Acabonac is a Native American word that means 'root place, the place where roots are grown'. Old texts spell Acabonac a number of ways - Accabonac, Akabomuk, Acabonac, etc.
Yes, our cattle are 100% grass fed. Regarding grassfed, versus grass finished, versus pasture finished... When it comes to cattle, the key question is simply: are the cattle fed grains? Ours are not, they are fed a 100% grass diet. Our pastures include a mix of cool season perennial grasses (e.g., ryegrass, orchardgrass, timothy), warm season annual grasses (e.g., crabgrass), and legumes (e.g., clovers). We seed our pastures and manage our grazing to optimize forage diversification, energy content and palatability.
All of our retail products arrive frozen. We flash freezer our beef at the time of processing to lock in freshness. And we individually package all of our retail products for storage in the freezer and refrigerator.
We ship orders on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Within our UPS ground network, most shipments arrive to customers the following day. For orders beyond our UPS ground zone, we ship UPS 2-Day Air service. All orders are packed with dry ice, and all items will arrive frozen. To every extent possible we use packing materials that are curbside recyclable. We are constantly working to reduce our carbon footprint and produce our product with minimal waste.

Absolutely! Unlike other raw dog foods Acabonac Pet is safe to cook. In fact some dogs who have spent much of their lives on a kibble diet prefer Acabonac Pet when it has been cooked first.
To cook: gently warm Acabonac Pet in a clean non stick fry pan (do not use oil), allow to cool to a comfortable temperature and serve!
Yes, raw food is safe for dogs to eat.
Dogs are natural carnivores with long, sharp teeth designed for eating meat. Their digestive tract secrets enzymes that enable them to safely consume raw meat and their stomach acids are strong enough to kill off most pathogenic bacteria. Because raw food is minimally processed and has been spared the heating process, it contains vital nutrients and enzymes that dogs need to efficiently digest their food and grow properly.
Acabonac Pet Food is completely raw; meaning that is has not undergone any cooking process. The meat, produce and seeds in Acabonac Pet Food are all in their basic raw form, as you would find in nature. Making it the healthiest choice for your dog.
Yes, many veterinarians recommend raw dog food because of the superior health benefits offered by a raw diet. Although dogs have eaten a raw diet in the wild for millions of years, it has only recently become commercially available. Awareness and popularity of raw dog food is growing quickly.
As a rule of thumb, adult dogs eat 2-3% of their body weight per day.

Puppies may require 50-75% more food depending on growth rate. For gestating/lactating females, you should consult with your veterinarian.
Keep frozen until ready to use. Measure your pet’s meal portion when frozen, according to the feeding guidelines.
Defrost your pet's daily portion by thawing in our plastic packaging in the refrigerator for approximately 6-8 hours. Some liquid when completely thawed is normal.
Patties may be kept refrigerated for 2-3 days and should be cold to the touch when served.
We recommend feeding raw food in a stainless steel bowl. Always have ample fresh water available at meal time.
If you’re not ready to fully transition to raw dog food or a 100% raw diet isn’t an option for you, Acabonac Pet can be used as a nutritious topper. Using Acabonac Pet as a topper over a premium (grain free, preservative free) kibble or canned food can add vital high quality nutrients to your pet’s food. Even a partial raw diet can provide benefits to your dog, helping with multiple issues such as skin problems and arthritis.
Most available dog toppers are either cooked or dehydrated products. They are produced using high heat that destroys much of the nutrients found in raw meat. Acabonac Pet raw patties leave nutrients as natural and nutrient dense as possible, the way canines have eaten for millions of years.
Switching to a raw dog food is easy! Check out our transition guide for complete assistance.
We are here to help you along the way.
