Steak Frites Dinner Freeze-Dried Dog Food

Verified Aug 30, 2026

Dog · Dry Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, freeze-dried beef-based food for adult dogs, made from gently cooked, bone-free beef and egg as the main animal protein sources. Pumpkin, sweet potato, and carrot add digestible carbohydrates and fiber, while added vitamins and minerals help round it out as a balanced diet. Its bite-sized, freeze-dried cubes are designed to be fed as a complete meal when properly portioned.

KibbleLab Score
9.1 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a rich, meat-forward freeze-dried option for adult dogs who do well on higher protein and fat diets. Beef and egg provide highly digestible animal protein, with vegetables contributing fiber and some carbohydrates. The calorie density is quite high, so it suits dogs where you’re comfortable carefully measuring smaller portions and, ideally, adding water for better hydration.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Beef and whole egg supply high-quality, highly digestible animal protein for most dogs.
  • Freeze-dried cubes are convenient, shelf-stable, and can be rehydrated to improve palatability and moisture intake.
  • Includes pumpkin, sweet potato, and carrot, which can provide natural fiber and beneficial nutrients.
  • Added fish oil and sunflower oil can help provide essential fatty acids important for skin, coat, and overall health.

Considerations

  • Beef and egg are common food allergens, so this would not be suitable for dogs sensitive to those ingredients.
  • At about 4,525 kcal per kg, this food is very calorie-dense, so portion sizes need to be measured carefully, especially for less active dogs.
  • The minimum fat level is relatively high at 20%, which may not be ideal for dogs needing lower-fat diets or with a history of pancreatitis.
  • As a freeze-dried, minimally processed food, it may be richer than some kibble, so very sensitive dogs may need a slow transition.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.

02
Whole Egg
Whole egg is a highly digestible, nutrient-dense ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods as a complete protein and source of healthy fats, essential amino acids, fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D), B vitamins including B12 and choline, and other micronutrients. It enhances palatability and supports muscle, skin and coat health, but should be cooked to reduce salmonella risk and deactivate avidin in raw egg white (which can impair biotin absorption if fed frequently), and may be allergenic or calorie-dense for some pets.
03
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.

04
Egg White
Egg white is a highly digestible, low‑fat, high‑quality protein source in pet foods, supplying concentrated albumin and essential amino acids that support muscle maintenance and growth in dogs and cats. It provides a lean protein alternative to meat but lacks the vitamins and fats of the yolk, can be an allergen for some pets, and raw egg white contains avidin (which can interfere with biotin) and may carry salmonella risk, so cooked or pasteurized forms are preferred.
05
Beef Lung
Beef lung is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich ingredient that is relatively lean and easy to digest. It supplies B vitamins, iron and trace minerals but is not a complete diet on its own, so it should come from reputable sources and be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk and monitored for individual food sensitivities.
