FAQs - Freeze-Dried Dog Food

What is the difference between freeze-dried and air-dried dog food?

Freeze-dried dog food uses low temperatures to lock in nutrients without cooking, while air-dried food uses gentle heat for moisture removal. Both retain flavor and nutrients, but freeze-dried offers a closer raw-like profile. 

Is freeze-dried dog food suitable for all breeds and life stages?

Yes, most freeze-dried dog foods are formulated for all breeds and life stages. Always check labels like those on Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend or NutriSource Element Sliders for specific guidance.

Can freeze-dried food be fed as a complete meal or only as a topper?

Many freeze-dried formulas, like Ultimate Pet Nutrition Nutra Complete, are complete and balanced meals, but some can be used as toppers. Check nutritional adequacy statements for confirmation.

How do I transition my dog to freeze-dried or raw-style food?

Gradually mix the new freeze-dried food with your dog’s current food over 7–10 days to avoid digestive upset. Start with 25% of the new food and increase as tolerated. Transition gently to products like Badlands Ranch Superfood for best results.

Does freeze-dried dog food help with sensitive stomachs?

Yes, limited ingredient and bland freeze-dried formulas like Under the Weather Rice & Chicken are gentle on digestion and ideal for sensitive stomachs. They reduce allergens and ease gastrointestinal issues.
