Loyal Saints is woman-owned, 100% freeze-dried raw — complete nutrition from whole food, no fillers, no synthetic premix. Find the right formula for your dog in 60 seconds.
Feeding freeze-dried raw is simple once you know the right amount. Portions depend on your dog's weight, activity level, and whether you're feeding it as a topper or a complete meal. Here's how to dial it in.
Feeding by weight (as a complete meal)
-
Small (under 20 lbs): ¼ – ½ cup per day
-
Medium (20–50 lbs): ½ – 1 cup per day
-
Large (50–90 lbs): 1 – 1¾ cups per day
-
Giant (90+ lbs): 1¾ – 3 cups per day
Split the total across two meals, and adjust for activity—couch companions need a little less, athletes a little more.
Feeding as a topper
Using Loyal Saints over your dog's current food? Start with about 20% of their bowl. It's the easiest, most budget-friendly way to upgrade nutrition.
