Dogflakes dried food on the road and every day - lightness, energy and ingredients straight from nature

Hikes lasting several days, long walks and weekend getaways are the essence of life with a dog. Every trip, though, comes with logistics, especially when you want to keep your dog’s usual diet without lugging tins around or worrying about a fridge. Air-dried food can be the answer, combining convenience with high-quality ingredients.

We explain how drying differs from other production methods, what Dogflakes contains and how to use it on the road and every day.

Drying instead of extrusion - what difference it makes

Many foods go through intensive heat treatment, which can reduce the content of natural vitamins and aromas. To meet complete food standards, manufacturers add mineral and vitamin premixes. This is normal and in line with nutritional standards, but some owners look for foods that retain more of their natural nutritional value.

Dogflakes is made by drying with warm air, so the raw materials:

• retain more of their natural aroma and some of their vitamins,
• are less processed than extruded kibble,
• are highly digestible, as is typical of ultra-premium foods.

Like any complete food, Dogflakes also contains a vitamin and mineral complex to meet FEDIAF standards.

Functional ingredients in Dogflakes

Dogflakes is not just meat. Its simple composition is based on meat, vegetables and fruit, complemented by extras that support a dog’s body:

• dried fruit - a source of fibre and natural phytonutrients,
• cranberry - supports urinary tract health,
• herbs, seaweed, vegetables - provide trace elements and antioxidants that support natural immunity and skin condition.

Owners often notice a better coat after switching to Dogflakes. This is helped by omega fatty acids, well-absorbed protein and natural trace elements that support skin condition and the look of the coat.

A light food for trips and hikes

Thanks to gentle drying, Dogflakes retains the high nutritional value of the meat, which in practice means:

• smaller meal volumes than with wet foods,
• higher energy density,
• easy packing without weighing down your rucksack.

Whether you are planning a night under the stars, a campsite or a hotel, a light, dry complete food is simply more convenient and more stable to store.

Fuel for an active dog

During trekking, training or intensive play, a dog burns far more calories than usual. An active adult dog needs:

• high-quality protein for muscle recovery,
• healthy fats as the main source of energy,
• good digestibility so as not to burden the body.

Thanks to its high share of dried meat, Dogflakes provides concentrated energy that supports muscle recovery after an eventful day.

Instead of BARF while you are away

Owners who feed their dogs BARF ask themselves when travelling:

• How do I store raw meat on a trip lasting more than 2 days?
• Will the hotel have a fridge or freezer?
• How do I store food and supplements in hot weather?
• How do I keep up hygiene and regular feeding times away from home?

Dogflakes is a practical solution here because:

• it is minimally processed,
• it is based on high-quality ingredients,
• it is microbiologically stable because the water has been removed,
• it needs no refrigeration.

So you can treat it as a convenient substitute for a raw diet while you are away, with no risk of spoiling and with high nutritional value. A change of surroundings can be stressful for the digestive system, and a simple composition is easy on the stomach and reduces the risk of fussiness at the bowl.

Hydration on the trail - a simple trick with Dogflakes

Exertion, excitement and new surroundings can mean your dog drinks less than it should. To support its hydration:

1. pour lukewarm water over a portion of Dogflakes,
2. wait a moment for the food to soak up the moisture,
3. serve it as an aromatic, semi-moist meal.

This way your dog eats and takes in fluids at the same time, which comes in handy especially in hot weather and before the next climb.

Are supplements needed with Dogflakes?

If your dog gets a complete food in an amount matched to its age and needs, extra supplementation is usually not necessary, unless its state of health calls for it.

Mountains, forest, a lake, a visit to family or agility training: the compact form with high nutrient density, storage stability and simple composition make Dogflakes a great food for shared adventures.
