Most premium dog food arrives frozen, on a schedule, in an insulated box you have to be home for. There is a version that does not.
This page is written for owners in Salt Lake City weighing up freeze-dried raw. The nutrition below holds wherever you live — what changes locally is delivery, not diet — so we would rather give you the substance than pad it with things we cannot actually verify about your city.
Subscription without the lock-in
Auto-delivery exists so you do not run out mid-week, not to trap you. Skip, delay or cancel at any point, and Halo Club members hold 20% off every order rather than a first-box discount that quietly expires.
The quarter-bowl answer
Feed Loyal Saints as about 25% of the bowl, replacing a quarter of the existing food rather than adding on top. Because the food is concentrated rather than diluted, a quarter still puts real freeze-dried raw into every meal.
At Halo Club pricing that is about $4.04 a day for a 50 lb dog and $5.48 for a 75 lb dog.
Shelf-stable changes the logistics
Freeze-drying removes the water before the food ships. No refrigeration, no thawing, no freezer shelf, no delivery window, and no ruined box if a courier runs a day late in July.
It also travels — a weekend away or a stay at the vet does not require a cooler.
What you are actually paying to ship
Fresh refrigerated food is roughly three-quarters water by weight. That water is portioned, chilled, packed with single-use coolant and driven to your door, then occupies your freezer until you use it.
Cold chain logistics is one of the most expensive ways to move anything, which is why it is normally reserved for medicine and seafood.
Why the scoop looks small
A cup of Loyal Saints weighs 50.9 g and carries 230 calories. A cup of a typical adult kibble weighs 101 g. Same cup, roughly twice the food by weight.
Per gram, Loyal Saints carries about 29% more energy. That inversion is why the correct portion looks stingy in the bowl, and why most people overfeed in the first week.
All life stages, and what that means
Every formula is complete and balanced for all life stages, so the food does not change as your dog ages — the amount does.
Puppies need considerably more energy per pound than adults. Seniors usually need less, though not always. Start from the chart, then adjust by body condition over a few weeks.
Single protein, and why it matters practically
Every Loyal Saints bag contains one named animal protein — Beef, Chicken, or Turkey with Salmon.
Beyond ingredient purity, this has a practical consequence: if your dog reacts to something, a single-protein food lets you identify what it was. A recipe blending several proteins makes an elimination trial close to impossible.
A note on measuring
Scoop and level rather than pressing down. The cup figures assume loose, level cups, and packing the food in will quietly make you underfeed.
Common questions
Does it need refrigeration?
No. It is shelf-stable because the water is gone. Store it sealed in a cupboard.
Is there a subscriber discount?
Halo Club members hold 20% off every order, not just the first.
How long does an opened bag keep?
Sealed and dry, several weeks. Roll the top closed and keep it out of humidity.
