❄️ 90% animal-based, freeze-dried raw: the benefits of raw without the drawbacks
Beef, beef liver, whole herring, bones, tripe, kidneys. Cold freeze-drying ` 4,130 kcal/kg, 103 kcal per biscuit. Without freezing, without high-temperature cooking, without damage. AAFCO for all life stages (except large-breed growth).
Crumble one patty or half a patty over the usual portion of kibble to boost nutritional value, add palatability, and tempt picky dogs. Highly valued for transitioning to a premium brand or for getting a dog that’s turning up its nose at its food to eat.
Compact, lightweight format that does not require refrigeration. Perfect for travel, camping, the cottage, or holidays. You can slightly rehydrate with a little lukewarm water before serving to increase hydration, or serve as is with water on the side.
Break a biscuit into small pieces to make rewards dogs really value during training sessions. Particularly useful for working on difficult behaviors (recall, anti-escape, veterinary handling).
Why freeze-dried rather than frozen?
The freeze-drying (freeze-drying) involves freezing the ingredients and then removing the water under vacuum at a very low temperature. Result: it preserves all the nutrients of raw food (enzymes, fragile vitamins, omega-3), without a freezer or messy handlingThe finished product is shelf-stable, lightweight, easy to transport, and keeps for a long time. It’s the most convenient way to serve raw food to your dog.
Why are the galettes so expensive?
The freeze-drying process is slow and costly: allow 24 to 48 hours to produce one bag. The concentration rate is enormous: one 397 g bag is equivalent to about 1.6 kg of fresh meat before freeze-drying. That explains the price. For a medium-sized dog, use should therefore be reserved for topper, travel or Reward rather than as an exclusive daily meal.

1/4 to 1 patty per day depending on the size of the dog and its kibble ration. Crumble over its usual food. For a "wake-up" effect on a fussy dog, start with 1/4 of a patty and increase if needed.
Count approximately 10 biscuits per 10 kg of dog per day, divided into 2 meals. Rehydrate slightly with lukewarm water to increase hydration. Best used for short periods (travel, camping) rather than as an exclusive daily option (for economic reasons).
Break one treat into 4 to 8 pieces to make high-value rewards. Very useful for recall and difficult behaviours.

Legally, it is a complete AAFCO food formulated for all life stages (except growth of dogs that will become >70 lb as adults). But given the price, it is generally used as topper on kibble or as High-value rewardFor travel or if no kitchen is available, it can serve as a complete backup meal.
Yes. The beef recipe is single-protein : beef and beef offal as the main protein sources. The only other animal ingredient is the whole herring (fish) for omega-3s. No chicken, turkey, lamb, or pork.
Possible! Dogs generally love freeze-dried patties. That’s actually their purpose: to bring enthusiasm back to mealtime. To avoid dependency, vary how you use them (sometimes as a topper, sometimes as a reward, sometimes not at all).
Optional. You can serve as is (ensuring access to water) or add a little lukewarm water to let it swell before serving. The rehydrated option increases the dog's hydration and is often better liked as a complete meal.
The beef recipe is the only one of the 4 flavors that isn't NO recommended for the growth of dogs that will be >70 lb as adults. If your puppy will reach this size, take a look instead at the recipes Duck, Turkey or Chicken, AAFCO-formulated for all life stages, including large breeds.
