Gently air-dried, made with human-grade ingredients
And free from artificial additives – just clean, honest nutrition your dog will thrive on.
If you’re fed up with highly processed kibble, messy raw feeding, or meals that lack real substance, our Air-Dried Menu range is a simpler way forward.
No thawing, no prep, no compromises – just nutrient-rich, ready-to-serve food that delivers the benefits of fresh feeding with the convenience of dry.
Lightweight, shelf-stable, and packed with real ingredients, it’s proper food made practical – wherever you are.
Made in Our Own Pet Food Kitchen
Every batch starts in our in-house pet food kitchen. We use only fresh, human-grade ingredients sourced entirely from Europe – pure muscle meat, nutritious offal, vibrant vegetables, fruits & high-quality oils. Nothing ultra-processed, nothing synthetic.
Instead of high-heat extrusion, we gently air-dry our food at low temperatures. Traditional kibble is cooked under intense heat and pressure, which can strip away nutrients and flavour. Our slow air-drying process preserves the natural goodness of every ingredient, locking in nutrients while maintaining the structure of real meat and veg.
The result? A 100% natural, nutrient-dense, highly digestible meal that looks, smells, and tastes like real food – because it is real food.
Our 3 steps to air dried dog food
Step 1
We source fresh, wholesome ingredients from across Europe and gently mince them to create perfectly sized, easy-to-serve nuggets.
We never use binding agents or fillers – the nuggets hold their shape naturally and are formed in a frozen environment.
Step 2
Each batch is gently air-dried at low temperatures to remove moisture while preserving natural nutrients and flavour – with no additives, binders, or preservatives.
Unlike high-heat kibble, our process keeps ingredients intact, resulting in a clean, naturally shelf-stable food with minimal processing.
Step 3
Before leaving our kitchen, every batch is quality checked, with each nugget inspected for consistency.
Our air-dried meals are packed in black, resealable bags to protect nutrients from light and keep food fresh. Once opened, they stay fresh for up to 6 weeks.
The result is a clean, nutrient-rich food that’s easy to eat, highly digestible, and packed with real goodness.
Why do we air dry instead of extrusion?
Why is air-dried dog food better than extrusion?
- Low & slow drying – air-dried at gentle temperatures to help protect nutrients, unlike extrusion which uses high heat and pressure.
- More natural nutrition – retains more of the original goodness from real ingredients, without heavy processing.
- No need for fillers – no reliance on starches or binders required to form kibble.
- Better taste & digestibility – closer to real food, making it easier for dogs to enjoy and absorb.
- Minimally processed – air-drying keeps things simple, avoiding the ultra-processing used in traditional kibble.
Our air-dried menus are:
- Shelf-stable & travel-ready – no freezing, perfect for cupboards, adventures, or on-the-go feeding.
- Gently air-dried – low-temperature drying helps retain natural nutrients and flavour from real ingredients.
- Lightweight & easy to serve – simply portion, pour, and feed – no prep, no thawing, no fuss.
-
Naturally preserved – no artificial additives, fillers, or high-heat processing.
It’s the cleanest, most practical way to serve alongside your dogs current raw diet or as an alternative to frozen raw dog food when on the move.
No defrosting drama, no “what do I do with half a block?” moments – just open and serve.

My 2 rescued fur babies absolutely love this food. At first I was sceptical so only bought a small bag but that finished really quickly so next I bought the larger pack. I highly recommend this food.

Which flavours do we offer?
We offer a delicious range of 5 different protein options across our Air Dried Menu Range so you can rotate proteins and keep mealtimes exciting with a new crunchy texture whilst maintaining a high quality diet.
All recipes are complimentary and should be fed alongside our Fresh Menu Range or your dogs current raw diet to ensure a fully balanced meal.
Here are the mouth-watering flavours available:
How much do I feed per day?
Simply serve 1-1.5 % of your dog’s body weight per day (e.g. 150-225g for a 15 kg dog) if feed soley or adapt this amount depending on your % of other food used. Transition slowly over 5–7 days and watch the magic happen. Feeding guidelines can be found on every bag or on our website listing for each product.
