Last week I gave you the "Top Dog Dehydrated Food Brands." This week, I continue bringing you my pet-food lists and it is "Top Freeze-Dried Cat Food Brands."  As a certified pet nutritionist, I know that the best diet you can give your pets is a balanced fresh raw diet, however I also know that is not always possible for everyone's lifestyle, budget, etc. etc.  

A quality freeze-dried cat food can be a nice option because it is super easy and convenient, but also outweighs the health of alternatives like canned or dry kibble.  Although a fresh commercial made raw, or even better home-made raw or cooked diet will be a lot more economical, many freeze-dried food options are still a fairly affordable option for most pet-parents. 

The health benefits to your cat of a freeze dried raw diet include; the food is minimally processed (only thing better is fresh cooked/or raw), convenient (open bag, add warm water, serve), also the freeze-drying processing makes the final product at a marginally lower risk of any bacterial contaminants so may be a good option for pet-parents who have small children, are pregnant, or who have pets who are currently acutely ill or very elderly who would be at risk of food-borne infections.
