Natures Menu has launched its new freeze dried range, proudly proclaiming it to be ‘raw made convenient’ — and as a long-standing champion of the benefits of raw feeding, they should know.
Benefits of raw feeding dogs
Raw feeding continues to be a growing movement among dog owners who report numerous benefits to their dogs’ health. With a belief that raw is better for dogs, as it is more alike to how their ancestors would have eaten, more raw pet foods brands are emerging. Natures Menu has long been established though and continues to be a pioneer with the development of their freeze dried range.
Reported benefits of raw Feeding from Natures Menu:
- Digestive wellbeing
- Shiny coat and healthy skin
- More manageable poos
The move is designed to offer the benefits of raw feeding with the convenience of kibble. Using the closest technology to raw feeding, freeze-drying removes the water content from the raw ingredients, preserving it and retaining the goodness and flavours. All owners have to do is pour the nuggets into their pet’s bowl. There is no need to wait for it to thaw, making Natures Menu’s freeze dried range ideal for when owners are ‘on the go’ or if they want a stepping stone to trying raw.
Freeze-dried dog food
Available in four flavours (beef, chicken, turkey, and lamb) and two pack sizes (120g and 250g), the Freeze Dried nuggets are a complete and balanced 80:20 meal option — 80% meat and offals with 20% fruits, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals. All flavours offer natural, high-quality ingredients and maximum convenience with no compromise on taste or quality.
The range is designed to be interchangeable with the Natures Menu 80:20 complete and balanced raw range. The ‘raw with no thaw’ format means it’s the best alternative to raw when owners don’t have access to a freezer and can be just poured according to the feeding guidelines.
Melanie Sainsbury, Veterinary Expert at Natures Menu, said: “Raw feeding offers a wealth of benefits, however we do understand that it requires pre-planning and can be challenging if owners don’t have access to a freezer, such as when they’re on holiday.
“The new Freeze Dried range is born from 40 years of research, nutritional experience, and knowledge crammed into one bitesize nugget. The range offers pet owners the best of both worlds — natural high-quality ingredients, maximum nutrients preservation, and digestive wellbeing in the most convenient format available.”
Based in Norfolk, Natures Menu specialises in raw and natural dog food made with quality meats, blended vegetables, fruits and healthy carbohydrates.
