Pros of Freeze Dried Pet Treats

There are countless pet treat products available for nearly every type of product imaginable. But just like treats for humans, not all of these products are equal. One type of pet treat that is available is the freeze-dried pet treat, which is made by removing all of the moisture from a piece of meat or a vegetable.

Freeze-dried pet treats have a lot of pros for pet owners and their beloved pets.

  1. Quality

    • Freeze-dried pet treats have only one ingredient, which can make them appealing to pet owners. According to Born Free USA, most pet foods and pet treats are made from organ meats and byproducts that are generally considered slaughterhouse waste that is not fit for humans, which some pet owners do not want to feed to their pets. Many freeze-dried pet treats are also marketed as natural items and are human grade with very high-quality ingredients.

    Cost

    • There is an increasing amount of pet owners choosing to feed their pets a raw diet, or rather meats and vegetables that can be purchased at the grocery store and fed at home. This is to feed their pets high-quality ingredients with limited preservatives or low-quality foods, but it can become expensive. Raw meat is not a convenient treat to carry around, and it can be expensive. Freeze-dried pet treats offer a convenient, natural and low-cost treat to these pet owners.

    Nutrients

    • Freeze-dried pet treats are usually meat or vegetables and do not have any fillers or byproducts, which means they have a higher nutrient content. The freeze-drying process also preserves these nutrients better than other forms of preserving pet treats, such as baking. The freeze drying process also eliminates the need for chemical preservatives.

    Allergies

    • Freeze dried pet treats have limited ingredients. This means that what you see is what you get. Freeze dried pet treats could be made of freeze dried chunks of beef or whole fish, and those are the only ingredients. It is easier for pet owners whose pets have allergies to find treats they can give their pets without worrying about hidden allergens or life-threatening allergic reactions. Many pets, such as dogs, have an intolerance to grains and it is difficult to find treats with no grains added, but freeze-dried pet treats do not contain grains.
