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

Raw Meat 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 meats 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.

Storage Instructions: Keep the bag sealed and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations, such as garages or sheds.

Shelf Life: Freeze-dried diets remain good for up to two years when stored properly. Once rehydrated, food can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Gradual Transition: Sudden changes in diet, including overfeeding, can sometimes result in digestive issues; always introduce new food gradually over 7–10 days.

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.

Poultry Sensitivities: While turkey and duck are novel proteins for many pets, monitor your pet closely when introducing any new protein for the first time, particularly if they have a known poultry sensitivity.

Picky Eating Behaviour: 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.
