Freeze-dried food stores longer than kibble. In addition to being raw and lightly processed, freeze-dried dog diets offer other benefits: 1. Many people who feed home-prepared or commercial raw diets to their dogs when they are home replace this diet with a freeze-dried raw food when they travel, or when the dog is left with a sitter who doesn’t want to deal with a fresh or frozen raw diet. All the freeze-dried raw diets we reviewed are grain-free – not because we think grains are inappropriate in these foods it’s the food manufacturers who seem to have decided that raw feeders won’t buy a product that contains any grain. Most of the other ingredients in freeze-dried dog food diets are raw and/or very lightly processed. All of the freeze-dried dog food diets are made with a high inclusion of meat some contain as much as 95 percent animal muscle meat, organ meat, and raw ground bone. Many are made with organic ingredients many are made with certified humanely raised and/or grass-fed meats. Are you looking for the most expensive way to feed your dog? Probably not – but if price is no object, the freeze-dried dog food products we’ll describe here are very high-quality foods that are extremely shelf-stable (in many cases, without the use of any preservative, or with a natural preservative only).
