RAW diets use uncooked slightly cooked meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables to mimic the natural foods eaten by the domesticated dog’s wild ancestors. While opposition still exists, the benefits of a RAW diet are numerous.
Chewing raw, meaty bones results in clean, white teeth with virtually no “dog breath.” Many commercially-fed dogs experience painful periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and abscesses - even with regular brushing and flossing. Skin disorders heal, and dogs develop thick, healthy coats. Owners of RAW-fed dogs report improved temperments with an increased ability to focus on training.

All of the Nature's Variety freeze dried varieties get excitement from my dogs. You'd think I was giving them raw meat! Feed them dry or add water for even more taste variety.
Freeze Dried Chicken Complete - Freeze Dried "Chicken Complete" is made from our Fresh Frozen "Chicken Complete" stix. Great for traveling with raw meat without having to refridgerate it. We recommend that you reconstitute it when feeding as dinner or primary diet. Simply break up in a bowl, add water; and allow a few minutes to reconstitute, then serve. Once reconstituted, it's the same as the fresh raw meat and should be served at once, allowing 20 to 30 minutes to be eaten. Any uneaten portion should be refrigerated or discarded. Dogs love the Freeze Dried so much that it's also widely used in its dry form for treats, as a training tool, and as dog show bait.
Simply break off small pieces and feed as dry treats.
Please Note: All weights are wet. Dry weight is less.

Our dog will not eat this dry or wet. I can't say that the food is bad, I believe it is very high quality, it is just that she won't touch it. She loves the beef sticks though. ;-)

My two dogs (boxers) love this food. I give them each a half a patty every other day and just decrease their dry food by 1 cup. They scarf this down and I feel better supplementing their processed food with something REAL! We haven't had any digesting upset with this slow switch.

Started my 9 year old Cocker Spaniel on Nature's Variety Freeze Dried Raw products a few years ago as a way to ease her allergies. She gets 2 for breakfast with some kibble & cleans her bowl. We use Nature's Variety canned products for dinner (with kibble) and her scratching issues have subsided quite a bit! Excellent products, quality ingredients!
