Natures Menu Freeze Dried Complete & Balanced Nuggets – Beef, 625g

Natures Menu Freeze Dried Complete & Balanced Nuggets – Beef, 625g

Complete and balanced nuggets built on beef and then freeze-dried, so the food keeps the character of a raw diet without needing a freezer to hold it.

Freeze drying removes the water at low temperature rather than cooking it out with heat. What is left is a light, dry nugget that is shelf stable at room temperature: it lives in a cupboard, not a freezer, and there is nothing to defrost before a meal. Add water and the nuggets take the moisture back up; leave them dry and they can be fed as they are.

Performance & Benefits

• A complete and balanced food, so it can be fed as the whole diet rather than as a topper.
• Beef is the named meat.
• Freeze-dried and shelf stable — stored at ambient temperature, with no freezer space needed and nothing to defrost.
• Can be fed dry, or rehydrated with water to a softer, moister meal.
• Very light for the amount of food it represents, since the water has been taken out.
• Practical for travelling, holidays and kennels, where a frozen raw diet is impossible to manage.

Suitable For

• Dogs whose owners want the character of a raw diet without freezer storage.
• Households with no spare freezer space.
• Travelling, holidays, camping and kennels, where no cold chain is available.
• Dogs moving off a frozen raw diet onto something easier to store and serve.
• Dogs that prefer a softer meal, once the nuggets are rehydrated.

How to Use

• Feed dry as they come, or add water and let the nuggets take it up before serving.
• Work out the daily amount from your dog's weight, age and activity using the feeding guide on the pack — the dry weight fed is much smaller than an equivalent wet or frozen ration.
• Keep fresh drinking water available at all times, and especially when feeding the nuggets dry.
• Reseal the pack after each use to keep the nuggets dry and crisp.
• Introduce over several days, mixing an increasing proportion in with the current food.

Specification

• 625g pack of freeze-dried nuggets.
• Complete and balanced pet food for dogs — not a treat or a topper.
• Named meat: beef.
• Ambient storage — shelf stable, and neither refrigeration nor freezing is required.
• Manufacturer product code 1012589

Care & Caution

• Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the pack; moisture in the pack is what spoils freeze-dried food.
• Do not freeze — this is a shelf-stable dry product and freezing it serves no purpose.
• Once rehydrated, treat it as fresh food: refrigerate any leftover and use it within 24 hours.
• Introduce gradually, particularly for a dog coming from a cooked or dry diet.
• Always have drinking water available, as a dry-fed dog takes in less moisture from its food.
• Not intended for human consumption.
