Freeze-Dried Raw
Freeze-dried raw is the safest way to feed your pup a raw diet, while homemade and (defrosted) frozen raw may leave dangerous pathogens behind in your kitchen. With freeze-dried food, however, temperatures are kept at extreme temperatures before it’s frozen again to vacuum dryness before being sealed in bags to maintain an identical protein content upon rehydration.
Created specifically with small breeds in mind, this nutritionally packed formula features turkey, chicken, quail eggs cage-free eggs herring and rockfish in smaller kibble sizes that fit their delicate mouths.
