This estimate is based on the product’s adult feeding guidelines. Percentages refer to estimated daily calories, not food weight or volume. When combining foods, reduce the other food based on its calorie content to help avoid overfeeding. Every dog is different, so adjust as needed to maintain an ideal body condition. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs may have different feeding needs. This recipe is not formulated for the growth of large-size dogs expected to weigh 70 pounds or more as adults.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is freeze-drying?

Freeze-drying removes moisture from frozen ingredients at low temperatures, creating a lightweight, shelf-stable product while preserving flavor and nutritional value.

What are the benefits of freeze-dried dog food and treats?

Freeze-dried products offer a convenient way to add animal protein, flavor, texture, and variety to your dog's routine without the need for refrigeration before opening.

Can I mix freeze-dried products with kibble?

Yes. Freeze-dried products can be mixed with kibble or served alongside your dog's regular food. Be sure to account for the additional calories when determining your dog's total daily feeding amount.

Can freeze-dried products be used for picky eaters?

Yes. The flavor and aroma of freeze-dried ingredients can make them an appealing addition to your dog's bowl. Try crumbling a small amount over their regular food or adding water for a softer texture.

How should I store freeze-dried products after opening?

Keep the package tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry place away from excess heat and moisture.

Do freeze-dried products add calories to my dog's diet?

Yes. Freeze-dried products contribute calories just like any other food or treat. Consider the calories from freeze-dried products as part of your dog's overall daily intake.

How do I transition my dog to this food?

Transition over 7 to 10 days by gradually increasing the amount of the new food while decreasing your dog's current food.

    All 4 of my dogs LOVE the elk bites! Wish there were other flavors of the freeze dried bites besides the elk, beef and chicken. Venison, bison, kangaroo, ostrich, rabbit, pork, lamb, cod, would all be great flavors!!

    Absolutely must have

    I train a SAR dog no matter where we go so it’s nice to have these on hand for training. They are easy to keep in my pockets and pouch, she loves them and I love how healthy they are for her.
