Beef is particularly high in zinc and copper–two nutrients that work together to support the metabolism. Pet owners love Steve’s Real Food Original Freeze-Dried Raw Nuggets Beef Dog Food Diet for the low-fat, nutrient dense, and lean muscle meat we use. In addition to the exceptional nutritional benefits of the meat, our Beef Diet contains unique ingredients, such as high-fiber apples, which provide a complete and balanced nutritional profile. One of the differences between Steve’s and other raw meat diets is our meat-to-veggie ratio of 80% to 20%. This gives your dog nutrition that provides the proteins and essential vitamins and minerals that help fight disease and promote strong bones, muscles, and organ function.
Our complete and balanced beef diet for dogs and cats are made from grass-fed, grass-finished, antibiotic-free meats.

Feeding Suggestions
There are a few factors that will affect the recommended amount to feed your pet, such as age, activity level, and weight goals. We use the bodyweight percentage rule, which estimates feeding amounts based on the weight of your pet. For example, if you have a 50-pound adult Australian Shepherd, then you would want to feed them 2.5% of their body weight, which is 1.25 lb (daily).
50lbs x 2.5% = 1.25 lbs
Transitioning
Every pet will transition a little differently, but it can take anywhere from 1-6 weeks until your pet can be fed an exclusively raw diet. Start by replacing a small portion of their usual diet with raw food and see how that goes. Then keep adding a little more raw to each meal as you slowly decrease the amount of their previous food.
Steve’s Real Food was the first pet food company to make feeding raw pet food convenient and easy. Today, Steve’s Real Food‘s tater-tot sized nuggets allow you as a pet parent to simply pour and serve. You don’t have to defrost it overnight, you don’t have to cut up raw meat, and you don’t have to mix it with anything. It is 100% complete and balanced, made from only the most superior ingredients on the market. We are so proud of the ingredients we use that we gladly share who we buy from so you can have the same level of confidence as we do.
Since its inception, Steve’s has focused on getting more dogs and cats to eat raw food. We keep our overhead low to keep costs down and focus on making every product convenient and simple. From our complete diets to our daily supplements, Steve’s is doing everything we can to make it easier and more affordable to provide raw nutrition for your pets.
