Top 3 Safe and Nutritious Freeze-Dried Snacks for Dogs to Chew On

Many treats and snacks are not made with high-quality ingredients or are processed in a way that does not preserve nutritional value. Many contain fillers, preservatives, carbohydrates, or empty calories that can negatively affect your pet’s health.

Next time you’re at your local pet store, look for treats that are all-natural and minimally processed.  Freeze-dried snacks, like those found on the VE RAW BAR, have higher nutritional value than those that use high heat, which essentially cooks the snack, sacrificing almost half of the product’s nutrients. With the help of our dog taste testers, we have the top 3 freeze-dried snacks your pet will love.

1. Duck Heads

2. Pig Ears

3. Bully Twists

1.  Duck Heads

Freeze-dried duck heads are the perfect Freeze Dried Snacks for dogs. The Freeze-Dried Duck Head is by far the most popular snack on the VE RAW BAR.   It’s a crunchy, nutritious dog snack that uses the whole animal.  Dogs love the taste of duck heads.  The bones act as a natural toothbrush, cleaning the back teeth.  Plus, this snack is a great source of calcium and phosphorus.

2.  Pig Ears

Freeze-drying makes all the difference when it comes to the VE RAW BAR Pig Ears.  Unlike other pig ears, this snack doesn’t need artificial flavor enhancers that can leave a greasy film or coating on the pig ear, which can cause an upset tummy.  The 48-hour freeze-drying process removes moisture without cooking the product and locking in vital nutrients.  This means the natural aromas are left intact for your pet’s sensory pleasure.

This is a great option for the aggressive chewer in your house.  And you won’t find another pig ear made with Vital Essentials' high-quality standards to ensure safety for your pet and family.

3.  Bully Twists

Bully Twists are low in carbs which promotes a healthy gut, and are easily digestible.  Dogs love the strong flavor and taste.  They are naturally grain-free and 100% protein.  Bully Twists are a healthy, long-lasting chew that promotes healthy gum and teeth.  Because these Freeze-Dried Bully Twists are not cooked, they are slightly softer and thicker, a worry-free chew for pet parents who have dogs with more dental issues.
