Freeze-dried food is an all around powerhouse! Not only is it packed full of high quality, minimally processed nutrition, but because of its versatility it is easy to incorporate freeze-dried food into any dog or cat's diet! Freeze-dried food is highly palatable and can be fed on its own, mixed into food, or used at treats. If fed on it's own, you'll need to rehydrate it with water or better yet, bone broth or goat milk! It's great as a topper, crumbled up on your pet's regular food to entice finicky eaters and add a nutritional boost. And of course, we love using freeze-dried treats because they won't put on the pounds like biscuits. 

What exactly is freeze-dried food?    

Freeze-dried food is exactly the same as raw pet food with the only difference being the moisture has been removed during the freeze-drying process. The freeze-drying process includes freezing the food, lowering the pressure around the food, removing the moisture, and sealing the product. The freeze-drying process acts as a preservative which is how the food can last so long once it has been freeze-dried. Other preservatives are not necessary, nor is refrigeration. Which makes it an excellent option for traveling!    

So why get on the freeze-dried frenzy?    

Freeze-dried food has the ease and convenience of kibble yet it’s comprised of the same great ingredients as a raw diet. Since it is minimally processed, nutrients are kept intact. Amino acids, enzymes, and minerals are retained that greatly benefit your pup’s gut and digestive system. This same lack of processing eliminates the need for harmful preservatives. For pet parents who want to feed their dogs a raw diet but worry about finding, handling, and preparing fresh raw meat themselves, freeze-dried food can be a fast and simple alternative.
