Can this food be eaten dry?

The purpose of adding water to these freeze-dried products is not to activate the nutrients in the meat, but rather to reconstitute the product back to its original moisture content. Many customers choose to feed the freeze-dried products dry and feeding in this way offers the same nutritional quality and benefits as feeding with water added. The freeze-dried pellets do not absorb water like a sponge as they do not include fillers or preservatives of any kind. Whether you add water or not is completely up to the pet’s personal preference.

Feeding requirements are a guide only. Your individual dog's requirements will vary depending on your dog's age, activity level and breed. Pregnant or nursing mothers may require up to 3 times the Adult amounts.

Puppies from 1 - 6 months: feed up to 3 times the amount. Puppies from 6 - 12 months: feed up to 1 1/2 the Adult amounts.

For a complete meal, simply add warm water and serve. Use this feeding guide for water requirements. Or, sprinkle the dry food over any type of dog food as a tasty topper and great nutritional boost. If using as a complete meal and adding water, refrigerate leftovers and discard these if uneaten after 3 days. We recommend you always reconstitute K9 Freeze Dried with warm water (no warmer than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) before feeding. We also highly recommend you do not mix a raw diet with a cooked diet (kibble). Keep the bag sealed until ready to use. For optimum freshness after opening, store in a cool dry place. Be sure to seal the bag completely after feeding.

Transition Instructions

Always introduce any new diet over a period of 7-10 days, gradually feeding more K9 Natural and less of the previous food until the transition is complete.
