how are minimally processed diets made?
Freeze-Dried
Freeze-dried dog foods use a preservation method that removes moisture without heating, maintaining the raw ingredients’ structure, flavor, and nutrients. This gentle process rapidly freezes real meat and vegetables into a shelf-stable form that’s easy to scoop and serve. The unique preparation method locks in the nutritional ingredients and makes it easy to give your dog a diet as close to fresh as possible without the hassle. Depending on the brand, some freeze-dried dog food is ready to serve, while others may need to be rehydrated.
DEHYDRATED
Dehydrated dog foods are prepared by cooking ingredients at low temperatures to remove water content while keeping most of the nutrients intact. Dehydrated dog food must be rehydrated, but the process is easy. Just stir in water or bone broth, wait for it to rehydrate, and serve to give your dog a wholesome, balanced meal that’s both convenient and nutritious.
AIR DRIED
Air-dried dog food is prepared through a drying process that slowly removes moisture through evaporation, using minimal heat and continuous air circulation. This method creates a unique, jerky-style texture that dogs love. Like other minimally processed methods, air-dried dog food maintains the nutrients and flavors of raw ingredients and is shelf-stable, creating a ready-to-serve meal free from preservatives or fillers.
COMBINATION
Some brands combine techniques like air drying, freeze drying, and dehydrating to deliver meals with high nutrient retention, diverse consistency, and flavor variety. Minimally processed combination dog food often includes a dehydrated base of vegetables and fruits, with a freeze-dried raw protein. The result is a shelf-stable, delicious, and nutrient-rich dog food that offers pets a droolworthy mixture of texture and taste.
