Is air dried dog food good for dogs

Air-dried dog food, also known as dehydrated dog food, is a type of dog food that undergoes a drying process to remove moisture while retaining the nutritional value of the ingredients.

It is considered a form of minimally processed dog food that is high in nutrition.

Air-dried dog food can offer several potential benefits:

  1. Nutritional retention: The gentle drying process used in air-dried dog food helps preserve the natural nutrients and enzymes present in the ingredients. This can be beneficial compared to high-heat processing methods used in traditional kibble production, which may result in nutrient degradation.

  2. Convenience: Air-dried dog food is lightweight, easy to store, and typically doesn't require refrigeration. It can be a convenient option for pet owners who want to feed a minimally processed diet without the need for raw food handling or preparation.

  3. Enhanced palatability: Many dogs find air-dried dog food to be highly palatable due to the concentrated flavours and textures. This can be helpful in encouraging dogs with picky appetites or those transitioning from other diets.

  4. Digestibility: The air-drying process breaks down some of the food's cellular structure, potentially making it easier for dogs to digest and absorb nutrients.

However, it's important to note that not all air-dried dog foods are created equal, and quality can vary among brands. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing an air-dried dog food:

  1. Quality of ingredients: Look for products made with high-quality, whole food ingredients, preferably sourced from reputable suppliers. Avoid foods with fillers, artificial additives, or excessive processing. The Healthy Active Pet air dried dog food is the highest quality air dried dog food made with only human grade and organic ingredients - and with no grain or fillers.

  2. Nutritional balance: Ensure the air-dried food provides a complete and balanced diet for your dog's life stage - for example below is the nutritional information for our air dried dog food.

  3. Safety and sourcing: Consider the manufacturer's reputation, quality control measures, and whether they follow proper food safety protocols. Understanding the sourcing and handling of the ingredients can also be important. This is crucial - only choose Australian produced food and brands using human grade ingredients.

  4. Cost: Air-dried dog food tends to be more expensive compared to traditional kibble. Consider your budget and evaluate the value based on the quality and benefits provided. And a great other option that can also be budget friendly is a raw dog food diet and you can learn more about this here.
