Freeze-Dried Cat Treats: Why They’re Different & How to Use Them (UK Guide)
If your cat turns their nose up at ordinary snacks, freeze-dried cat treats might be the game-changer. Freeze-drying gently removes moisture at low temperatures, locking in aroma, texture, and nutrition without additives or cooking. The result? High-protein, single-ingredient bites that cats go crazy for—and you can read every word on the ingredient list.
What makes freeze-dried different?
- Single ingredient, real meat. Many options are just chicken or duck—nothing else.
- High in protein. Ideal for training rewards or a clean topper over meals.
- Big flavour payoff. Cats and dogs smell the difference the second you open the pack.
- Minimal processing. No oven baking or frying—nutrients stay intact.
How to serve (3 easy ways)
- Training rewards: snap into small pieces and deliver fast.
- Meal topper: crumble a little over wet or dry food to boost interest.
- Interactive play: hide pieces in puzzle toys for scent-led enrichment.
