Our mild kefir for cats & dogs should last about 2-3 weeks after you receive it. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (time out of the fridge, contaminants getting in, etc).

Make sure to keep your kefir in the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf. That's where the temperatures stay cool and consistent, creating the ideal environment to maintain the freshness of your kefir. By keeping it at the back, away from any temperature fluctuations, you're ensuring that every cup remains as delicious as the first!

Can I freeze kefir?
We don’t recommend freezing kefir. The consistency will change a lot. It will likely separate and become clumpy or grainy, which may not be the best eating experience for your furry family.

Pour into a bowl for you cat or dog to lap up. Can also be poured on top of or stirred into kibble or wet food. Or, freeze on a lick mat or as a popsicle for a cooling treat.

*Dairy shouldn't be a staple food for dogs and cats. Being 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 kefir for cats & dogs?
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. Although it's not required for raw pet milk, Miller's Bio Farm is certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for raw milk production and bottling for humans in PA. We also go above and beyond what's "required" for that certification by testing every batch of milk on site for general bacteria counts.

What is kefir?
It’s a fermented milk drink. It’s tangy, similar to yogurt, but sourer. Our kefir will almost always be more sour than sweet, and will likely be more sour than store bought.

What's the difference between the raw mild kefir and raw bursting kefir for cats & dogs?
The raw mild kefir is made with a freeze dried culture. As the name suggests, it's milder in flavor and may be more palatable for your furry family. Because we're using a set culture, it's also more consistent from week to week.

The raw bursting kefir is made with real kefir grains. It's typically quite strong in flavor and very bubbly (as the name suggests, it can burst when opening). Since the culture is wild (passed down in our community for generations), the bursting kefir may change a lot from batch to batch and week to week.

The Kefir is watery on top. What should I do?
Separation with kefir is perfectly normal. You simply need to shake to recombine.

How long is it fermented for?
Our kefir is fermented overnight for about 12 hours.

Can I make my own kefir with it?
This is a contested issue. You might experience some kitchen magic and be able to make more kefir starting with our kefir at home. But, for the best possibility of success, you should start with real kefir grains. You won't find that in this product, as we use a freeze dried culture instead of grains.

Our mild kefir is made simply:
1. We warm our raw, 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised milk for cats & dogs to room temperature.
2. A touch of freeze dried culture is mixed in.
3. Into the culturing room it goes! The kefir stays there for 12 hours at no more than 110°F.
4. After a final stir, it's all set to be bottled.

The freeze dried culture used to make this product is proprietary. In other words, we do not know the exact ingredients.
