Buying Guide

Check primary protein source

Choose a formula with a protein your dog tolerates—options here include beef, turkey, pork, lamb and mixed raw proteins—to support digestion and allergies

Decide between full meals and toppers

Freeze-dried dinner patties can serve as a full meal while meal mixers and toppers are designed to boost nutrition and palatability when added to kibble

Look for grain-free if needed

Several choices are grain-free, which can help dogs with grain sensitivities but isn’t required for all dogs—consult your vet for dietary restrictions

Consider protein percentage and caloric needs

High-protein formulations are common in freeze-dried options and suit active or working dogs; balance protein with your pet’s age, weight, and activity level

Evaluate serving format and storage

Freeze-dried patties and meal mixers require rehydration or crumbling into kibble; check package size and sealing to maintain freshness between uses
