Raw and Freeze-Dried Pet Food

As pet parents, we want the best for our furry companions—whether it's the longest walks, the coziest beds, or the healthiest food. One of the biggest shifts in pet nutrition over the past decade is the growing popularity of raw and freeze-dried diets for both dogs and cats. But what are they, and are they right for your pet?

At Hemp Well, we’re passionate about promoting health and wellness in pets—naturally. Here’s a breakdown of why more pet lovers are making the switch, and how you can support your pet’s overall health with the right nutritional supplements alongside these modern feeding styles.

What Is Raw and Freeze-Dried Pet Food?

Raw pet food typically consists of uncooked meats, organs, bones, and sometimes vegetables and fruits. The idea is to mimic what dogs and cats would eat in the wild—whole prey, full of natural nutrients.

Freeze-dried pet food starts with raw ingredients that are frozen and then dried using a special process that removes moisture while preserving nutrients. It’s shelf-stable, lightweight, and easy to prepare—just add water!

Benefits of Raw and Freeze-Dried Diets

1. Improved Digestion

Raw and freeze-dried diets are often easier for pets to digest. Many owners notice smaller, firmer stools and reduced flatulence.

2. Healthier Skin and Coat

These diets are rich in healthy fats, amino acids, and enzymes that promote shinier coats and reduce skin irritation.

Pair it with:
👉 Hemp Well Skin & Coat Soft for Dogs
Packed with hemp and essential fatty acids to amplify coat health.

👉 Hemp Well Thrive for Dogs Cats
A great addition to any raw or freeze-dried diet, supporting skin, coat, and immune health.

3. Better Weight Management

High-protein, low-carb raw diets can help pets maintain healthy weight and muscle mass. No fillers or hidden sugars.

4. Dental Health Benefits

Crunchy freeze-dried pieces help scrape away plaque naturally, while raw meaty bones can aid in keeping teeth clean.

Tips for Transitioning to Raw or Freeze-Dried

• Start slow: Mix with their current food and gradually increase over 7–10 days.
• Hydrate: Especially with freeze-dried foods—rehydration is key!
• Supplement smart: Add natural support with Hemp Well's line of oils and chews for balanced wellness.
