This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to keep your pup healthy and thriving on a frozen diet—plus some fun frozen treat ideas for dogs that double as enrichment!

What Is Frozen Dog Food?

Frozen dog food refers to meals that are preserved through freezing rather than high-heat processing. This method locks in nutrients and avoids artificial preservatives. There are several types:

Raw frozen dog food: Includes uncooked meat, bones, and organs.

Lightly cooked frozen meals: Often made with gently cooked meats and vegetables.

Pre-portioned patties or rolls: Convenient and easy to store.

Unlike processed kibble, frozen meals offer a natural, whole-food approach—closely resembling what a dog’s ancestors would have eaten.

TruePaws Raw Foods provides a variety of options including chicken mince, chicken and vegetables, and mixed protein packs for tailored nutrition.

Benefits of Feeding Frozen Dog Food Daily

Feeding frozen food daily has several advantages:

Improved digestion: Natural enzymes and moisture make meals easier to digest.

Stronger immune system: Rich in vitamins and minerals from real ingredients.

Healthier coat and skin: Essential fatty acids support shine and reduce itching.

Better hydration: High moisture content helps with urinary and kidney health.

Weight management: Lean proteins help build muscle while controlling fat intake.

At TruePaws, each product is designed to deliver complete nutrition with minimal processing—making daily feeding both simple and beneficial.

Core Nutrients Dogs Need Daily

To maintain complete health, dogs need a balanced mix of:

Proteins – For muscle development and repair

Fats – For energy and skin/coat health

Vitamins A, B-complex, D, E, and K support metabolic function

Minerals – Calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and iron for bones and immune health

Moisture – Essential for organ function and hydration

TruePaws' frozen dog food ideas incorporate these nutrients through real meat, bone, organ meat, and natural vegetables, providing a complete BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet.
