You’ve got your paws on our RawSAFE-accredited, natural dog food - crafted with real meat, nutrient-rich superfoods, and zero fillers. Here’s how to store, serve, and switch to Darcy and Ted’s with confidence.

Storing & Defrosting - Keep your meals fresh, safe, and tail-waggingly tasty

Freeze on arrival to keep meals fresh

Defrost in the fridge for 24 hours before serving.

Just need a portion? Partially defrost, slice what you need, and refreeze the rest.
