What Are Freeze Dried Dog Treats?
Freeze dried dog treats are raw cuts of meat that are flash frozen at really low temperatures. The process of freeze drying removes 98% to 99% of the moisture and helps lock in essential nutrients and extend shelf life. Dog treats and food that have been freeze dried will retain nutrients, smell, and flavor, and make a healthy snack or meal for your pup.

Freeze Dried Dog Treats FAQ:
What are the benefits of freeze-dried dog treats?

They can be effortlessly split into smaller portions, making them ideal for training, adding as food toppers, or for precise portion management.
Are freeze-dried dog treats suitable for all dog breeds?
Yes, freeze-dried dog treats are generally suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. However, it's important to consider your dog's specific dietary needs and any potential allergies when selecting treats.
Can freeze-dried dog treats be used for training?
Absolutely! Freeze-dried dog treats are an excellent choice for training due to their small, bite-sized pieces and intense flavors. They serve as effective incentives during obedience training or skill development.
Can freeze-dried dog treats be used as a food topper?
Yes, freeze-dried dog treats can be used as a delectable food topper to enhance the taste and appeal of your dog's meals. Simply crumble the treat between your fingers into a fine, powder-like consistency, and sprinkle it over your dog's meal.
What is the purpose of rehydrating freeze dried dog treats?
The purpose of rehydrating freeze-dried dog treats is to restore moisture to the treat, making it softer and more palatable for dogs, especially those with dental issues or elderly dogs who may have difficulty chewing hard treats. Rehydration also adds a layer of hydration to your dog's diet, which can be beneficial, especially if they don't drink enough water.
How to store freeze-dried dog treats?
To maintain their freshness, keep your freeze-dried treats in their original resealable packaging and store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid refrigeration or freezing, as it can compromise their quality, and periodically check for signs of moisture inside the packaging.
What is the difference between freeze dried and dehydrated dog treats?
The main difference lies in the process and moisture content. Freeze-dried treats are flash frozen, preserving their flavor and nutrients with very minimal moisture. Dehydrated treats, on the other hand, are slowly heated to remove moisture, which can make them more hard and crunchy. Both are nutritious options, so the choice depends on your dog's preferences and dietary needs.
