2 quarts - Raw Buffalo Milk for Cats & Dogs (Glass)

Our raw milk should last about 2 weeks in the fridge after you receive it. Every jug comes with a best by date on the cap to help guide you. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (contaminants getting in, etc).

Yes, raw milk can be frozen. We recommend freezing it when very fresh, just after you receive it. We also recommend freezing for no more than 6 months (the longer it's frozen, the more probiotic loss). One last thing to keep in mind is that some pets may notice a change in flavor when thawed. So it's always good to so a small test before committing to freezing in bulk.

Your cats & dogs will love lapping our milk on its own in a bowl. You can also add it to their regular food, pouring it on top of kibble or wet food.

*Dairy shouldn't be a staple food for cats and dogs. Being carnivores (or nearly carnivores), raw meat is their essential food. Use dairy as a treat or mix in with their other food for a limited period.

Why raw milk for cats and dogs? What's up with that?
We believe that your whole family should get the best quality, most nutrient-dense, safest foods available. That’s why our pet food is made in the same way that we would prepare food for ourselves - with the highest quality farming standards, a straightforward process, and extreme attention to detail.

What are your milk safety standards?
Milk safety is a top priority. Buffalo Valley Pastures follows all of the protocols for raw milk production for humans in the Pennsylvania. They test regularly for both general bacteria counts as well as specific pathogens.

Will the cream rise to the top?
Yes! The buffalo milk is non-homogenized. When it sits, the cream will rise to the top. Simply shake to recombine.

What's the fat content?
Buffalo milk is high in fat and contains anywhere from 6-12% fat. This is why it has such a rich, creamy consistency.

What breed are your buffalo?
Our buffalo are Swamp and River Water Buffalo breeds from India.

What are the buffalo fed?
The buffalo are 100% grass-fed and truly pastured in regenerated fields. They are outside as much as the weather allows. They're fed fresh pasture in the warmer months and dry pasture in the colder months.

Is your buffalo milk A2/A2?
Yes! All buffalo naturally produce A2/A2 milk. This is because buffalo (and all mammals) did not undergo a genetic mutation like cows did.

Does all of your buffalo milk come from one farm?
Yes, all buffalo milk comes from Buffalo Valley Pastures.

Our raw milk is made simply and is never heated or altered in any way. Here's how we do it:
1. The buffalo are milked using old fashioned pneumatic milkers. 
2. The milk is poured into the bulk tank to cool down quickly.
3. The milk is bottled to order the day before or the day we pack it for you.
