Handling Raw Pet Food: Tips for Thawing & Cleaning Up

Raw Food Thawing & Storage

Follow safe handling practices the same as you do when preparing meat for your family.

Once open, store your FoeGuard meal in a refrigerator and use within 4 days

How to defrost your raw pet food: 

1. Place your sealed FoeGuard pet food into a bowl.
2. Thaw out your pet food in the fridge for 24 hours for optimal consistency. For a faster method, submerge the sealed pack in cold-water & change the water every 30-40 minutes until defrosted. Never defrost at room-temperature or by microwave*
3. Do not dispose of any of the juices left-over, it is not blood, just remains of the natural ingredients and filled with nutrients. We are a human-grade raw pet food supplier so you should never find blood in your pet food.
