Dog Flakes dried dog food
Dog Flakes are an option for owners looking for something different from traditional kibble for their dog. The food comes as dried pieces of meat and vegetables, not shaped kibble. Each variant is built on a single source of animal protein, so you can choose the flavour that best suits your dog's needs.
You can choose from beef, rabbit, goat, duck, lamb and venison. All variants come in two pack sizes - 50 g and 700 g. The smaller one is ideal if you want to test a flavour first, and the larger one is a good choice for regular feeding.
You won't find any grains, sugar or artificial colourings in the ingredients. It's a simple recipe in which meat and the other ingredients come first.
How does dried dog food differ from kibble?
Dried dog food doesn't go through an extruder, and that's the main difference. In this form, the pieces keep the visible structure of meat and vegetables, so when you pour them into the bowl you can see what they're made of, instead of uniform brown balls.
The second difference is the length of the label. Kibble usually contains more items, because the recipe combines meat, vegetables, fruit and additives. Here the list is as short as possible, and the animal protein comes from a single species. For a dog with a short list of permitted ingredients, it's the simplest choice in the whole food category.
- Beef and lamb: classic proteins, the most widely accepted.
- Rabbit and goat: gentle meats, for sensitive dogs.
- Duck: poultry with a distinct aroma.
- Venison: a protein that's rare in an everyday diet.
- Two packs: 50 g as a trial and 700 g for everyday feeding.
Dried dog food: how to serve it
Dried dog food can be served in two ways, and both make sense. Dried dog food works as a portion on its own, but just as often goes on top of another food as a topper that boosts the aroma of the whole bowl.
The second use can be decisive for fussy dogs: a few pieces mixed with kibble can win over a dog who used to walk away from a full bowl. The pieces can also be moistened with a little warm water or topped with bone broth for dogs, which softens the structure and boosts the aroma. The 50 g pack is enough to check your dog's reaction before buying a larger one.
Freeze-dried dog food isn't the same thing
Freeze-dried dog food is sometimes confused with dried food, although it's made in a completely different way. Freeze-dried dog food loses water by freezing and evaporation under vacuum, while Dog Flakes are dried, so the pieces are denser and less crumbly.
It's worth knowing this before you buy, because search engines often use the two names interchangeably, yet they're two different products at two different prices. If you want a piece your dog has to chew for a moment and that stays in the bowl longer, the right choice is dried food. If, on the other hand, you want something that breaks apart in the mouth, you're looking for freeze-dried. In practice, both forms do a similar thing, removing water and concentrating the smell, but they differ in texture and price. If freeze-dried is exactly what you're after, i.e. pieces that break apart in the mouth, the right place is freeze-dried meat for dogs from the FREEZY Pure line. If, however, you want classic kibble in a bag that lasts longer, take a look at dry dog food, with recipes in 1.5 kg and 9 kg. The two forms can also be combined, giving the pieces as a topper on the kibble.
