Simply said, raw food is served as nature intended—rich in naturally - occurring nutrients and enzymes. The ingredients in traditional pet foods, on the other hand, are altered by harsh processing—and the lost nutrients are replaced artificially with additives and sprayed - on synthetic vitamins and minerals. That said, there’s no question that kibble foods are convenient—but shelf - stable, grain - free, freeze - dried raw alternatives offer the same convenience without losing any of the taste, aroma and nutrition naturally found in fresh from the field food.
Sojos’ raw, shelf - stable foods enable pet parents to serve fresh, home - prepared meals in minutes—just by adding water. It's raw made easy. And for guilt - free treating, we make a variety of freeze - dried raw meat and oven - baked dog treats.
Our food recipes include a combination of gently freeze - dried meat—and air - dried fruits & veggies. All ingredients in all of our foods are raw.Meat begins to cook at 115 degrees. But fruits and veggies have a higher cook - temp and can be dehydrated via an air - drying process, while maintaining the nutritious enzymes only found in raw ingredients. There can be a little confusion about the term ‘dehydrated’ because meat cannot be dehydrated and remain raw. But fruits and veggies can indeed be dehydrated and remain raw.
Our food contains no fillers, so you feed less than what you would with traditional pet food. As a result, the price per day is about the same or less than most premium commercial pet foods. In the long run feeding your pets fresh, wholesome pet food can also save you money on vet bills.
While it’s true that dogs and cats are carnivores, bear in mind that when a carnivore eats another animal, they are also eating whatever that animal ate—often fruits and veggies. So, to get a truly complete diet, a variety of ingredients are critical. Not to mention, the superfood fruits and veggies included in our recipes pack a serious nutritional punch, providing health benefits for your pets.
Sojos products are made from scratch in Minneapolis, MN and we source as many ingredients as possible domestically—about 80%. Because of seasonality and the protein options included in our recipes, we do source elsewhere when necessary. For example, our venison comes from New Zealand and our goat comes from Australia. Simply put, they are ingredients that could just as easily end up in your pantry or on the shelves of your local co - op.
Many people believe that garlic is harmful to dogs, and in large, concentrated doses this can be true.However, in the proportions that we use, it is highly beneficial to heart health, acts as a natural flea repellant, an anti - oxidant and anti - bacterial ingredient. Just like with humans many things are healthy (and indeed necessary!) in small doses but potentially harmful in large, concentrated doses.
For our Complete recipes and Wild recipes, simply add water, soak and serve. For Sojos Pre - Mix recipes, simply add water, the protein of your choice, soak and serve.
Look for an all - natural, USDA - approved raw protein to add to Sojos Pre - Mixes. The type of protein you choose depends on your dog’s individual nutritional needs and preferences. Your local butcher or grocery store is a great resource for meat recommendations.
Adding ingredients or supplements to our food recipes isn’t necessary, unless you’re feeding a Pre - Mix, in which case you should add the recommended amount of meat. Our Complete and Wild recipes are formulated to meet the AAFCO Nutrient Profiles and can be fed alone. As always, check with your holistic vet or nutritionist—especially if your dog has specific health requirements.
You don’t need to add anything to your pet’s meal (besides protein if you’re feeding a Pre - Mix recipe). Our foods include an all - natural blend of vitamins and minerals that provide all the nutrients your pet needs.
Our feeding guidelines recommend your dog’s daily portion size. So if you feed twice daily, simply divide the portion in half to determine how much you should feed per meal.
Our feeding chart guidelines include measurements using dry Sojos.There's no way to get an accurate measurement once Sojos is rehydrated, because there are too many unpredictable variables that will affect the actual rehydrated volume. Our natural ingredients can vary slightly in size from 1 bag to the next. Not to mention the soak time, temperature of water, temperature of soak environment (fridge vs the counter), etc can all affect the rehydrated volume.
Room temperature water is ideal. Do not add boiling water, as this will cook out the natural enzymes found in raw food.
All of our food recipes and freeze - dried meat treats should be stored in a cool, dry place. Do not store dry Sojos in the refrigerator.
Soaking improves digestibility. Cats and dogs have a strong, but short, digestive tract designed to quickly break down and absorb foods. Grains and veggies require more complex digestion than meats, fruit and other foods, so having them soak in water a minimum of 15 minutes is critical. You can also soak overnight in the fridge.
Any leftover food should be treated like fresh food, covered and refrigerated or discarded. Sojos is best served fresh, within 24 hours within of prep.
Do not microwave your dog’s rehydrated Sojos. This will cook the raw ingredients.
Sojos recipes include bite size, natural ingredient chunks. If your pup prefers a smoother blend, or has dental issues, feel free to blend once rehydrated.
Each meal will rehydrate a little differently depending on the food mix itself, the temperature of water you used, the amount of time you soaked, etc. So, there’s no way to pinpoint the exact volume once rehydrated.
An 8 lb bag of Sojos Complete contains 40 of dry food. The amount you feed your pup depends on several factors, including weight and activity level. But for an average sized dog, with an average activity level, an 8 lb bag of Sojos Complete will last roughly 1 month. Find our feeding charts here.
Sojos food products have a 18 - month shelf - life when stored in a cool, dry place. The “Best By” date is printed on the top corner of the back of your bag.
We cannot guarantee food or recommend you feed it to your pet if it’s past the expiration date.
My cats love raw, and like Stella & chewy, but they will not touch sojos to save their life. 5 days I tried, nothing but this, and they just licked up and juice I paired with it in a desperate attempt to get them to eat.
I got this for my four wonderful cats as I was recently told by a vet to switch to raw. I bought this and ziwi so I would have options in case one of the cats didn’t like it. Well all 4 won’t eat this food and that’s because the first day fed they ate a small amount and then began vomiting all over the house. I took my one cat who was the worst off and had her hospitalized due to dehydration. 2 of my cats have lost too much weight and so I had to stop trying to feed it as the cats would rather starve then eat this food. If I could give zero stars I would the ziwi works just fine but now I will have to try and find another raw the cats like hopefully they don’t have lasting issues from this food.
Sojo's is a wonderful food! I used to feed frozen raw to my cats, but had to switch after my senior girl got constipated from it. She does well on Sojos, and I think this is because there is more fiber in it. It is so much more economical than canned foods, especially in multi-cat households! All three of my cats will eat Sojos, but they typically pick out the meat chunks, leaving some of the larger veggie pieces behind. Also, I soak for over an hour before feeding--the recommended 15 minutes doesn't seem like enough time. I rated Sojos with four stars only because if given the choice, they would pick their Honest Kitchen over Sojos.
As the title says. Seems very fruit n veg, with big chunks of dehydrated meat that don’t fully soften and I soaked overnight in warm/hot water. Maybe for a dog, cats steals tried to like this one
This food has potential to be a premium brand, but there are too many unnecessary ingredients here. My cat eats the turkey but leaves all the other stuff on the plate. No need for blueberries and other weird stuff that sounds healthy to us humans but has zero nutritional value for cats and aren't even tasty to them. All cats need is meat, moisture, and minimal essential supplementation. There are plenty other brands on the market that offer that and render Sojos pretty worthless in my opinion. I'd gladly buy this again if they drop all the filler though as my girl really did seem to enjoy the meat part. Sojos, if you read this please take note!
I bought this food by mistake. I usually am very careful about looking at ingredients and choosing healthy options. I decided to feed it to my cat to try it and it would be something different for her. Well as a result she starting scratching and licking her face so much that bald patches developed and were red. After discontinuing the food she stopped scratching and licking so much and her face is starting to heal. Also, there is barely any meat in this food. It's all fruits and vegetables which cats do not need.
Great food and I like that it has veggies in it. If you read Dr Karen Becker cats need greens. Yes they are carnivores but they need more than just meat. That’s why you will see cats eat grasses and plants.
I really wanted this food to work. I liked the price and the quality of the ingredients, as I am looking for a mostly whole raw foods for my cats. My cats are on Stella and Chewy and I wanted to try and find something that could serve as a filler or an extender to Stella and Chewy to alleviate some of the cost. My cats are not picky eaters, they will pretty much eat anything. They are the kind of cats that don’t have to be weaned slowly onto a food, even though I do it anyway. At first they would eat around a lot of the bigger chunks in the food and leave all the vegetables, I thought this was because the food took a really long time to rehydrate and in some cases never rehydrated. I tried food processing the entire bag to make it into a fine powder or as fine a powder as I could and this seem to help, but they were still not super enthusiastic. We tried this food for three months, the last month both cats have left food in their bowls (especially pumpkin and celery bits), to the point where one of the cats won’t eat or licks a few bites and then spends the rest of the day leading me back to the food bowls and asking for food but he won’t eat the food that’s in it. If I give him just plain Stella and Chewy he licks the bowl clean. So we are back on the hunt for a good solid raw whole food and cost effective way to extend Stella and Chewy.
NO CAT FOOD SHOULD CONTAIN ANYTHING BUT MEAT OR VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS nearly everything on cheesy list of “healthy” foods are packed with VEGGIES. Ugh. Stop doing this to cat’s, they are not dogs they do NOT need vegetables and they are used for fillers!
Like so many other cat owners, I have to say this missed the mark. My cat isn't picky at all, and he'll eat some of it but does not lick the bowl clean as usual. My dog, on the other hand, enjoys her Sojos very much.
