We created Ruff Food Bites to deliver the same powerhouse formula as our Ruff Food Bars—just in a mess-free, bite-sized format that’s easy to scoop, serve, sprinkle or use as a treat. Whether you’re feeding at home, topping a bowl, or packing light for an adventure, Ruff Food Bites are ready whenever you are.
Crafted from real, nutrient-dense ingredients with no fillers, these bites are made from grass-fed beef, organ meats, and a blend of veggies—then freeze-dried or air-dried to lock in flavor and nutritional value without preservatives or excess moisture.
Inspired by Oakley, my daughter’s Type 1 Diabetic service dog, Ruff Food was originally developed in 2018 with the help of our holistic vet to fuel long backpacking trips. Today, these same recipes continue to support not only active dogs but also seniors and those with special dietary needs—including dogs battling cancer or chronic illness.
And because our family dog Frodo has a very sensitive digestive system and can’t tolerate raw food, we made some changes: we cut our Ruff Food Bars into smaller pieces and freeze-dried them to create Ruff Food Bites—a shelf-stable, easy-to-digest solution for dogs like Frodo.
Why it works:
✔️ 85% pasture-raised meat
✔️ 10% nutrient-rich organs
✔️ 5% produce + food-based vitamins & minerals
✔️ Freeze-dried & air-dried for shelf stability and maximum nutrients
✔️ No fillers, preservatives, or by-products
Available in Beef & Bison/Beef recipes
Feeding Guidelines:
Feed 2–3% of your dog’s ideal body weight per day. For freeze-dried or air-dried food, this equals about 35% of a raw diet by weight.
Example: A 30 lb dog typically needs ~10–15 oz of raw food daily = 3.5–5 oz of freeze-dried or air-dried food.
Adjust based on age, activity level, and condition.
Did You Know?
Air-dried and freeze-dried foods have a recovery rate of 19–35%—meaning you’re getting real, concentrated nutrition without the water weight.
Tested by couch cuddlers, city dogs, and serious trail hounds.

A definite favorite for Boris’s frozen enrichment bowls! I mix a cup of Ruff Food and two cups of water then pop it in the freezer overnight. It keeps him busy for about an hour!
Delicious!! He love love loves them. They look and smell like a meat stick. I love the ingredients have nothing weird in them and all words I can pronounce. The little packages make them so easy to toss in my backpack when we’re gonna be out and about. I love these. We will be getting more and hoping to try all the flavors.
These are the best training treats ever!! All my dogs eyes are on me when I have these treats in hand. Also, they are all natural! Nothing added. You can’t beat that!!!
Beef Ruff Food is a staple in our house, while we do the other Ruff Food proteins, beef is our mainstay!
Boris loves these so much I’ve already bought a second pack! He knows when I have one in my pocket and will come muzzle punch the pocket every so often while we are out on a hike. He’s definitely obsessed.
Hiking with my dogs means I’m always on the lookout for healthy, energizing snacks to keep them fueled on the trails and Ruff Bar’s Beef Ruff Food Bites have become our absolute go to. My dogs are obsessed with these bites. The moment I reach into the pack, their tails start wagging like crazy because they know what’s coming.
What I love most is that Ruff Bar doesn’t just make tasty treats they make quality treats. These beef bites are packed with real protein and natural ingredients that support energy and recovery during our long adventures. They’re lightweight and easy to carry, which makes them perfect for stuffing in my hiking bag.
Another huge plus? Ruff Bar takes safety seriously their dog treats are FDA-approved, which gives me peace of mind knowing that what I’m giving my dogs meets the highest standards.
On the trails, Ruff Bar Beef Ruff Food Bites aren’t just a snack they’re the best refuel my pups could ask for. Healthy, safe, and tail-wagging delicious. We won’t hit the trail without them!

These are my dog’s very favorite thing on the planet to eat. He will skip a pup cup to have a ruff bar. They are meaty and moist, a win for nutrition and fuel while on the trail!
This is my go-to for refueling during or after a hoke and the ONLY thing my dog is interested in when we are muzzle training which speaks volumes!
