Dehydration, or drying, is an ancient and gentle method of food preservation. Food dehydration works by removing only the water. Almost all other nutrients remain–and become highly concentrated. Dehydrated foods are highly nutritious, easy to prepare and store, and light-weight to ship.
Thrive - Naturally gluten-free, Quinoa is a valuable source of complete protein. It contains every single amino acid and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair. In addition to protein, quinoa features a host of other health-building nutrients.
Hydration Each dry-measured cup should be mixed with 1 to 1.5 cups of warm water, and will yield about 1lb of fresh food. The fresh food consistency will resemble oatmeal or stew.

This looked so healthy, but I don't think my dogs like veggies that much and they did not like the smell of it. Too bad, it was easy to make SF

2. Louise on 2/23/2010, said:
We have 5 toy dogs from 4 months to 13 years of age. Our oldest dog, a Hairless Chinese Crested, had become very picky and it was difficult to get her to eat. Adding a bit of New Zealand Forrest Delicaies to her dry food, a prescription diet from our vet, has increased her appetite to the point that she will eat as much as we give her. The other 4 dogs, including our 4 month old Chihuahua puppy, absolutely ADORE it too!! We have tried samples of all the dehydrated Addiction food and they like all of them. The New Zealand Forrest Delicacies and the Summer Brushtail seem to make up into a thicker consistancy so we use those two. The dogs would eat any of them however and we will continue to purchase them to add variety to their diet!!
3. Holly on 1/2/2010, said:
This one gives Abigail gas. Love the brand but I probably won't buy this recipe again. We'll go back to the venison and fig and skip the brushtail.

I love their product because it can be served wet or dry. Perfect when we have to board our babies. And at home I can add water or juices.
2. Erika on 7/13/2010, said:
This seems to be a great food, however, it just didn't agree with my dog because I think she has an allergy to potatoes! Otherwise, very good, although a little on the high side for price!

This product is great! Feeding a raw diet and traveling with my dogs is always a bit of a problem since their raw diet is frozen. This has made life easier and my dogs LOVE it! It only takes minutes to hydrate and is soft enough that even my foster Yorkie, puppy mill survivor that lost ALL his teeth during his dental can eat. I will buy this again and again and with no shipping it's easier then going to the store. I purchased the Figlious Venison Feast - also no grain - and liked it just as well.

I try to be very well informed regarding dog food ingredients, i'm a pet groomer and boarding kennel owner and often discuss pet foods with clients.
This is the best product i've found for our 2 dachshunds and small poodle, no one has itchy skin anymore. Not even the Chinese Crested.
Very convenient to use, it smells wonderful.

Chicken Heart Bites - Our freeze-dried, grain-free treats are perfect to complement the raw diet. Why defeat the purpose of feeding a grain-free diet by giving treats made of wheat flour? Our treats are made from the same human-grade meats and vegetables as we use in our foods. These convenient easy to feed snacks can be used dry as a training treat (they make great ring-bait for dogs) or reconstituted for a more savory meal replacement.
Or for a more savory treat, reconstitute by crumbling and soaking in a small amount of warm water.
