Aren all complete and balanced diets equally nutritious?
The words “complete and balanced” on packages of dog food do not speak to their nutritional adequacy. To legally use this phrase, the foods need only meet minimum requirements to keep an average pet alive. Most of us have more than average pets and wish more than to just keep them alive! 8. Comparing Fresh-Frozen & Freeze-Dried Products Freeze-Dried technology allows for the removal of moisture in frozen products at a lower temperature. This allows the protein, fat and carbohydrate quantity to remain the same, but the Freeze-Dried Medallions have very little moisture weight thus the percent of each ingredient will differ between the two forms. The weight (amount) of each nutrient does not change, only the moisture quantity has changed and that changes the percentages of the ingredients.
