What is freeze-dried cat food?

Freeze-dried cat food is a type of cat food that is quickly frozen and placed in a vacuum chamber to remove moisture. It's generally made from raw ingredients, though some formulas are cooked prior to freeze-drying.

Is freeze-dried food good for cats?

Yes, freeze-dried food can be good for cats, as long as it's nutritionally complete and balanced according to your cat's individual needs. Keep in mind that many freeze-dried recipes are raw, so follow safe food handling practices to reduce the risk of transmitting food-borne pathogens.

How long can freeze-dried cat food be left out?

Freeze-dried cat food can be left out in the package for 12-24 months unopened or for up to 4 weeks once opened, ideally in a cool, dry place. Outside the package, with or without rehydration, freeze-dried food should be consumed or discarded within two hours.

How do you serve freeze-dried cat food?

Depending on the product, you can generally serve freeze-dried cat food as-is or mix it with water to rehydrate it first. Measure out your cat's portion while the product is dry before adding liquid, then let it soak until it reaches the consistency your cat prefers.

Do you need to add water to freeze-dried cat food?

You don't necessarily need to add water to freeze-dried cat food, but it helps improve the texture. Freeze-dried cat food is very low in moisture, so adding water also helps meet your cat's needs for hydration.

How do you store freeze-dried cat food?

Freeze-dried cat food is shelf-stable, so you can store it in the original packaging in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration isn't necessary unless the product has been rehydrated, in which case it should be consumed or discarded within 3-5 days.
