Frequently Asked Questions about Freeze-Dried Dog Treats

Are freeze-dried dog treats good for dogs?

Freeze-dried dog treats can be very good for dogs, as they are usually nutritious, tasty and low in calories. These shelf-stable and convenient snacks for dogs are made from raw food, usually meat, with the moisture removed through freeze-drying. The process helps retain more of the nutrients, flavor and texture, and freeze-dried treats can be gentle on the digestive system, too. Look for single or limited ingredient freeze-dried dog treats made with healthy real meat and no artificial additives or preservatives. You can also find healthy freeze-dried dog treats made with healthy veggies like pumpkin and sweet potato.

Do you need to rehydrate freeze-dried dog treats?

You do not usually need to rehydrate freeze-dried dog treats but check the individual product package to be sure.

How long do freeze-dried dog treats last after opening?

Freeze-dried dog treats can last for quite a while after opening. For optimal freshness, try to serve opened freeze-dried treats within 30-60 days. Many types may last even longer than that, so check the product package for guidance on freshness and proper storage. Unopened freeze-dried treats can last for a year or more.
