FROZEN FOR FRESHNESS

Freezing raw helps protect nutrients, preserving them at their peak for maximum freshness.

How many cups in a 6 lb bag?

Answer by ChewySep 03, 2018
The 6 pound bag contains approximately 22 cups.

Does this come shipped with ice packs to ensure it doesn’t melt? I find when I buy this from stores it’s been thawed and refrozen into one block

Answer by ChewyJul 20, 2018
This item is specially packaged to remain frozen during transit. To ensure quality, delivery times may vary. Dry ice is utilized.

Can feed my dog raw food only sometimes

Answer by ChewyApr 18, 2021
Raw food can be added to your dog's diet as often as you would like. Many pet parents rotate between raw and a kibble-based food, or top their pet's kibble with either frozen or freeze-dried raw. Just remember to be cautious of overfeeding if you are topping a pet's existing meal with raw. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to best determine your pet's daily calorie intake and feeding recommendations.

Do you feed twice the amount of the current weight of a puppy, or the weight of the puppy when full grown?

Answer by ChewyJul 23, 2019
For puppies, it's recommended to feed them up to twice the adult maintenance amount. For instance, if the recommended adult feeding is 2 cup daily, your puppy should be fed 4 cups daily.

This frozen food is well liked my my dogs . Chewy never puts enough dry ice and at least half the time the food arrives less than frozen to unusable . They have been good about replacement with pictures . Very frustrating that the insulation is no good and the ice isn't enough .

Obsessed

My Sheltie LOVES this food. I was feeding raw before, and it was definitely cheaper, but so messy. This is a good alternative!

The dogs I have fed this to either needed a little bit of kibble or more food than recommended in order to maintain their weight. They have smaller cleaner stools, and their skin and coat does great. My senior boy passed last January, but this food helped him build back and maintain muscle.
