Consider our fermented, freeze-dried treats for the following reasons: Nutrient Preservation: Steve’s Real Food Lamb Protein Bites are freeze-dried, preserving the essential nutrients in the lamb. This method ensures that the treats maintain their nutritional integrity without the need for additives or preservatives. Fermented Goodness: Inspired by the natural canine and feline diet, these treats incorporate the benefits of fermentation. Dogs and cats, in the wild, consumed prey with fermented vegetable contents, and Steve’s Real Food replicates this ancestral approach. The fermentation process not only enhances flavor, but also introduces natural gut-soothing nutrients, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.. Enhanced Digestibility: Compared to raw vegetables, the raw fermented ingredients in these treats are easier for dogs and cats to digest. The fermentation process not only increases the bioavailability of nutrients but also contributes to better overall digestive health.
