Your consumers love their pets so much, and business owners like you know it! Naturally, this makes their pet's food habits one of your most important concerns. Providing a simple yet significantly healthy change to their beloved pet's diet can make a difference in your standing with competitors all around you.  Shepherd Foods has been helping businesses all across the country serve quality freeze dried food products for over a decade! We can guide you toward success in the pet food industry by selling freeze-dried meal toppers for your consumers' furry friends.  These convenient meat ingredient toppers give a boost of healthful nutrients to any pet's diet. They are crafted only with premium meats & high quality veggies. The five protein options for freeze dried meal toppers are beef, chicken, fish, pork, and turkey. Pets love them! These foods are very comparable to the kinds of meat snacks you would buy for yourself to enjoy. The freeze drying process is simple, and it really couldn't be any healthier for animals, unless it was raw! All of the moisture has been drawn out through a series of steps, including freezing temperatures and a sublimation procedure (when ice converts directly into steam, bypassing a melting stage.) The result is effective and creates a bone-dry, shelf-stable product that can last for up to 25 years!  Continue reading to learn more about freeze dried pet foods for how to better your business:

Types Of Freeze-Dried Pet Foods

The compositions of freeze dried pet food are as varied as those of other pet diets, ranging from high-protein to high-fat and moderate-protein to variants that resemble regular kibble and contain carbohydrates like potatoes and lentils. Most often, the proteins and, in certain circumstances, starches in any of these freeze dried types are still uncooked.

How Is The Food Made?

The process of freeze drying involves foundational principles that have been around since the Incas began freeze drying their potatoes in about 1200 A.D.! Fresh food is first frozen solid in its current form. It then enters a vacuum chamber where almost all of the solid water evaporates. Any remaining water molecules are further evaporated away during a second drying step. By the time processing is done, the food has lost around 97% of its moisture while retaining its high nutritional value.

The Benefits Of Freeze-Dried Pet Foods

One of the greatest ways to transform a pet's dinner into a delectable gourmet feast is using freeze dried meal toppers! 

It adds high-quality protein to the pet's food.

Because freeze dried raw pet food toppers don't contain "bulk" fillers, a serving of this food has more protein than a serving of conventional kibble. Additionally, toppings offer a greater nutritional profile for a lower cost since they pack a huge quantity of nutrition into tiny amounts of food.

It helps to increase hydration.

Using freeze dried meal toppers as a gravy gives your consumers' pets all the health advantages of adding moisture to your pet's food. All it takes for the food to be prepared is to add hot water for an instantly reconstituted meat product. Adding a little more water than needed can create a gravy-like substance for them to enjoy. Even while many pets have constant access to clean water, it might not be known to your consumer that they don't always drink enough of it throughout the day. Additionally, very young or elderly pets with renal illness or those who have brachycephaly (flat-faced creatures like Pugs or Persians) are particularly susceptible to dehydration.

It coaxes a reluctant pet to enjoy its meal.

Freeze dried meal toppers are a great method to get a picky pet to eat. A pet may require encouragement to eat the first few bites of their meal for various reasons. The pet in question can be on a particular medication diet that they don't enjoy or simply be generally fussy eaters. A veterinarian could even advise that their best friend put on a few pounds by eating larger meals than normal if they are on the slim side.
