How do I prepare the Whole Food Mixer?Updated 3 days ago

Preparing the Whole Food Mixer is simple and takes just a few minutes:

  1. Measure the dry mixer using the portion guidelines on the package or our online calculator
  2. Add warm water at a 1:1 ratio (ex. 1 cup of mixer to 1 cup of warm water)
  3. Stir thoroughly and let sit for 2-3 minutes to fully rehydrate
  4. Check consistency - it should have a chunky, stew-like texture. Add a bit more water if your dog prefers a soupier consistency

Water temperature tip: Use warm (not hot) water - about the same temperature you'd use for baby formula. Hot water can destroy some of the heat-sensitive vitamins we've carefully preserved through our gentle dehydration process.

The prepared food should be served immediately, and any leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days, just like homemade food.
