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.
Duck 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.

Makes a great training treat. I cut them up into very small pieces to reinforce my dog during obedience training. He really enjoys them and his performances have become better in anticipation of these treats.

It's raw without the thaw!

3. Holly on 9/9/2009, said:
I switched Abigail from Timberwolf Organics to Addiction foods. She has had no tummy problems at all during the transition. Since she is a big girl, the dehydrated formula is her "treat" mixed with her dry food in the evening.
4. Frances on 9/7/2009, said:
This is a real palate pleaser. Jeni licks her plate over and over. She loves the venison and fig food. I love how she loves it and how she is enjoying her food.
I plan on ordering more.....

My dog likes Addiction brand better than Honest Kitchen, and it smells better to me also. She, a Bernese Mountain Dog, licks up every crumb.

Very nice product so easy to prepare and the dogs love it and it seems so healthy!! susan
2. Greta on 10/31/2009, said:
I have been experimenting with making my own homemade raw meals for my Bernese Mountain Dog, but nothing seems to give her so much energy and lift as Addiction dog food. Right now the biggest winners seem to be the ones with brushtail like New Zealand Forest Delicacies and Perfect Summer Brushtail.
3. Linda on 10/9/2009, said:
My dogs are the most finicky things but will eat this over any other food (dog, that is) with the exception being canned food.
4. Rebecca on 10/2/2009, said:
I tried the dogs on this as the brushtail was out and they did great on it and liked it just as much as the brushtail. This of course also has brushtail in it.
5. Alissa on 6/16/2009, said:
again, my shiba loved this food - she would start salivating when she saw me dish out and mix up this food. she seemed to like this flavor best above all the others i ordered. i also like how it is hypoallergenic, as she tends to have some food allergies (thankfully, not severe). between the dehydrated food and her kibble, i hope to see a significant change in her weight. her poop is always smaller and much less smelly being on this than her old food.

This was perfect in every way!! They loved it and easy to mix and feed to them. My dogs had very bad skin problems, and they are doing so much better. Their fur feels silky. NO more scratching!! Yeah!! They only problem is that K9 is allways out of stock on this product.
2. Diane on 10/3/2009, said:
It must be good as it is often out of stock. My dogs loves it.
3. Rebecca on 9/7/2009, said:
This is a great product for dogs that have allergies to certain foods. The dogs like this formula and their coats and skin are very healthy.
4. Deborah on 8/14/2009, said:
Pricey, but worth it if you have dogs suffering severe food allergies. Our yellow lab/golden retriever mix siblings were on this for about a month and the improvement was dramatic. We mix it now with a completely raw diet as they grew to dislike the consistency (it's a powder basically) and served wet or dry, they lost their desire for it; however mixed with the raw food daily they eat it just fine. And the licking/itching is now gone - as well as the female's frequent ear infections. Great stuff!
