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 Portland OR — Human-Grade Freeze-Dried 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.
Working out what to order
Order size follows from the feeding chart rather than guesswork. A 14 oz bag is about 7.8 cups; a 50 lb dog fed a quarter bowl uses a little under a cup a day, so a bag runs roughly eight days.
Set the interval from that, then adjust once after the first cycle.
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.
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.
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.
Why stool volume is the fastest signal
Ingredients a dog cannot absorb have to leave somewhere. Stool volume is not a formal measure of digestibility, but it is free, needs no equipment, and moves within about two weeks of a diet change.
It is usually the first thing owners notice, ahead of coat, which waits on new growth and takes four to six weeks.
You are not paying to ship water
Fresh refrigerated food is roughly three-quarters water by weight, and that water is chilled, boxed with coolant and driven to your door on a schedule.
Freeze-drying removes it before shipping. No refrigeration, no thawing, no freezer shelf, no delivery window — and if you want the moisture back, it comes free from your own tap.
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.
