Freeze-Dried Feeding Guide
Freeze-Dried food delivers complete and balanced nutrition in its most concentrated form. It can be fed on its own as a complete and balanced meal*, or added to your dog’s existing food to boost nutrition and flavor. This guide will help you understand how much Freeze-Dried food to feed, how to serve correctly, and how to confidently transition your dog, whether fed on its own or as part of a mixed feeding approach.
K9 Natural Freeze-Dried Feasts can be served dry, or rehydrated by adding warm water.
For rehydration, we recommend mixing a ratio of 1 cup of food to ¼ cup of water. Warm water should feel comfortable when tested on the back of your hand.
Sprinkle K9 Natural Freeze-Dried over your dog’s usual meal to increase nutrient content and enhance taste.
Topping is a simple way to introduce freeze-dried nutrition to see how it works for you and your dog.
Every dog is different. Body condition, not the bowl, is the best guide for what is right for your pet. We recommend regularly monitoring your dog’s weight and condition, and adjusting feeding amounts if you notice any significant change over time.
*Large breed puppies expected to exceed 70lb+ (32kg+) as an adult should wait until fully grown before transitioning to our Freeze-Dried diets.
