Nature's Diet Simply Raw Freeze-Dried Whole Food Meal: A Nutrient-Packed Raw Food Option

Bree Jewell: I should have listened to the review that said some bags just will not reach the proper consistency. Its like a chunky, watery soup. The ingredients seem like they are good quality but the final product was not as I had hoped. Sadly, it's not eligible for return.

wavy3: I love how chunky the texture is. There are chunks of meat and slices of banana. It smells great. It’s easier for my toothless senior to eat than the ones that are all powder. Healthy and affordable option. I don’t get the negative reviews at all.

Great value, durable protection: Nature's Diet Simply Raw® Freeze-Dried Raw Whole Food Meal is a commendable option for dog owners seeking a premium, nutrition-packed diet for their furry companions. While my overall experience leans towards a solid 5 stars, my dog's pickiness brings it down a notch.

The ingredients in this raw meal are top-notch, comprising muscle, organ, bone broth, whole egg, superfoods, and fish oil rich in Omega 3, 6, 9. It's a comprehensive blend that mirrors a dog's natural dietary needs, earning it high marks for nutritional value.

The enticing aroma upon rehydration is a testament to the real, quality ingredients packed into each meal. The easy rehydration process is a convenience appreciated by busy pet owners. However, the time sensitivity after rehydration is worth noting. It's best to ensure your pup enjoys the meal promptly for optimal freshness.

My only hesitation in awarding a perfect score stems from my dog's selective palate. Despite the stellar ingredient list and delightful aroma, the pickiness factor limits the full enjoyment of this otherwise exceptional product.

In conclusion, Nature's Diet Simply Raw® Freeze-Dried Raw Whole...

smc618: My dog absolutely LOVES this food. I wish they made this formula for cats instead of the kibble. I'm trying to stay away from kibble. I laugh at the reviews from ppl complaining that the mixture is too thick when it CLEARLY states on the bag that you can ADJUST the amount of water used to get your desired consistency. I use 1.5x ( or more) Iwater plus liquid bone broth. I also don't use this food at the sole source of a meal. I add fresh raw meat, canned fish or other dehydrated raw like Vital/Acana/Primal to it and increase the water by another half cup or more to accomodate rehydration. I also use the powder w/o any meat chunks as a "gravy" for when I serve fresh raw food. I have a 67 lb Staffy and 1 bag of this food lasts me a MONTH. It's WELL worth the $$ and the ingredients are fabulous. I'm sold on it. It's super economical compared to any of the other brands ( like Honest Kitchen ...which is just gruel-like mush and Only Natural Pet ).

PD: We switched to Nature's Diet Simply Raw Freeze-Dried Raw Whole Food Meal (Beef) from IAMS dry dog food due to our dog’s skin/hair problems, digestive issues, and gas. We have an 85lb hound. Here’s what I’ve learned after 13 bags of this stuff over the last 4+ months.

The Good:
After a month, my dog’s skin/hair problems, digestive issues, and gas were all resolved.
We previously fed her 2 cups of IAMS dry dog food per meal (2x per day). Now she only eats 1 to 1.25 cups of Nature’s Diet meal.
Dog drinks less than half of the water she used to.

The Bad:
You have to mix this food with water, in a 1:1 ratio, and then let it sit for 15mins to 1hour.
Once the food is mixed with water we normally let it sit for 15 mins and it quickly congeals into a thick moist paste with hydrated chucks of meat and vegetables. This is what I consider to be the normal or “good” consistency.

Some bags however don’t congeal at all no matter how long you let it sit. This means you feed your dog something like a brown soup with hard chunks of meat and vegetables in it. Not good. I’m guessing these bags lack whatever binding agent...
