Have you thought how nice it'd be to know your dogs get the healthiest treats—without fillers, heavy processing, or possible allergens? Freeze-drying isn't new (used for decades in human food), but in pet care its popularity is only recently getting the notice it deserves.

The Benefits of Freeze Drying

Freeze-dried treats have many perks: an extremely long shelf life and a great fit for pets on a raw diet. Ingredient quality and nutrients are second to none, they're easy to travel with, and best of all for our friends—they taste great!

Sounds great, right? But how does freeze-drying actually work?

How Freeze Drying Works

Here are the steps PureBites follows to give your pet the best treats and toppers.

PureBites uses only raw, frozen, human-grade proteins in their refrigerated kitchen, cut into treats and toppers. Then the still-frozen treats go into the freeze-drying chamber.

In the chamber, temperature drops further and pressure lowers around the raw proteins. Through sublimation, the ice in the frozen protein is gently drawn out as vapor. This leaves the protein in its frozen shape but much lighter and fully dry, since moisture was removed gently.

Once freeze-drying finishes (up to 24 hours), delicious morsels of pure RAW freeze-dried goodness come out and are packed for your pets. PureBites treats and toppers keep the aroma, texture, and locked-in freshness dogs crave. Pet parents can relax knowing nutrients are preserved from the original state. Now that's something to love!

Are freeze-drying and dehydrating the same?

No. Both remove water, but the process and final ingredient quality differ. Dehydration uses low heat over a long time to remove water. The techniques differ, but both yield yummy treats your pets will love.

There are many benefits to feeding your dog PureBites' simple, high-quality freeze-dried treats and toppers. A big plus: they're made with only 1 to 3 ingredients, ideal for dogs with health issues, allergies, or restricted diets. Visit purebites.com for the full lineup and a retailer near you.
