Dog Dehydrated/Freeze Dried

Dehydrated raw dog treats are raw meat, organ, or produce pieces with the moisture slowly drawn out at low temperature, so the texture stays chewy and the ingredient list stays short. This collection holds 32 dehydrated and freeze dried options for dogs, from $8.55 to $28.60 CAD, including treats, training rewards, and chews.

Dehydrated or freeze dried: what's the difference?

Dehydrated treats use gentle warm air, which leaves a firmer, jerky-like bite — think Crumps' Natural Dehydrated Beef Tendersticks or Dehydrated Lamb Chops. They last longer in the mouth, which suits dogs who like to work at a chew.

Freeze drying removes moisture from frozen raw material, giving a light, crumbly piece that breaks apart easily. Crumps' Natural Freeze Dried Beef Liver Bites and the Mini Trainers version are the usual pick here, because they snap into smaller portions and don't leave greasy hands during training sessions.

Which option suits your dog?

• Puppies and small breeds: freeze dried mini pieces such as Beef Liver Mini Trainers or Freeze Dried Chicken Bites — small, soft, easy to hand out repeatedly.
• Dogs who need a lower-intensity reward: plant-based options like Crumps' Natural Dehydrated Sweet Potato Chews.
• Protein rotation or novelty: lamb, chicken, and fish options, including Granville Island Pet Treatery's To Dive For dehydrated treats.
• Marine ingredients: NZPF Woof Green Lipped Mussels and Lamb Green Tripe with Green Lipped Mussels, from The New Zealand Pet Food Co., are freeze dried and support a varied diet.

What to check before you buy

Read the ingredient panel first — the best dehydrated raw treats name one protein or one vegetable and little else. Next, match the piece size to your dog: large jerky sticks can be broken down, but tiny freeze dried bites cannot be made bigger.

Consider how you'll use them. Treats given by the handful during recall practice should be low-calorie and crumb-friendly; a single evening chew can be denser and longer-lasting. Oven-Baked Tradition Dehydrated Beef Liver works for both, since the pieces can be portioned by hand.

Store opened bags sealed and dry. Dehydrated and freeze dried formats are shelf-stable, but they draw moisture from humid air, which softens the texture.

Every item here ships Canada-wide, with same-day pickup in North York for GTA shoppers. If you feed more than one species, the cat dehydrated and freeze dried collection carries the same formats in cat-appropriate sizes.
