As a cat owner, you want to provide your cat with the best nutrition and care. One way to do this is by offering high-quality treats that taste great and support your cat's overall health and well-being. One treat that can provide all of this is a freeze-dried cat treat. It’s a delicious and nutritious option that will appeal to every cat.

How Long Do Freeze-Dried Treats Last?
Once you open the packet freeze-dried treats can last 30–60 days if you store them in a cool, dry, dark place in their original packaging or an airtight container. Our treats retain 100% of their nutrients and keep out all moisture and germs which makes them perfect to store for long periods.
What Are Freeze-Dried Cat Treats?
As a preservation technique, freeze drying uses freezing and vacuum-sealing to remove moisture from raw, fresh products. By preserving the nutrients, flavour, and scent of the original ingredients, this procedure creates a shelf-stable product that maintains the health benefits of raw food without the need for refrigeration. Freeze-dried cat treats are typically made from high-quality, single-ingredient sources like salmon, or chicken.
Can You Rehydrate Freeze-Dried Cat Treats?
You can rehydrate freeze-dried cat treats with water or broth for a nutritional boost to make a moist snack or meal. However, it’s important to note that you shouldn’t add liquids that contain salt, unknown herbs, or any type of chemicals. You should also rehydrate the cat treats if you’re feeding it as a meal. It’s also worth noting that rehydrated freeze-dried cat treats can spoil faster, so it's best to let your cat finish it quickly.
What Are The Benefits of Freeze-Dried Cat Treats?
Freeze-dried cat treats provide loads of benefits. From high protein to the support it provides your cat’s digestive health system. Here’s a list of benefits freeze-dried treats offer:
High In Protein
The most significant benefit of freeze-dried cat treats is their high protein content. Cats are carnivores, meaning their bodies are designed to digest animal-based proteins for optimal health. Freeze-dried treats made from quality meat sources provide a concentrated dose of protein that supports your cat's muscle development, energy levels, and overall vitality. Fuzzball’s freeze-dried cat treats are 75% crude protein, providing your cat with all the energy they need.
Low In Carbohydrates
Freeze-dried treats have a low carbohydrate content. Take our chicken freeze-dried treats as an example. They are 100% chicken with zero carbohydrate content. However, freeze-dried treats are typically made from single-ingredient meat sources without added carbohydrates.
This is important because cats cannot digest carbohydrates. Excessive carb intake can lead to issues like obesity, diabetes, and digestive problems in cats.
Highly Palatable and Appealing
Cats are picky eaters so it can be challenging to find treats that meet their nutritional needs and they find appealing. Fortunately, cat freeze-dried treats have a reputation for being highly appealing to even the fussiest of cats.
The process these treats go through concentrates the natural flavours and aromas of the raw ingredients, creating a treat that smells and tastes irresistible to cats.
Convenient and Shelf-Stable
Another advantage of freeze-dried cat treats is their convenience and shelf-stability. Unlike raw or fresh treats that require refrigeration and have a short shelf life, these cat treats can be stored at room temperature for long periods without spoiling.
They are therefore a practical choice for time-pressed pet owners who wish to keep nutritious treats on hand without having to deal with the inconvenience of buying cat treats regularly.
Suitable for Cats with Allergies or Sensitivities
Finding treats can be challenging if your cat has food sensitivities or allergies. Other treats can contain common allergens like grains, dairy, or artificial additives that your cat might be allergic to or sensitive to.
Freeze-dried cat treats, on the other hand, are made from single-ingredient meat sources without added flavours, colourants, or irritants. This makes them a safer and more digestible option for cats with allergies or intolerances.
Aids In Dental Health
While freeze-dried treats should not replace regular dental care like brushing and professional cleanings may provide some advantages for the dental health of your furry friends. Similar to how dental treats work, your cat can use the gritty texture of freeze-dried treats to scrape away plaque and tartar accumulation while they chew.
Additionally, many freeze-dried treats are made from raw meaty bones or organ meats that naturally contain enzymes and abrasive surfaces that promote dental hygiene.
Supports Digestive Health
Freeze-dried cat treats can also support your cat's digestive health in several ways. First, because they're often made from single-ingredient meat sources, they're easier for cats to digest than treats with complex fillers or additives.
Second, the natural enzymes and probiotics found in raw meat are preserved through the freeze-drying process, which helps facilitate digestion and support a balanced gut flora. To further enhance gastrointestinal health, some freeze-dried treats even include extra probiotics or digestive enzymes.
