The entire freeze-drying process takes place in a low-temperature vacuum environment below -30 ℃. The moisture in the food directly sublimates, and heat-sensitive nutrients such as proteins, amino acids, and vitamins will not be damaged by high temperatures. The nutritional structure of the finished product is close to that of fresh raw materials, which is far superior to dried or air-dried pet food.
Low-temperature processing can fully preserve the natural aroma and flavor of ingredients, without the burnt or off-flavors brought by high-temperature processing. The texture is crispy, and it is highly accepted by both cats and dogs, especially picky eaters. It is often used to guide eating or as a training reward.
The moisture content of the finished product is usually less than 10%, which makes it less likely to breed bacteria and mold. A long shelf life can be achieved without adding a large amount of preservatives. When unopened, it can be stored at room temperature in a sealed container. Even after opening, if it is sealed promptly, it is less likely to get damp and deteriorate. Its portability far exceeds that of wet grains.
It can be fed dry directly or rehydrated with warm water before consumption. The freeze-dried meat after rehydration is soft and close to fresh meat. It not only enhances the feeding experience of pets but also helps pets that don't like to drink water to replenish moisture. It is also more friendly to young pets, elderly pets or pets with sensitive stomachs.
