Air-Dried
Raw ingredients are slowly dehydrated using circulating air at low temperatures (typically 60-80°C) over an extended period, often 10 hours or more. This gradually removes moisture to around 10-14% while the lower temperatures aim to preserve more of the natural nutrients and enzymes compared to high-heat extrusion. The result is a dense, jerky-like product that is shelf-stable without refrigeration. Because air-drying can handle high inclusions of fresh meat, these products typically have shorter, more meat-focused ingredient lists than kibble.
