How freeze-drying works
Raw meat, organ or fish is frozen and then placed in a vacuum chamber. The ice turns straight into vapour — skipping the liquid stage — which means no high heat is ever applied.
Because heat is what denatures proteins and destroys sensitive nutrients, freeze-drying is the closest you can get to feeding raw without the freezer, the mess or the short shelf life.
Why dogs love them
Aroma is what drives a dog's appetite, and freeze-drying preserves it almost completely. That makes these treats a favourite with picky eaters, senior dogs with reduced appetite, and any dog you're trying to motivate in a distracting environment.
- Intense natural aroma — high-value for training
- Light and crumbly, easy to break into small rewards
- Single-ingredient options for sensitive stomachs
- No refrigeration needed once opened
Choosing the right protein
Liver and heart are nutrient-dense and extremely motivating — perfect as occasional high-value rewards. Chicken and turkey are lean everyday options. Fish adds natural omega-3 for skin and coat. Rotating proteins keeps things interesting and spreads the nutrient profile.
Portioning and storage
Because the water is gone, freeze-dried treats are calorie-dense: a pea-sized cube is enough for one training rep with a small or medium dog. Keep treats under 10% of daily calories.
Store in the resealable pouch, in a cool dry cupboard. If a piece feels soft or chewy, moisture has crept in — reseal more tightly next time.
