- Is this a complete meal or only a topper?
- It can be fed as a complete meal when rehydrated with water in the portions on the bag. Many owners also use it as a topper over kibble.
- Does it need refrigeration?
- No. Freeze-drying removes the moisture, so the bag keeps on a shelf. Once you add water, treat the food like fresh raw food and discard what the dog does not eat.
- Is it good for puppies?
- It is a raw-style food, so check with your vet on portions and suitability for puppies. Many owners start puppies on it slowly mixed with their current food.
- How does it compare with frozen raw food?
- It offers the same raw-style diet without freezer space, but you pay for the water removed and the bag holds less food than a frozen tub of similar weight.
- How do I switch my dog to it?
- Transition gradually over about a week, mixing increasing amounts with the old food. Raw food needs clean bowls and hands after each meal.
- Where is the Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Dog Raw Turkey Mini cheapest?
- At Chewy, for $16.99, as of our latest check.
