Storage, Handling & Feeding Guidelines

Bravo! Balance recipes are formulated to meet and/or exceed the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO dog food nutrient profiles for all life stages. Always provide fresh water.

Some raw food products may contain bacteria that could cause illness to you or the animals you are feeding if mishandled. For your
protection, follow these instructions for safest use. Keep frozen until ready to use.

Thaw in refrigerator or microwave.

Keep meat and poultry separate from other foods. Wash working surfaces, utensils (including cutting boards, preparation and feeding bowls), hands, and any other items that touch or contact raw meat or poultry with hot soapy water. Refrigerate leftovers immediately.

Refrigerator thawing: Generally a burger will thaw and be ready to serve 6-8 hours after being placed in the refrigerator from the freezer. Remember to place the thawing burgers in a bowl or non-plastic covered container or plate. Do not remove the burger from the overwrap while it thaws.  Serve immediately after removing the overwrap. Once thawed, product should be served within 1-2 days.  Carefully wash bowl or plate with hot, soapy water before reuse.

Microwave thawing: While it is best to avoid microwaving, it is sometimes a necessity. When you do find it necessary, be sure to set the power level at 30% or less and microwave for periods of a minute or less, repeating until the meat is just thawed. It is important that you not let the meat temperature get too high so that the bone does not cook and harden. Remember to place the wrapped burger in a covered glass bowl or a non-plastic covered container to make sure the meat juices don't leak out.
