The Shelf Life of Raw Freeze-Dried Dog Food: A Convenient and Nutritious Option

Are you a dog owner looking for a high-quality, convenient, and nutritious food option? Raw freeze-dried dog food might be the perfect choice. Not only does it offer the benefits of a raw diet, but it also comes with an impressive shelf life.

Understanding Freeze-Drying

The freeze-drying process involves removing moisture from the food at a very low temperature. This preserves the nutrients, flavours, and textures of the original raw ingredients. By significantly reducing the moisture content, freeze-drying inhibits the growth of bacteria, extending the food's shelf life.

Shelf Life of Freeze-Dried Dog Food

Unopened: When stored properly, unopened raw freeze-dried dog food typically has a shelf life of 18-24 months.

Opened: Once opened, it's recommended to consume the food within 30-90 days. This is because exposure to air can introduce moisture and potentially lead to bacterial growth.

It's important to note the difference between "consumed shelf life" and "nutritional shelf life." While the food may remain safe to eat for a longer period, its nutritional value may decline over time. To ensure your dog receives optimal benefits, it's best to consume the food within the recommended timeframe.

Proper Storage for Maximum Shelf Life

To maintain the quality and freshness of your raw freeze-dried dog food, store its original packaging or in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I feed my dog?

The amount you should feed your dog depends on factors like age, weight, activity level, and breed. Generally, following the feeding guidelines on our food packaging and adjusting as needed based on your dog's individual needs is recommended.

To ensure your pet receives the optimal amount of nutrition, we recommend using our dog feeding calculator. Our calculator factors in your pet's age, breed, and activity level to provide a serving recommendation specific to our freeze-dried food.

Since our freeze-dried food offers a different nutrient profile than kibble or cooked food, using our calculator will provide the most accurate serving size for your pet's health and well-being.

What is a grain free diet, and is it recommended?

Grain-free pet food excludes ingredients like wheat, corn, and rice. Instead, it focuses on protein sources like meat, fish, and eggs. These diets often incorporate fruits and vegetables for additional nutrients.

For cats, who are obligate carnivores, meaning they derive most of their nutrients from animal protein. Grain-free diets can be a suitable option for cats, mimicking their natural prey and potentially promoting digestive health.

How does the quality of pet food affect their overall health?

Absolutely! Just like for humans, the quality of your pet's food significantly impacts their overall health and well-being. High-quality pet food provides essential nutrients in the right proportions for your pet to thrive.

A balanced nutrition offers a complete and balanced blend of protein, fats, bones or calcium, healthy carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

These nutrients are crucial for your pet's growth, development, and overall health.

While some pet foods may be more affordable, they might not provide the complete nutritional profile your pet needs. These foods may contain ingredients that are difficult to digest, potentially leading to occasional discomfort.
