Founded in 1998, Steve’s Real Food was the very first commercial raw pet food brand on the market. They specialize in biologically appropriate raw diets (BARF) made with 100% human-grade, USDA-inspected meats, raw goat’s milk, and organic superfoods—offering raw nutrition in convenient, shelf-stable freeze-dried and frozen formats.

Steve’s Real Food features an 80/20 formulation—80% high-quality muscle meat, organ meat, and ground bone, and 20% functional whole-food produce, raw goat’s milk, seeds, and ocean superfoods. This replicates the natural nutrient profile of a wild carnivore's prey diet.

Steve’s Real Food fortifies every recipe with raw goat’s milk. Known as "nature’s universal milk," raw goat’s milk provides natural probiotics, essential fatty acids, easy-to-digest enzymes, and moisture that support gut health, soothe allergies, and boost the immune system.
