One of the challenges when taking your dog companions with you on your hiking excursions is providing them with the same fresh, nourishing food you feed them at home where you have easy access to raw meats and fresh vegetables and fruits.

Dogs need a highly efficient food source to fuel increased activity, such as hiking.  Yet it is not the best option as it requires refrigeration, storage space, plus it can add significant weight to a backpack.  Dry or dehydrated fresh foods are available options, yet the choices are limited, expensive and there is still the storage space/weight issues.

Another option that is gaining popularity is freeze dried foods.  Freeze dried raw meat, produce and treats for dogs are an excellent choice for people who hike with their dogs while maintaining their feeding routine as if they were in the comfort of their home, with access to fresh meat and produce.

Freeze dried foods have many benefits, yet my #1 reason I love it so much is it solves the storage space and weight issues!  The process of freeze drying a particular food item reduces the weight by about 80-90%, making it perfect for excursions requiring efficient packing.  Freeze dried foods require no refrigeration and can be stored in any kind of airtight container.  Reusable BPA free, mylar resealable bags do the job nicely.

Freeze dried food maintains 98-100% of the food’s nutrition, calories and flavor (many times the flavor is enhanced), as only the water is removed.  The food becomes “concentrated”.  For example: three pounds of fresh, raw meat becomes one pound freeze dried.  More food can be carried with the same amount of nutrition and calories without having to refrigerate the food!

Does the freeze dried food require hydration?  This is purely a choice of preference.  Freeze dried food can be consumed “as-is” or with just a small amount of liquid, the food regains most of it’s original form.

With all the benefits of freeze dried food for your dog; fresh, portable, nutritious, why wait?  Give it a try to see how it can enhance your outdoor excursions, hiking favorite and new territories.
