The Benefits of Dehydrated Foods
It’s More Nutritious and greater for dogs with sensitive stomachs
Dehydrated foods retain many of their original nutrient’s thanks to the low-heat cooking process used to make them. This means that your dog will be getting all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients they need to stay healthy and strong.
Many owners whose dogs suffer from food allergies find great success with dehydrated food and treats.
In many cases, gently processed dehydrated food is often easier for dogs to digest because it doesn't contain the artificial preservatives, by-products, fillers, and other ingredients that often give dogs with sensitive stomachs a hard time.

As a result of the dehydration process, you can expect a longer shelf life for dehydrated foods (in comparison to raw food).
They can be stored at room temperature for two to four weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to two months but you must make sure they’re in airtight containers.
