Pork is a naturally rich source of protein, essential fatty acids, thiamine, and B vitamins, and Steve's uses the whole animal — pork muscle meat, pork heart, pork liver, and pork neck bone — to deliver a complete, biologically appropriate nutritional profile in every serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Steve's highest-fat formula, the Pork recipe is an excellent choice for active dogs, working dogs, underweight dogs, and hard keepers who need caloric density alongside exceptional protein quality. With 51.1% crude protein and 37.2% crude fat on an as-fed basis, it's one of the most nutrient-dense freeze-dried raw foods available. Fortified with goat's milk, NZ green-lipped mussel, kelp, and coconut oil — the same whole-food superfoods found across the Steve's lineup — every nugget delivers complete and balanced nutrition for dogs and cats of all life stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarley-Fed, Free-Range Pork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetarian-fed, antibiotic-free, and hormone-free pork — raised on barley for a clean, high-quality protein source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole-Animal Nutrition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pork muscle meat, pork heart, pork liver, and pork neck bone deliver complete protein alongside organ nutrition and natural calcium from bone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighest-Fat Formula in the Steve's Lineup:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37.2% crude fat — ideal for active dogs, working breeds, hard keepers, and underweight dogs needing caloric density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNovel Protein:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pork is rarely found in conventional dog food, making this an excellent choice for elimination diets and dogs with protein sensitivities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBARF Formula – 80% Meat\/Organ\/Bone, 20% Produce:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biologically appropriate ratios mirror a dog's ancestral diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoat's Milk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Steve's formula is fortified with raw goat's milk — a natural probiotic that supports digestion and immune health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health and mobility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDried Kelp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iodine and trace minerals to support thyroid function and metabolic health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehydrates to 5 lbs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each 1.25 lb bag makes approximately 5 lbs of food when rehydrated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete \u0026amp; Balanced for All Life Stages.\u003c\/strong\u003e No grains, no fillers, no artificial preservatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive dogs, working breeds, hard keepers, underweight dogs, senior dogs needing increased caloric density, and dogs with sensitivities to chicken, beef, or turkey.
