Freeze-dried dog food retains more nutrients, flavor, and aroma compared to dehydrated dog food because the freeze-drying process removes moisture at low temperatures, preserving the food’s natural qualities without cooking out essential vitamins and minerals. It’s lightweight, has a longer shelf life, and is easier to rehydrate, making it convenient for storage and travel. Dehydrated dog food, while also shelf-stable and lightweight, uses heat to remove moisture, which can reduce some nutritional value and alter taste and texture.

Single-ingredient treats are often a great option for dogs with sensitivities because you can easily avoid problem proteins. If your dog has known allergies, always choose a treat that matches their diet.

Fillers in dog food, such as corn, wheat, soy, or low-quality by-products, are often used to bulk up the product but provide little nutritional value, potentially leading to health issues in dogs. These ingredients can be harder to digest, may cause allergies or sensitivities, and contribute to weight gain without delivering essential nutrients. Over time, a diet high in fillers can lead to deficiencies, digestive problems, or obesity, as dogs aren’t getting the high-quality proteins, fats, and vitamins they need for optimal health. Wagworthy products contain no filler.

It means exactly what it sounds like: ONE ingredient only. No additives, no preservatives, no binders, no mystery ingredients.
