Is Pupford freeze-dried food a complete meal or a topper?

It is formulated as a complete diet, so it can be fed as the whole meal. Many owners also use it as a topper or training treat because it crumbles easily.

Serve it dry straight from the bag, or add warm water and let it soak for a few minutes to soften. Follow the feeding guide on the bag for your dog's weight.

How should I switch my dog onto it?

Transition gradually over about a week, mixing increasing amounts with the old food. Freeze-dried beef is richer than most kibble, so a slow switch limits stomach upset.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

No. The bag is shelf-stable before and after opening. Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place and use it within the period printed on the packaging.

Is it suitable for puppies?

It is a complete food, but puppy feeding amounts differ from adult amounts. Check the bag's guidelines or ask your vet before making it a puppy's main diet.

How long does a 16-oz bag last?

That depends on your dog's weight and whether you feed it as a full meal or a topper. A small dog fed solely on it will get many more meals from a bag than a large dog.
