Perfect for: All cat breeds, kittens, puppies (8 weeks+), small dog breeds, senior pets with dental issues, raw feeding beginners, multi-pet households.
What is Freeze Dried?: Our Beef is frozen at peak freshness. Then moisture is removed from the food through sublimation, which converts water into vapor. This process protects the food's nutritional value as well as giving the food a shelf life of up to 10 years!
How to Store/Use:
- rehydrate the food before consumption by using 2-3 times the amount of warm water compared to the amount of the freeze dried food
- Will last years if stored correctly
- Do not refrigerate
- Store in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight
A simple starting point when feeding freeze dry to raw is to feed 1/4 of the amount of freeze dry compared to raw before the water is added. A 50lb dog at 3% feed to body weight would get 1.5lb of raw or 6 oz of freeze dry without water added, daily.
Every Dog is Different
Every Dog is Different
While there are many dog owners that exclusively feed their dogs Midwest Legacy Beef products, we recognize that every dog's nutritional needs are different.
Midwest Legacy Beef can serve as the optimal base for more complex recipes. You can add blueberries, sweet potatoes, rice, or any other natural dog-safe ingredient you'd like.
Please consult with your veterinarian based on your dog's unique needs.
Packaging & Serving
Packaging & Serving
Raw orders will be sent out frozen and tightly packed in an 1.5 inch thick cooler. Once you receive your order, simply freeze anything you don't plan on using immediately.
If any of your products arrive thawed or starting to defrost, this is perfectly fine and safe! You do not need to worry or panic. It is perfectly safe to thaw and re-freeze pet food.
When you are ready to feed your pup, simply pull the package out of the freezer 24 hours before, thaw, then serve!
Freeze Dry orders will ship separate from raw orders. Freeze dry is shelf stable and can simply be stored in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
When ready to feed freeze dry, mix the freeze dry with 2-3 times the amount of warm water to reconstitute, then fold or reseal the bag.
If you have any questions about feed preparations, or thawing, please call 563.580.6299. We are here to help!

Ask Jason
What’s the difference between freeze-dried dog food and kibble?
Freeze-dried dog food starts with 100% raw meat that’s frozen at very low temperatures and vacuum-dried to remove moisture while preserving nutrients, enzymes, and flavor.
Freeze-dried food:
✅ Retains most nutrients and natural flavor
✅ Has no preservatives or fillers
✅ Offers a natural texture similar to raw
✅ Can be served dry or rehydrated
See the full breakdown on our Freeze-Dried vs. Kibble page.
How do I serve freeze-dried dog food?
Simply rehydrate with water or goat’s milk before feeding. You can serve it as a full meal, a topper, or a treat. It’s lightweight, shelf-stable, and perfect for travel or easy cleanup.
When converting raw to freeze-dried portions, use this ratio:
👉 Raw amount ÷ 4 = Freeze-Dry amount
You can also use our feeding chart on the Feeding Guide page to find the right serving for your dog’s age and weight.
Is freeze-dried food as nutritious as raw dog food?
Yes! Freeze-drying locks in nearly all the nutrients, natural enzymes, and flavor found in raw meat. It’s an excellent option if you want the benefits of raw feeding with the convenience of shelf-stable storage and easier cleanup.
