Steve’s Real Food Original Freeze-Dried Raw Beef Nuggets Dog Food 20oz

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.     Ingredients Ground Beef, Beef Liver, Beef Kidney, Broccoli, Beef Bone, Carrots, Apples, Romaine Lettuce, Goat’s Milk, Coconut Oil, Sesame Seeds, Salmon Oil, Flaxseed, Dried Kelp, Taurine, Green Lipped Mussel, Inulin, Ground Eggshell.     Guaranteed Analysis Protein: 45.5% minimum Fat: 31% minimum Fiber: 3% maximum Moisture: 5% maximum     Nutritional Fast Facts Calories: 4920 per kg (139 per oz) Calcium to Phosphate: 1.7:1 B.A.R.F Formulation 80% Meat/Organ/Bone 20% Produce Carbohydrates: 2.2 % PH Level: 6.4 S.U.     Vitamins Vitamin A 7320 IU/kg Niacin (B3) 120 mg/kg Vitamin D 1250 IU/kg Pyridoxine (B6)Niacin (B3) 1.6 mg/kg Vitamin E 80 IU/kg Folic Acid 0.5 mg/kg Thiamine (B1) 62.3 IU/kg Vitamin B12 0.4 mg/kg Riboflavin (B2) 18.2 IU/kg Choline 2013 mg/kg Pantothenic Acid 44.1 IU/kg Taurine 0.20%     Mineral Ash 12% Iron 172 mg/kg Calcium 2.10% Copper 53.7 mg/kg Phosphorus 1.50% Manganese 7.3 mg/kg Potassium 0.80% Zinc 140 mg/kg Sodium 0.50% Magnesium 0.13%     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.
