Steve's Real Food Freeze-Dried Raw Lamu (Lamb & Emu) Nuggets – 1.25 lb

Product Description

Steve's Real Food Freeze-Dried Raw Lamu (Lamb & Emu) Nuggets brings the full power of raw feeding to your dog's bowl — without the mess, short shelf life, or bacteria risk of traditional raw food. Using Lamb and Emu — two novel proteins, Steve's gentle freeze-drying process removes moisture at low temperature without heat, locking in the natural enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals of fresh raw food in every tater-tot-sized nugget.

Lamu is Steve's go-to formula for dogs with food allergies and sensitivities. Lamb and emu are both considered novel proteins — rarely found in conventional dog food — making this an ideal choice for elimination diets or dogs that have reacted to more common proteins like chicken, beef, or turkey. Emu is an exceptionally lean, high-protein meat with natural anti-inflammatory properties. Each 1.25 lb bag rehydrates to approximately 5 lbs of food — making it one of the most cost-effective raw feeding options available. Formulated as a BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet at a 80% Meat/Organ/Bone, 20% Produce ratio, this recipe includes nutrient-dense superfoods like goat's milk, New Zealand green-lipped mussel, kelp, coconut oil, and inulin for complete, whole-food nutrition.

Ideal For

Dogs of all life stages and breeds. Especially recommended for pet parents interested in raw feeding without the hassle, dogs with food sensitivities, dogs transitioning from kibble to raw, and as a highly nutritious kibble topper.

How to Serve

Steve's Real Food strongly recommends rehydrating freeze-dried nuggets before serving. Moisture is critical for proper digestion — if your pet does not have at least 60% moisture in their food, they cannot properly digest it.

1. Scoop: Measure 1 cup of nuggets for every 10 lbs of body weight per day.
2. Soak: Add ⅓ cup of water, broth, or goat milk per 1 cup of nuggets. Let absorb for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Serve: When fully rehydrated, serve to your pet. Each 1.25 lb bag rehydrates to approximately 5 lbs of food.

Dispose of any uneaten rehydrated food within 24 hours. A few dry nuggets as treats are fine, but always rehydrate for meals.
