FAQs
How does freeze drying work?
Freeze drying uses a process called lyophilization. The food is frozen and a high-pressure vacuum is used to gradually extract most of the water out of the product. The water vapour collects on a condenser in the form of ice. The temperature gradually rises and removes the remaining moisture from the product. This process keeps the solid structure and the nutrients of the food by only removing the water.Â
What kind of food can you freeze dry?
You can freeze dry almost any food that contains even a little water. For example fresh herbs and spices, fruits and veggies, candy and even ready to eat meals.
Does freeze drying maintain the nutrition of food?
Yes, freeze drying only removes the water and retains all the nutrients including vitamins and minerals, proteins, carbs and all the calories!
What is the shelf life of freeze dried products?
Freeze-dried food will last up to 25 years. For long term storage, keep in a dark and cool environment.
Does freeze dried food taste good?
Yes, freeze drying enhances the natural flavours and sugars of the food. It also changes the texture making it more crunchy and airy. Sticky candies like toffee, skittles and caramels become light, crunchy and don't stick to your teeth.
Will my freeze dried food go bad?
As long as you re-seal your bag properly to prevent air and moisture from getting into the bag, your product will stay preserved.Â
What Freeze dried items are sold in stores?
Instant coffee is the most popular freeze dried item. Berries and marshmallows in some granolas and cereals are freeze dried. Raw meat treats for dogs and cats are freeze dried. Herbs are also becoming more popular because they retain their colour and flavour.
What are freeze-dried candies?
Freeze-dried candies start as your favourite sweets, like skittles, gummies, or taffy, and go through a special process that removes moisture while keeping all the flavour. The result? Light, airy, crunchy treats that melt in your mouth and taste even more intense than the original!
Are your freeze-dried fruits 100% natural?
Yes! Our fruits are simply fresh produce. Nothing added, nothing fake. We freeze-dry them at peak ripeness to lock in their nutrients, colour, and natural sweetness.
Do they make convenient snacks?
Yes. Freeze dried snacks are great anytime you need a quick and tasty treat. They pack light for camping and hiking trips. No mess snacks for car trips, day cares, and school lunches.Â
Can I share all your snacks with my dog or cat?
As much as we love sharing, some treats are for humans only. Some candies contain ingredients (like sugar, chocolate, or xylitol) that arenât safe for pets. Keep them on the human side of the counter and grab our Pet Treats line for your furry friends instead.
Are your products safe for all dogs?
Our treats are made with simple, natural ingredients, suitable for most dogs. If your pet has allergies or special dietary needs, we always recommend checking the ingredient list or consulting your vet before introducing new treats.
How many treats should I give my dog per day?
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dogâs daily diet. The exact number depends on your petâs size, age, and activity level. Always adjust portions based on their regular meals and overall health.
How do I feed freeze-dried treats?
You can serve them as-is, straight from the bag, or rehydrate them with a little warm water if your pet prefers softer textures. Either way, theyâre packed with flavour and nutrition your pet will love.
Can I use these treats for training?
Absolutely! Freeze-dried treats are lightweight, non-greasy, and can easily be broken into smaller pieces. Perfect for training, rewards, or sprinkling on meals for extra excitement.
Are freeze-dried treats safe for puppies?
Yes, our treats are made from single, natural ingredients, so theyâre safe for most puppies. Just start with small portions and always supervise feeding. For very young pups or those with special dietary needs, check with your vet first.
Do your treats contain preservatives or fillers?
Nope! Our treats are 100% natural â no preservatives, artificial colours, or fillers. Just real, wholesome ingredients you can trust.
My dog is picky, will they like these?
Most dogs go wild for the rich, meaty flavour of freeze-dried treats! Theyâre made from real, farm-sourced meat with all the aroma and taste pets crave.
Can I add freeze-dried treats to my petâs meals?
Yes! Crumble a few pieces over your dogâs regular food to boost flavour and nutrition. Itâs a simple way to make mealtime more exciting and wholesome.
Are your treats suitable for cats, too?
Many of our single-ingredient meat treats are also cat-friendly! Just be sure to check portion sizes and ingredients before sharing with your feline friend.
How big are the treat pieces?
Each piece varies slightly depending on the cut of meat, but most are bite-sized and easy to chew. You can also break larger pieces into smaller bits for training or smaller dogs.
Can I mix freeze-dried treats with wet or dry food?
Yes! Theyâre a great topper for both. Crumble a few pieces over kibble or mix them into wet food to make mealtime more exciting, even picky eaters love it!
Whatâs the difference between freeze-dried and dehydrated treats?
Freeze-drying removes moisture at very low temperatures, which helps retain more nutrients, flavour, and texture than traditional dehydration. Thatâs why freeze-dried treats often look and taste closer to raw meat, but theyâre shelf-stable and safe.
Why are freeze-dried treats more expensive than regular ones?
Freeze-drying is a slower, more specialized process that preserves nutrients and flavour without additives. We also uses real, high-quality meat, no by-products or fillers. So youâre paying for purity and quality your pet can taste.
Can dogs or cats with sensitive stomachs eat freeze-dried treats?
Our treats are made with single, natural ingredients, making them gentle on digestion and ideal for dogs or cats with sensitivities. But as always, introduce new foods slowly and consult your vet if youâre unsure.
