In celebration of National Raw Feeding Week, let’s review raw-freeze dried diets. While raw frozen diets may be the gold standard of pet nutrition, freeze-dried raw is another option. Many raw frozen diet manufacturers like Stella & Chewy’s, Instinct, Primal, Small Batch & Vital Essentials offer companion raw-freeze dried diets with similar ingredients. Freeze-dried raw food retains many of the benefits of raw frozen and is especially convenient. Freeze dried foods use pressure to remove moisture, unlike dry kibble that is cooked at high temperature resulting in the loss of many nutrients. Moreover while kibble is made with starchy carbohydrates like legumes or sweet potatoes, freeze-dried raw is made with vegetables and is lower in carbohydrates. Freeze dried diets, treats and toppers are highly digestible, work well for most pets and seem to be especially tasty!
