Do I need my vets approval to feed Little Hunter to my dog?

Consulting a vet isn't necessary, but we encourage you to talk to your vet about what you're feeding your little hunter - they often ask anyway!

To aid any discussions with your vet, here are a few key features about Little Hunter:

  • Freeze-dried (uncooked raw), human-grade/ USDA meat centered
  • Meat is the majority ingredient, including bones and organs with no added hormones, antibiotics
  • Nutritionally balanced & complete with fresh fruits & veggies - that's it!
  • All natural - no added anything, nothing artificial, no junk
  • Recipes are crafted by board-certified veterinary nutritionists, holistic veterinarian to meet/ exceed AAFCO standards

What's the shelf life?

Little Hunter food is freeze-dried, without added preservatives, and shelf stable for up to a year!

How is that possible? By freeze-drying our food raw, we remove all the moisture from it (the main source of spoiling). That significantly extends the life of our food without the need of artificial preservatives. The best part, because it's still raw and in it's original form (just dehydrated) - it retains 97% of it's nutrients!

To help protect it further, store Little Hunter in a cool, dry place. Once opened, a bag should be used within 60 days.

How do I prepare the food?

Unlike frozen raw food packets, Little Hunter freeze-dried food comes ready to serve. Simply measure a Little Hunter serving, pour into your pup's bowl, and watch them chow down!

Have a dog that prefers moist over crunchy? No problem – add 1 part water to 2 parts LH, and let it sit for 10 minutes before enjoying.

Little Hunter can be stored in a cool, dry place (no refrigeration required!) and unopened bags last for several years – just be sure to check the expiration date! Opened bags should be consumed within 60 days."

Can't I just prepare raw food at home?

We know that all those who want to prepare fresh, raw dog food at home have nothing but the best intentions. You're all about doing what it takes to keep your pup healthy – so are we!

Unfortunately, research has found that about
95% of both raw and cooked online dog food recipes are nutritionally defficient.

Additionally, if preparing raw meat at home, you should be done with great care. When done improperly, it can expose both the pet and human family to bacterial and pathogen risks.

One of the many benefits of Little Hunter food, is neither of these are a concern with our meals.

Our recipes are formulated by holistic veterinarians who are experts in canine nutrition. They're also balanced, wholesome, and analyzed to ensure they meet nutritional AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

Additionally, our food goes through high-pressure processing, which naturally destroys harmful bacteria without affecting its nutritional value – something very difficult to do if you're making fresh raw food at home!

Feel free to browse our menu and give freeze-dried raw a try!

How are Little Hunter recipes formulated?

We’ve partnered with experts in veterinary care and pet nutrition to take care of your little hunter every step of the way. Each recipe has been carefully formulated to ensure optimal nutrition and a balanced diet. All of our recipes meet and exceed AAFCO standards.

What if my dog doesn't like it?

My dog has an upset stomach after eating Little Hunter

We want to start by saying the entire Little Hunter pack hopes your dog is feeling better – we take pup health very seriously.

We've found that pups who transition too quickly to our food can have upset stomachs. We recommend a gradual transition over 10-14 days. That timeframe usually allows the digestive system to adapt to the new food rather than overwhelm it.

A sudden diet change can shock the gastrointestinal tract. While not typically a cause for serious concern, can definitely result in diarrhea, vomiting, and general discomfort, which we certainly want to avoid!

We're here to do all we can to help soothe your pup's tummy as soon as possible, so don't hesitate to reach out to us with any specific conerns or questions.

Our nutritionally balanced recipes are the perfect blend of raw protein, fat, and calcium to nourish your pup while promoting immune system strength and joint, bone, and muscle health in their senior years. A healthy weight may help extend a dog's life by up to three years!

We suggest starting with about 25% less food per day than a normal meal size - our customer service team can help you figure out your starting point, and then adjusting based on how your pup is doing.

How long does a bag last? Larger sizes?

One bag lasts about a week for a 20 lb pup (take our quiz to get a better start for your pup's activity level and age). We don't have larger sizes but we do discount for larger pups / orders!

How many cups per bag?

There are about 8 cups of food per bag as measured out with a standard kitchen measuring cup.

How much does Little Hunter cost?

It depends! Your cost will vary based on your dog's size, age, activity level but as a general rule of thumb and every dog is different - one bag of Little Hunter is typically enough to feed a 20-25-pound adult dog with a normal activity level for about a week. Remember, 1 cup of our food is equal to about 3 cups of fresh food (and made with 4x more meat).

Also, we offer discounting based on how much food you need up to 50% off when you create a custom plan through our quiz here. Let us know if you have any questions and of course, we're happy to build your plan for you if you prefer!





Feel free to browse our menu while you're at it! There, you'll find the cost per bag plus tons of helpful info, like how to transition to raw.

Our Menu

Why include fruits & veggies?

We add fruits and vegetables to balance the nutrition to AAFCO standards and ensure your pup gets the vitamins, antioxidants, fiber they need, and more!

Antioxidants from fruit and veggies are powerful at fighting abnormal cell growth and the free radicals your dog's body naturally produces. They counteract the damage these free radicals do to healthy cells. Antioxidants are also known for fighting against cancers and boosting your dog's immunity, making them less likely to fall ill. What does all that mean? That by simply adding fresh fruits and veggies to our recipes, we're helping pups stay healthy and naturally combat disease.

But the benefits don't end there! Fruits and vegetables contain natural fiber, helping keep your dog regular while fighting diseases in the digestive system.

Offers for first-time buyers?

We offer 40% off your first order! (use the code on the site or message us for one) Feel free to try out a recipe or two and grab a bag of our beloved treats for some paws-itive reinforcement.

Worried your pup won't love us? We get it – it can be scary trying something new, especially if you're going from kibble to raw. That's why we offer a 100% money-back guarantee, so you can try raw risk-free!

What's the texture/size of the food?

Our bites are crunchy, small, whole bits (not soft), and great for dogs of all sizes, even itty bitty fur babies! Have a pup that prefers soft or moist food? Try adding about half a cup of warm water or broth for one cup of Little Hunter. Let it sit for 10 minutes before your pup enjoys!

Browse Our Menu

Where is Little Hunter food made?

Our food is proudly sourced and made in Wisconsin. Each recipe is made in small batches and ships shortly after production. As its shelf-stable, our food will easily keep for a few months and still taste fresh!

Why grain-free?

To keep things simple, we've focused our meals on three key nutrition pillars:

  1. Complete and balanced per AAFCO guidelines.
  2. Made with meat, organ & finely-ground bone diet – a dog's preferred and biologically-appropriate raw diet.
  3. A mixture of fresh fruits and vegetables for fiber & anti-oxidant disease-fighting benefits to balance out and meet nutritional needs.

Using the above guiding principles, we believe our team has created diets that keep pups happy, healthy, and thriving. Browse our recipes to get started!

Browse Recipes

Do I need to add water?

Nope, you don't need to add water to our raw food! It's delicious as is, but if your pup prefers wet food, we'd recommend adding about 1 part warm water to 2 parts Little Hunter. Let it sit for 10 minutes, and then bone appétit!

Is Little Hunter salt-free?

Our meal recipes contain a small amount of Sea Salt to meet AAFCO standards while our treats are single-ingredient (and thus, salt-free).

What about Prop 65 safety?

Our food does not contain any of the items flagged under Prop 65. We use only lab-tested, safe ingredients approved by AAFCO – the US government agency responsible for approving pet food ingredients and the gold standard for pet food ingredient safety.

Get Started

Are synthetic vitamins used?

No! Never!

Because our food is raw, high in meat and made with whole animal (including organs and bone), we don't need to add synthetic vitamins to make up for what has been cooked off (or was never there to begin).

We add fresh fruit & vegetables to provide the remainder of fiber, vitamins and minerals, as well as trace amounts of copper, zinc, iron, and manganese as amino acid complexes, to make it easy for a pup's stomach to absorb our nutrient-rich food creating a perfectly balanced meal that meets AAFCO guidelines.

Again - the only ingredients in our food are meat (inc. organs and bones), fruits & vegetables. That's it!

I have a picky pup–any transition tips?

It can take dogs some time to get used to new food and we recommend transitioning over a 1 to 2 week period to avoid upset stomachs & ensure a smooth transition.

To help your pup get accustomed to our savory raw meals, try feeding as a treat to start, then as a as a meal topper, mixing in more and more until it's their only food. 

You can also add a bit of warm water to unlock the mouth-watering aromas of our meaty recipes if you find your pup reluctant (it can often take a little time for pups that have developed a sweet tooth for kibble especially).

For more details on transitioning, tips and tricks, check out our transition blog!

Do you carry puppy food?

We understand that feeding your furry friend the right things can be difficult. That's why we've taken extra care to formulate balanced, wholesome meals for every stage of a pup's life.

Because of that, we don't have puppy-specific food. Instead, you can find the right amount of Little Hunter food for your dog (pup, full-grown, or enjoying senior years) based on age, weight, and activity level. This ensures the actual nutrition needs of your dog, wherever life stage they're in, are being met.

Little Hunter food is freeze-dried, without added preservatives, and shelf stable for up to a year!

How is that possible? By freeze-drying our food raw, we remove all the moisture from it (the main source of spoiling). That significantly extends the life of our food without the need of artificial preservatives. The best part, because it's still raw and in it's original form (just dehydrated) - it retains 97% of it's nutrients!

To help protect it further, store Little Hunter in a cool, dry place. Once opened, a bag should be used within 60 days.

What's the texture/size of the food?

Our bites are crunchy, small, whole bits (not soft), and great for dogs of all sizes, even itty bitty fur babies! Have a pup that prefers soft or moist food? Try adding about half a cup of warm water or broth for one cup of Little Hunter. Let it sit for 10 minutes before your pup enjoys!

Where is Little Hunter food made?

Our food is proudly sourced and made in Wisconsin. Each recipe is made in small batches and ships shortly after production. As its shelf-stable, our food will easily keep for a few months and still taste fresh!

Ingredients
Are synthetic vitamins used?

No! Never!

Because our food is raw, high in meat and made with whole animal (including organs and bone), we don't need to add synthetic vitamins to make up for what has been cooked off (or was never there to begin).

We add fresh fruit & vegetables to provide the remainder of fiber, vitamins and minerals, as well as trace amounts of copper, zinc, iron, and manganese as amino acid complexes, to make it easy for a pup's stomach to absorb our nutrient-rich food creating a perfectly balanced meal that meets AAFCO guidelines.

Again - the only ingredients in our food are meat (inc. organs and bones), fruits & vegetables. That's it!

Is Little Hunter salt-free?

Our meal recipes contain a small amount of Sea Salt to meet AAFCO standards while our treats are single-ingredient (and thus, salt-free).

What about Prop 65 safety?

Our food does not contain any of the items flagged under Prop 65. We use only lab-tested, safe ingredients approved by AAFCO – the US government agency responsible for approving pet food ingredients and the gold standard for pet food ingredient safety.

What ingredients are used?

We understand the importance of good, raw nutrition; that's why we use only the best meats, fruits & vegetables for our recipes - that's it! There is literally nothing else added! No flavorings, synthetic vitamins, grain, gluten, rendered by-products or any kind of junk (or anything you wouldn't find in your own kitchen) in our meals.

Our meats are bona fide fresh and humanely sourced raw ingredients from USA suppliers of USDA and pasture-raised meats, with no added homrones or antibiotics and carefully crafted to meet your pup's nutritional needs no matter the life stage they're in.

Where are your meats & ingredients sourced from?

Our food is proudly USA sourced and made in Wisconsin. Each recipe is made with human-grade, USDA rated meat made in small batches and ships shortly after production. As its shelf-stable, our food will easily keep for a few months and still taste fresh!

Why grain-free?

To keep things simple, we've focused our meals on three key nutrition pillars:

  1. Complete and balanced per AAFCO guidelines.
  2. Made with meat, organ & finely-ground bone diet – a dog's preferred and biologically-appropriate raw diet.
  3. A mixture of fresh fruits and vegetables for fiber & anti-oxidant disease-fighting benefits to balance out and meet nutritional needs.

Using the above guiding principles, we believe our team has created diets that keep pups happy, healthy, and thriving. Browse our recipes to get started!

Why include fruits & veggies?

We add fruits and vegetables to balance the nutrition to AAFCO standards and ensure your pup gets the vitamins, antioxidants, fiber they need, and more!

Antioxidants from fruit and veggies are powerful at fighting abnormal cell growth and the free radicals your dog's body naturally produces. They counteract the damage these free radicals do to healthy cells. Antioxidants are also known for fighting against cancers and boosting your dog's immunity, making them less likely to fall ill. What does all that mean? That by simply adding fresh fruits and veggies to our recipes, we're helping pups stay healthy and naturally combat disease.

But the benefits don't end there! Fruits and vegetables contain natural fiber, helping keep your dog regular while fighting diseases in the digestive system.
