Freeze-dried food and raw dog food both offer the benefits of a natural, unprocessed diet, but there are key differences in how they are prepared and stored:
Raw Dog Food: This is minimally processed and usually requires refrigeration or freezing to maintain freshness. It can sometimes be a challenge to handle, store, and serve, and it may carry risks such as bacterial contamination if not stored and handled properly.
Freeze-Dried Dog Food: Freeze-drying is a preservation process that removes moisture from the raw ingredients while maintaining their nutritional value. It’s shelf-stable, doesn’t require refrigeration, and is safer to handle.
Freeze-dried food is a great option for dogs who need high-quality, nutritious meals that are easy to store and serve. The freeze-drying process preserves the natural flavors, vitamins, and nutrients found in the ingredients, while ensuring they stay safe and shelf-stable. Our food is dehydrated, lightweight, easy to transport, and has a long shelf life without the need for preservatives. Freeze-dried food also retains the natural taste and texture of raw ingredients, which can be more appealing to picky eaters.
Our freeze-dried recipes offer an excellent way to offer your dog the benefits of raw feeding without the mess and hassle, providing a more practical, long-lasting option for busy pet owners.

At Best Friend Bioscience, food safety is our top priority.
Our recipes are carefully crafted to meet the standards set by AAFCO’s Dog Food Nutrient Profiles.
We use High-Pressure Processing (HPP), a food pasteurization method that effectively eliminates harmful bacteria like E. coli, listeria, and salmonella, while preserving the raw integrity of the food.
To further protect the beneficial ingredients, we encapsulate the prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, ensuring they remain intact through the HPP process.
Our facilities are FDA registered, providing assurance that our dog food is produced in a safe, compliant environment.
