Can I serve Smallbatch freeze-dried food without rehydrating?Updated a month ago

Serving freeze-dried food dry isn't unsafe, but we strongly recommend rehydrating it when using as a complete meal. Proper rehydration supports digestion, nutrient absorption, and kidney function — all important for long-term health on a freeze-dried diet.

If your pet resists rehydrated food at first, start with just a small splash of water and gradually increase over time. Using something extra palatable like bone broth or goat's milk to rehydrate is a great way to get picky eaters on board.
