Can I warm the food up for my pet?
Yes, You can pour warm water over the food, and mix it in to warm it up Another way is while the food is still in it’s container/baggie to slightly warm up the food before serving.
Can I cook the raw pet food in the microwave or a skillet?
No, we don’t suggest cooking the food as high heat breaks down beneficial nutrients and because the food contains bone.
Can dogs eat raw chicken
Yes, a dog’s digestive system is designed to be able to handle raw chicken meat, bones, and organs. People are often concerned that raw chicken can give their pet salmonella, but FDA has enacted a zero-tolerance level for Salmonella in pet food after the Food and Safety Modernization Act went into full effect in the U.S. This means that no detectable levels of salmonella is acceptable, and every batch of raw chicken pet food we make is tested for salmonella and other bacteria before being shipped out. This rule for pet food is even stricter than for chicken you buy in the grocery store, which allows the frequency of contaminated chicken parts to 15 percent or less. Even when companies wash chicken carcasses after slaughter, the USDA has found salmonella bacteria on about a quarter of all cut-up chicken parts heading for supermarket shelves.
Do you offer chicken-free dog food?
We offer several diets of dog food without chicken, including our pork, lamu, turkey, and beef pet foods. All diets are available in both frozen and freeze-dried.
Can a dog be allergic to chicken and not turkey?
Yes, it is possible for dogs and cats to be allergic to chicken but not Turkey. Turkey is a different protein so a pet's body that is allergic to the chicken protein may not be allergic to the turkey protein.
Is it common for dogs to be allergic to chicken?
Chicken is one of the more common allergies, however, depending on the dog it could be an allergy to the highly processed kibble rather than the protein. We have many customers whose dogs are allergic to chicken-based dry food but do wonderfully on our raw chicken diet.
What is chicken meal in dog food?
We NEVER use Chicken meal as an ingredient because meat meal is produced through a process using extreme heat and pressure that destroys enzymes, amino acids, and nutrients.

Chicken is one of our pups favorite flavors from Steve's! It's also our go-to when a pup has an upset stomach, easily digestible and gets our pups back on their feet with all of its nutritional value!

They are easy to thaw and they don’t clump together. No smelly poops, no diarrhea and clean teeth!

I love feeding my dogs Steve’s because of the excellent ingredient panel and of course, because my dogs love it. It’s been hard to find foods that we both love, but Steve’s has been a winner in our house since the first time we tried it. The patties are so easy to portion and serve.
