Looking for a simple way to upgrade your pet’s mealtime? Our cooked freeze dried pet food combines the convenience of dry kibble with the high-quality nutrition of real, cooked meat. No fillers, no mystery ingredients, just clean, wholesome protein your pet will love.

Whether you’re feeding a dog or cat, our freeze dried pet food fits every feeding style. Serve it crunchy, soft, or somewhere in between. Below are five fun, nutritious ways to serve freeze dried pet food that your pet will adore.

1. Serve Dry for a Crunchy Meal

Serve it dryLove the convenience of kibble but not the excess carbs? Serve Weruva freeze dried pet food straight from the bag for a satisfying, protein-rich crunch. Our recipes are grain-free, gluten-free, and made without artificial additives.


Each piece is fully cooked before freeze drying, which locks in flavor and preserves nutrients without the high-heat processing used in traditional dry pet food. The result is a shelf-stable, safe-to-serve option that works well for grazers or busy pet parents.

Best for: Cats and dogs who love crunchy textures or free-feeding.

2. Rehydrate for a Tender Meal

RehydratedWant to bring out the rich, meaty flavor? Simply add water and let it sit for about a minute. Rehydrated freeze dried pet food transforms into a tender, moisture-rich meal pets cannot resist.Adding water boosts hydration, which is especially helpful for pets who prefer wet food, need extra moisture in their diet, or have dental sensitivities. You can adjust the texture by adding more or less water to suit your pet’s preference.


Pro tip: Use a spoon or dropper to hydrate small portions at a time. This works well for picky eaters or portion-controlled feeding.

Best for: Pets who love wet food or need added hydration.

3. Use as a High Value Meal Topper

If you have a picky eater or want to boost your pet’s protein intake, crumble freeze dried food over their regular meal. It adds flavor, texture, and nutrition without upsetting sensitive stomachs.

Freeze dried pet food breaks apart easily, making it ideal for topping kibble, canned food, or homemade meals. It's also an excellent way to help pets transition from traditional kibble to freeze dried diets.

Best for: Picky eaters or pets transitioning to freeze dried food.

4. Enrich Mealtime with Interactive Mats

Interactive feeding

Turn mealtime into enrichment time. Freeze dried pieces are perfect for interactive feeding that engages your pet’s natural instincts and helps prevent boredom. Try these ideas:

  • Hide pieces in a snuffle mat for foraging fun
  • Stuff them into treat-dispensing toys for mental stimulation
  • Spread crumbles on a lick mat with a drizzle of water

These enrichment feeding methods can help slow down fast eaters, reduce boredom, and make every meal more engaging.
