Canadian raw pet food manufacturer Red Dog Blue Kat launched Everyday Raw Anywhere, a shelf-stable raw pet food using GentleDry technology to preserve 95% of nutrients and cut carbon emissions by 75% compared to freeze-dried alternatives. “We discovered a game-changing technology developed by a group of food scientists and engineers—originally for the cannabis industry to protect delicate compounds—and adapted it for raw pet food," said Inna Shekhtman, founder of Red Dog Blue Kat.
This unique drying process preserves essential nutrients without freezing or refrigeration, offering significant benefits over air-dried or dehydrated pet foods in terms of freshness and bioavailable nutrition.
Everyday Raw Anywhere can be sprinkled over food as a topper or served as a complete, balanced meal by adding water.
