Freeze-Dried Dog Food: Raw Nutrition with Kibble Convenience

Welcome to Georgina’s Kitchen, your premier destination for high-quality freeze-dried dog food. We understand that as a pet parent, you want to provide the best for your companion – the nutritional excellence of a raw diet without the mess, freezer space, or prep time of traditional raw feeding. Our freeze-dried range is designed to deliver exactly that: peak performance nutrition in a shelf-stable, easy-to-serve format.

Freeze-dried dog food is often called the “gold standard” of pet nutrition. Through a process called sublimation, we remove moisture from raw, high-quality ingredients while they are frozen. This avoids the heat damage associated with kibble production and keeps enzymes, bioavailable proteins, and natural vitamins intact.

Why Freeze-Dried Is the Ultimate Choice

Unlike traditional dry food, which is cooked at high temperatures that can denature proteins, freeze-drying preserves the cellular structure of the food. The result is a meal that tastes, smells, and nourishes like fresh, raw meat.

Key Benefits of Our Freeze-Dried Meals

• Unrivalled nutrient density: Up to 98% of the food’s original nutritional value is retained.
• Maximum palatability: The intense, natural aroma of real meat is ideal for picky eaters and seniors.
• Shelf-stable convenience: No thawing or freezer space required – store it in your pantry like kibble.
• Superior digestion: Minimally processed ingredients improve absorption and reduce stool volume and odour.
• Versatile serving options: Use as a full meal, high-value topper, or individual training treats.
• Lightweight & travel-friendly: With water removed, bags are light and perfect for trips, hikes, and camping.

Tailored for Every Life Stage

From growing puppies to senior dogs, freeze-dried food offers species-appropriate nutrition. Our recipes prioritise single-source proteins and organic vegetables, avoiding fillers, starches, and artificial preservatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is it better to feed freeze-dried food dry or rehydrated?

Dogs may enjoy it dry, but rehydrating with warm water or bone broth is recommended. Because freeze-dried food is almost completely devoid of moisture, adding water supports hydration and kidney health while enhancing flavour.

2. Is freeze-dried dog food safe from bacteria like Salmonella?

Yes, when produced correctly. We use safety steps such as High-Pressure Pasteurisation (HPP) or strict hold-and-test protocols to neutralise harmful pathogens while preserving beneficial enzymes and nutrients.

3. Why is freeze-dried food more expensive than premium kibble?

It takes roughly 3–4 pounds of fresh raw meat to make 1 pound of freeze-dried food, so you’re paying for concentrated nutrition, not water or fillers. Because portions are smaller, the cost balances out over time.

4. Can I use freeze-dried food as a topper instead of a full meal?

Absolutely. Even using freeze-dried as about 25% of the bowl significantly boosts raw protein and live enzymes, improving overall nutrition without switching 100% away from kibble.

5. How does freeze-dried food help with allergies and itchy skin?

By avoiding common kibble fillers like corn, soy, and wheat and focusing on whole-food ingredients, many dogs experience fewer hot spots, paw licking, and ear infections after switching.

6. Does freeze-dried food lose nutrients over time in the bag?

With moisture removed, oxidation and spoilage slow dramatically. Stored in its original resealable bag in a cool, dry place, freeze-dried food maintains nutritional integrity far longer than opened kibble.
