Choosing Air Dried and Dehydrated Foods
Dogology Tip - Air Dried and Dehydrated raw foods are among the easiest to prepare, best tasting, most nutritious products we can choose for our pets diet. Fresh raw meats, vegetables and other wholesome ingredients are freeze dried or air dried at the peak of freshness and packaged for our convenience. The dry products are shelf stable, and weigh considerably less than the hydrated product would weigh, so it is easy to transport and store. If not used as an entire diet, consider adding any of these to a processed diet to "boost" your pets nutrition and health. Fresh food is the healthiest, after all!
Our Preferred Air Dried and Dehydrated Foods for Dogs
The Honest Kitchen
Dehydrated Whole Food
To ensure your pets eat the safest, healthiest and highest quality foods, insist on 100% human grade. It’s a real standard no feed-grade food can claim. From eggs and salmon to pumpkin and parsley, wholesome foods you recognize and can pronounce are the only ingredients we use. We’ve adopted a time-honored technique for preserving the nutrients in our foods — dehydration. We ditch the heavy processing of feed-grade foods, taking a gentler approach instead. We try all sorts of recipes to find ones that are bottom-of-the-bowl-licking good.
