If you wouldn’t eat overly processed junk food every day, why should your pet? At Frontier Pets, we believe pets deserve real, whole food—not kibble packed with fillers, grains, and artificial additives. That’s why we make freeze-dried raw dog food, puppy food, and cat food using ethically sourced, free-range ingredients from Australian farms.
Our food is as close to fresh, raw nutrition as you can get, but with the convenience of dry food. Just add water, and you’ve got a nutrient-packed meal that’s as easy to serve as kibble—but a whole lot healthier.
So, if you’re looking for a pet food that’s better for your pet, better for the planet, and better for you, you’re in the right place.
Why Pet Owners Are Making the Switch to Frontier Pets
- A Healthier Alternative to Kibble & Canned Food – Traditional pet food is cooked at high temperatures, which destroys essential nutrients. Our freeze-dried raw food keeps all the good stuff intact—vitamins, minerals, and natural enzymes—so your pet gets a species-appropriate diet that supports their overall health.
- Ethically Sourced & Free-Range Ingredients – Every ingredient in our food is 100% Australian, free-range, and sustainably sourced. We work with ethical farmers to support regenerative farming and ensure that your pet’s food comes from the best possible sources.
- No Grains, No Fillers, No Artificial Additives – Unlike kibble, which often contains cheap fillers like corn, wheat, and soy, our food is made with real meat, organ meats, and fresh vegetables—nothing unnecessary, just pure, whole food nutrition.
- Supports Digestion, Joint Health & a Shiny Coat – Our recipes are naturally rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and essential nutrients to help keep your pet’s joints strong, digestion smooth, and coat glossy.
- Eco-Friendly & Sustainable – We believe in making pet food that’s better for the planet too. By choosing ethically sourced ingredients and supporting regenerative farming, we’re helping to create a more sustainable pet food industry.

Kibble is cooked at high temperatures, destroying essential nutrients, enzymes, and amino acids that pets need to thrive. Our freeze-drying process locks in all the natural goodness of raw food while making it easy to store and serve.
Preparing freeze-dried pet food is quick, easy, and mess-free—perfect for busy pet owners who want to feed their pets a nutrient-rich, raw diet without the hassle.
1️⃣ Measure the right amount – Use our feeding guide to portion out the appropriate amount of freeze-dried food based on your pet’s weight and needs.
2️⃣ Add warm water – Rehydrate by adding warm (not hot) water. A good starting point is a 1:1 ratio of food to water, but you can adjust based on your pet’s preference.
3️⃣ Stir and wait – Give it a quick stir and let it sit for a minute or two. The food will absorb the water and rehydrate, creating a fresh, moist meal that mimics a raw diet.
4️⃣ Serve and enjoy – Your pet’s meal is ready! Watch them enjoy the taste of real, whole food packed with essential nutrients.
You can also serve freeze-dried food dry as a crunchy meal or treat. However, rehydrating is recommended because it helps with digestion and hydration, making it easier for pets to eat—especially puppies, senior pets, and those with sensitive stomachs.
Yes! Freeze-dried raw food is one of the safest ways to feed a raw diet, thanks to the gentle freeze-drying process that removes moisture while preserving nutrients.
- Kills harmful bacteria – The freeze-drying process eliminates pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, ensuring the food is safe for pets.
- No artificial preservatives – Unlike kibble, which often contains artificial additives to extend shelf life, freeze-dried food naturally lasts longer without chemicals.
- Locks in essential nutrients – Unlike traditional cooking methods that destroy vitamins and enzymes, freeze-drying keeps nutrients intact, giving pets the full benefits of raw feeding.
- Safe for handling – Because moisture is removed, freeze-dried food doesn’t carry the same bacteria risks as fresh raw meat, making it easy and safe to store, handle, and serve.
If you’re looking for a convenient and safe way to feed raw, freeze-dried is the best of both worlds—all the benefits of raw feeding, but with the ease of dry food.
Because it’s freeze-dried, our pet food has a long shelf life of 2 years without artificial preservatives in it's original packaging. Once rehydrated, it’s best to serve immediately or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
💡 Pro tip: To keep your freeze-dried food fresh for as long as possible, store it in its original packaging or in an airtight container away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
