FAQs

Why freeze-dried raw dog treats?

Freeze-drying is hands down the best method for preserving vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in raw ingredients. So much so that it’s considered the closest thing to a fresh food diet next to just eating a balanced raw diet. Your dog gets every benefit whole foods offer - tastes, smells, and nutrients included. 

What’s the shelf life of Smiling Dog Treats?

All of our recipes have a shelf life of three years. Store the seasoning in a cool, dry place for optimal freshness. Once the seasoning is opened, use it within 6-8 weeks. It is important to note that because our products are freeze-dried, moisture can affect the shelf life. If you live in a hot, humid environment, the product may be exposed to more moisture and shorten shelf life. To prevent that, reseal the product properly after every use and store it in the fridge.

Don’t raw ingredients carry harmful bacteria?

You, your dog, and yes, raw ingredients all have bacteria, good and bad. It’s just a fact of life. But there’s zero possibility freeze-dried raw pet foods will. Within the US, no shelf-stable pet food is allowed to contain bacteria–a requirement to keep both humans and pets safe. That is one of the many many benefits of feeding freeze-dried raw pet food.

How many treats come in a bag?

The number of treats varies by bag because they’re packaged by weight but we can personally attest that our Cheese Treats have 500 treats per bag. We've counted each and every one.

How do I feed Kibble Seasoning?

Sprinkle generously, add warm water and stir for a meal that tastes more like a delicious treat!
