Real Freeze-Dried Treats for Real Dogs

Dogs do not need complicated treats — they need real ingredients that smell right, taste right, and fit easily into everyday moments. Our freeze-dried meat treats are made with limited ingredients and gently preserved into dry, flaky nuggets that hold onto natural flavor. About the size of a quarter and easy to break apart, they work just as well for training, topping, or rewarding a very good dog.

Smiling Dog Freeze Dried Treats

vs The Rest

Single-ingredient freeze-dried treats are already one of the better choices dogs can get: simple protein, strong flavor, and very little standing in the way. Smiling Dog keeps that same limited-ingredient foundation, while making room for a few thoughtful differences — purposeful whole-food antioxidants in certain recipes and distinctive offerings like Wisconsin cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Questions

Why freeze-dried raw dog treats?

Freeze-drying is hands down the best method for preserving vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in raw ingredients. So much so that it’s considered the closest thing to a fresh food diet next to just eating a balanced raw diet. Your dog gets every benefit whole foods offer - tastes, smells, and nutrients included.

What’s the shelf life of Smiling Dog Treats?

All of our recipes have a shelf life of three years. Store the seasoning in a cool, dry place for optimal freshness. Once the seasoning is opened, use it within 6-8 weeks. It is important to note that because our products are freeze-dried, moisture can affect the shelf life. If you live in a hot, humid environment, the product may be exposed to more moisture and shorten shelf life. To prevent that, reseal the product properly after every use and store it in the fridge.

Don’t raw ingredients carry harmful bacteria?

You, your dog, and yes, raw ingredients all have bacteria, good and bad. It’s just a fact of life. But there’s zero possibility freeze-dried raw pet foods will. Within the US, no shelf-stable pet food or treat is allowed to contain bacteria–a requirement to keep both humans and pets safe. That is one of the many many benefits of giving your pet freeze-dried foods.

How many treats come in a bag?

The number of treats varies by bag because they’re packaged by weight but we can personally attest that our Cheese Treats have 500 treats per bag. We've counted each and every one.

Can my cat eat Smiling Dog Freeze-Dried treats?

There may be a happy, smiling dog on our label, but that by no means excludes kitties from enjoying these treats! We don’t mind, and we’re pretty sure your kitty won’t either. Just be mindful of the size of the pieces you offer, breaking the treats into smaller delectable bites if needed.

Order Questions

When will my order ship?

All orders are shipped within 1-2 business days.

What is the 100% Product Quality Guarantee?

We stand behind the quality of each and every product that goes out our doors. If the product you receive isn’t quite up to snuff, please reach out.
