Now, more than ever, pet owners are concerned about the health and safety of the products that they are purchasing for their dogs. We are paying attention to the types of plastic used to make their toys, the safety of the treats we're offering and especially the quality of the ingredients in their food. Pupford Dehydrated Dog Food offers the benefits of fresh food without the preparation hassle.
There are many commercial dog foods that are not healthy for your pet to eat. Sadly, due to the lack of government rules and regulations in the industry, these pet foods are for sale on store shelves around the world. This is why it's so important for you to do some research and pay attention to the ingredients in your dog's food.
Dehydration is a slow, gentle way of preparing food with minimal processing. It removes the moisture from the raw ingredients, which naturally preserves the food at the same time. What this means is that dehydration keeps the nutrients and enzymes in the food intact and neutralizes the need for artificial preservatives.
Pupford Dog Food uses this form of preparation to make their new line of dehydrated dog food. Dehydrated dog food uses real ingredients, which makes it as beneficial for your dog's health as homemade food. But, it's better than homemade food because you don't have to do any prep work or cooking to create your dog's meal.
Pupford Dehydrated Dog Food
As you will see in my video review above, our dogs love this food. It's made with natural, real-food ingredients. As with all dehydrated dog food products, all you have to do is mix the food with water and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving it to your pooch. You can see what the dry food looks like in the photo below.
Thanks to the real-food ingredients, the aroma is strong. My dog's were enticed before their bowls even hit the floor. The texture is also likely to appeal to any dog. It has a consistency similar to oatmeal, which means it will be easy for any dog to eat.
Pupford Dehydrated Dog Food would be ideal for dogs with dental health issues or senior pets that have trouble chewing kibble.

Right now this food is only available in two flavors – chicken or beef. The chicken recipe has a minimum of 30% crude protein and 18% crude fat. The beef recipe offers 34% protein and 10% crude fat.

The downside to this dog food is the price. Unfortunately, dog food made with higher quality ingredients is always more expensive. Better ingredients cost more, and that added expense gets passed on to the consumer.
Pupford Dehydrated Dog Food comes in 9-pound bags. Because you have to mix it with water before serving your dog, the 9-pound bag will make 34 pounds of dog food. You can purchase a bag for $69.99.
Our Labrador weighs about 75 pounds. According to the serving instructions, one bag would last about 10-13 days for a dog with a normal activity level. If your dog is more active than normal, one bag of food would only last 8-9 days. Doing the math, it would cost about $7.78 per day to feed Saddie this food.
You can use Pupford Dehydrated Food as a topper for your dog's regular meals. It would give your dog a nutritional boost without the high cost of feeding this as a full meal. You can also get a better deal on the food if you sign up for Pupford's subscription service.
