Question 1

Is freeze dried dog food better than kibble?

Accepted Answer

Freeze dried dog food retains more nutrients, enzymes, and natural flavors than kibble because it's minimally processed. It's closer to a raw diet while offering the convenience of dry food.

Question 2

How long does freeze dried dog food last?

Accepted Answer

Unopened freeze dried dog food typically lasts 12-24 months. Once opened and rehydrated, it should be used within 24 hours. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Question 3

Do you need to rehydrate freeze dried dog food?

Accepted Answer

Most freeze dried complete and balanced foods require rehydration. Add warm water (about 1:1 ratio) and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Freeze dried treats can be fed dry.

Question 4

Is freeze dried dog food safe for puppies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many freeze dried formulas are specifically designed for puppies with higher protein and fat content. Always check the product label for AAFCO puppy nutrient profiles and consult your veterinarian.

Question 5

How do I transition my dog to freeze dried food?

Accepted Answer

Gradually mix freeze dried food with current food over 7-10 days. Start with 25% new food, increase to 50% after 3-4 days, then 75%, and finally 100% freeze dried. Watch for digestive issues during transition.
