Food (MEAT, frozen) into canada

We sell raw meat here. Bones too. Your dog isn't the only one.

It's all about the packaging. We bring back packaged meat from the US all the time, and it's never been challenged, because it's in the original packaging. Same for dairy, and frozen food, and canned food. If CBSA can look at it and see that it's been inspected by the FDA/USDA, it's probably OK. No labels, no entry.
I would call anyway to verify, but I think if you've cut up raw meat and put it in baggies to freeze, I'm pretty sure they'll reject or seize it, because they can't be sure of it's point of origin or whether it was ever government inspected.
Works the same way for us if we entered the US with unpackaged anything. They want to see packaging with CFIA or other provincial labels on whatever we have to verify it's been government inspected.

Another option would be to buy what you feed the pooch in Canada, if you can't get your prepared stuff in. That will work.

Actually it is human food given to pet...but I will try and get a person to talk to. Technically it is not pet grade food.

You are probably right...will search for a phone number.

You may be relieved of your "raw unpackaged" pet food at CBSA customs.

Not sure what they'd do if you said it was for your consumption, but I would imagine the response would be similar. The problem I believe is the lack of commercial packaging won't show any FDA/USDA inspection info because there isn't any.
Could you purchase the meat at a commercial supermarket like Walmart/Target/whatever, and leave it in the packaging with the FDA/USDA inspection info intact? That might get you through.

You need an official response. Call a CDN border crossing...get the name of the person you talk with. Ask the questions. I know you can bring in some..I do it all the time...but if quantity changes that? I just don't know. And the fact is..what is okay..or not okay today, has little bearing on what is okay/not okay next year.
