Raw Meow Freeze Dried Meals: What They Are and When to Use Them
Raw feeding fresh is ideal, but sometimes life gets in the way.
Maybe you forgot to defrost food. Maybe you are travelling. Maybe someone else is feeding your cat. Maybe your cat needs a balanced topper. Maybe you just want something quick, easy, and still properly species appropriate.
That is where Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meals come in.
They give you the convenience of a shelf stable product, without giving up the benefits of a properly balanced raw meal.
What are freeze dried complete meals?
Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meals are fully balanced meals that only need water added before feeding.
They are made using freeze drying, which removes moisture while keeping the food raw. This helps preserve the original nutrients, texture, colour, and flavour far better than heavily processed pet foods.
It also tends to make the aroma stronger, which can make freeze dried meals especially appealing to fussy cats or cats who need a bit more encouragement to eat.
Why use freeze dried meals?
Freeze dried complete meals are useful for all sorts of situations.
They are a great option when fresh raw is not available, when you need something quick and balanced, when you want to add variety to your cat’s diet, or when your cat needs a topper to encourage eating.
They are also incredibly handy for travel, catteries, pet sitters, holidays, emergencies, or those days where you simply need feeding to be easy.
Shelf stable and convenient
One of the biggest advantages of freeze dried meals is convenience.
They do not need refrigeration or freezing before opening, they have a long shelf life, and they are easy to store and use. That makes them practical without turning into ultra processed junk.
Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meals have a shelf life of two years from production and do not require artificial preservatives.
Suitable for all life stages
All Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meals are formulated to meet the nutrient levels established by AAFCO for all life stages.
That means they are complete and balanced options suitable for growing kittens, adult cats, and pregnant or nursing queens.
How to prepare them
Preparation is simple.
Add one scoop, which is 15g, of Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meal.
Add water to your cat’s preferred consistency. Some cats prefer less, but around 40 to 50ml, or 3 to 4 tablespoons, is a general guide for one 15g scoop.
Mix well, allow the food to rehydrate, and serve.
This makes approximately 60gm of prepared food.
Bone broth can also be used instead of, or alongside, water for extra flavour.
Freeze dried meals should only be rehydrated at the time of feeding and are not intended to be fed dry.
Which freeze dried meal should you choose?
That depends on your cat and what you need the food to do.
Everyday complete meals
Our everyday freeze dried complete meal range includes Chicken, Lamb, and Duck/Beef, giving you a variety of balanced options depending on your cat’s needs and preferences.
Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meals are a convenient way to feed a complete and balanced raw diet when you want something quick, easy, and shelf stable.
They are perfect as a full meal, a travel option, a balanced topper, or simply to add variety into the rotation. Lamb is also a lower phosphorus option within the range.
Hypoallergenic option: Roo and Pork
If your cat has suspected food intolerance, ingredient sensitivities, or needs a more targeted option, Raw Meow Freeze Dried Roo and Pork Complete Meal may be worth considering.
This recipe uses two novel proteins that are not commonly found in many commercial cat foods. Kangaroo has low allergenic potential, while pork adds more fat and energy to the meal.
It is free from chicken, fish, green lipped mussel, and egg yolk, making it a useful option where common ingredients need to be avoided.
It also includes supportive ingredients chosen for their functional role, including carrot fibre, algae extract, algae meal, spinach, wheatgrass, pumpkin, and sunflower meal.
Elimination diet options: Goat and Emu
If your vet has recommended an elimination diet, Raw Meow Freeze Dried Goat and Emu Meals can make that process much easier.
An elimination diet is used to help identify food allergies or intolerances by feeding a very limited diet, then carefully reintroducing other foods over time.
The reason novel proteins matter is simple. If your cat has never eaten that protein before, the immune system is less likely to have developed a reaction to it. That is why novel proteins are so often used when investigating suspected food allergies or intolerances.
Our Goat and Emu freeze dried meals are fully balanced, single protein novel protein meals suitable for all life stages, making them a practical option for elimination diets. Goat is also a lower phosphorus option.
They also include functional ingredients chosen to support gut health, including algae meal DHA, carrot fibre, and olive leaf extract.
If you are undertaking an elimination diet, it is best done with veterinary guidance so proteins can be reintroduced properly and safely.
A practical option for real life
Fresh raw feeding is fantastic, but not every day runs perfectly.
Freeze dried meals are there for the days when convenience matters, without losing sight of proper nutrition.
Whether you need a complete shelf stable meal, a balanced topper, a travel option, a hypoallergenic formula, or a novel protein meal to support an elimination diet, Raw Meow Freeze Dried Complete Meals make it easier.
