Can I mix raw with kibble?
Yes—many customers do during transition. Keep raw meals cold, handle safely, and monitor stools/energy.
Ingredients & Nutrition
What’s in the food?
Human-grade proteins and organ meats, with simple recipes designed for a species-appropriate diet. No fillers like corn, wheat, or soy. And when we say human grade, we mean it.

Do you offer treats?
Yes—our Harvest Treats line (e.g., Chicken & Sweet Potato Jerky) is single-/limited-ingredient and our pups love them and yours will too!
Allergens?
Always check product pages and labels. If your dog has a known protein allergy, choose an alternate protein and introduce slowly.
Handling, Storage & Safety
How is the food packaged?
Vacuum-sealed portions, then boxed with insulation and cold packs so it arrives frozen or refrigerator-cold.
How long does it keep?
- Freezer: Best within 6 months
- Fridge (thawed): Use within 3–4 days.
- Treats: See bag for “best by” date.
Can I refreeze?
If portions arrive cold and remain at refrigerator temperature (≤40°F) and unopened, refreezing once is generally acceptable. For best quality, avoid refreezing fully thawed, opened portions.
Food safety tips?
Handle like raw meat: keep cold, use clean utensils, wash hands/surfaces, and sanitize your dog’s bowl after each meal.
Shipping & Delivery

Will it arrive frozen?
Boxes are packed to stay frozen or fridge-cold in transit (typically 2–3 days). If it’s cool to the touch upon arrival, it’s safe to refrigerate or refreeze per the guidance above.
