A Pup Above Texas Beef Stew is a sous vide cooked, refrigerated fresh recipe sold in 3 pound and 7 pound bags, with each pound of food measured out as one patty. Beef is the first ingredient by pre cooking weight, followed by beef liver, russet potatoes, tomatoes and beef bone broth, giving the recipe a stew-like combination of muscle meat, organ meat and broth rather than a dry meal base. A Pup Above describes the brand's beef as grass fed and calls the recipe out for its taurine content, though the guaranteed taurine minimum on this recipe is lower than on the manufacturer's Turkey or Fish recipes. A Pup Above formulates the recipe for all life stages under its company wide AAFCO standard, and states the food is made in USDA-inspected, human-grade kitchens. The company publishes a patties per day feeding chart by dog weight on the same product page. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
