Pet Food

There is a trend to offer more natural ingredients in pet food as studies are showing it's healthier for pets to eat a diet consistent with what they would naturally eat.  Freeze drying therefore is a viable option having more bioavailability of the natural nutrients they need. Meaning they need to eat less to have the same caloric intake making them healthier.  Ingredient transparency is also a benefit when freeze drying. Processed foods must make up for the lack of nutrients they offer, based on how the food was created.  “Propriety” blends which really are there to make up for the loss of vitamins and the degradation of proteins during the use of heat to process pet food, which degrades the quality and nutrient richness. These natural ingredients are  available in raw natural freeze-dried foods.   Freeze dried foods have less fillers or additives which some pet food lines use and can be harmful.  The benefits retained by keeping key enzymes stable help aid in digestion and gut health for our furry friends.  Freeze drying pet food, just like human consumables, retains valuable nutrients and vitamins lost in some applications where high heat is used to create some animal foods. Which can create  byproducts that can be harmful to them. Studies have even shown many additives and fillers create health, joint, and weight issues , and can  shorten life spans!  A recent study was done showing that if you introduced at least 25% raw product may reduce the risk of cancer by 90% in your pet! Many food manufactures are seeing the benefit and hearing the requests from consumers to produce more natural foods. The freeze drying process greatly reduces the weight of the product and doesn’t require refrigeration, thereby reducing shipping costs and depending on the packaging, the shelf life can be extended up to 25 years!   Don’t you want the best for your pet, your pet food line and your clients?
