: Some cats and dogs may initially resist the transition; try mixing old food with the raw food, using it as a topper, or serving it slightly warmed (never cooked) to enhance aroma.
