FAQs
What is freeze-drying?
Freeze-drying is a gentle dehydration process that removes water from fresh food through sublimation (when water transitions directly from a solid to a gas state). This process leaves the food's structure and nutritional content intact but without the moisture that can cause spoilage. It's a delicate balance of temperature and pressure, ensuring that the final product is both safe and delicious for your furry friend!
Why choose freeze-dried treats?
Compared to other pet treat drying methods like air drying, extruding, or baking, freeze-drying preserves the maximum amount of nutrients, flavors, and textures present in the raw ingredients.
The freeze-drying process also eliminates the need for any preservatives and artificial additives, making it a healthier alternative to traditional pet treats. Plus, their light weight and long shelf life makes them perfect for on-the-go snacks or long-term storage!
