Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I feed fresh, freeze-dried food?
This question strikes at the core of canine health. Our dog food is crafted from whole, high-protein ingredients—no fillers, no synthetics. With obesity, cancer, and diabetes on the rise in dogs, a fresh, protein-rich diet is crucial. Dogs share 99% of their DNA with wolves, thriving on meat, not corn and carbs like most kibble. Owners switching to our food see real benefits: better energy, shinier coats, improved digestion. Science backs it—meat-centric diets work.
How is Lincoln Naturals freeze-dried food made?
Our freeze-dried food starts with USDA food-grade meat, packed with protein and essential nutrients. Then, we add superfood fruits and veggies, loaded with vitamins and fiber, for a complete, balanced diet.
Freeze-drying is key. We freeze each ingredient, then place it in a vacuum where ice turns directly to vapor, preserving nutrients without losing flavor.
By freeze-drying separately, every ingredient keeps its nutritional power. The result? The convenience of dry food with the quality of fresh.
What are the recipes and ingredients?
Our recipes center on premium, USDA food-grade meats: Angus beef, Grade A chicken, liver, wild-caught salmon, and eggs. These top-tier ingredients, sourced from human food suppliers, make up the bulk of our recipes. The rest? Superfood fruits and vegetables, packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants to elevate nutrition.
We keep our ingredient list short and purposeful, focusing on nutrient density and optimal portions to match a dog’s dietary needs. With high protein, low carbs, and zero fillers or artificial ingredients, our food aligns with a dog’s biology, supporting natural digestion and vitality.
Do I need to refrigerate the food?
No need for refrigeration—our freeze-dried dog food stays fresh in airtight bags without cold storage. With a long shelf life, it keeps at room temperature for years, freeing up space in your fridge. It’s perfect for travel, requires no thawing, and is mess-free to feed. Plus, we ship in standard boxes—no pricey insulated packaging or ice packs needed. This means your dollars go into top-quality ingredients, not logistics. Our freeze-dried food offers convenience, cost savings, and premium nutrition for your pet.
Do I need to cook the food?
No cooking needed. Just scoop and serve. Add water, bone broth, or goat’s milk—your choice. Easy, convenient, ready for your dog to enjoy.
How do you know what kind of food my dog needs?
Start with what your dog shouldn’t be eating. Most kibble is carb-heavy and forces dogs to process what their bodies aren’t built for. Dogs and wolves don’t roam cornfields—they’re hunters, evolved to thrive on meat.
Our freeze-dried food, made with USDA food-grade ingredients, is crafted to fit your dog’s natural diet: high-protein and meat-focused.
Kibble often hides carbs through “ingredient splitting” and is cooked at high temps, creating acrylamide—a potential carcinogen. Worse, carbs fuel many canine cancers. Leading vets agree: dogs with cancer need protein and fat, not carbs.
Poorly regulated, the U.S. dog food industry allows for low-grade ingredients. Our food is different: real meat, visible quality, and superfoods with proven benefits. Open a bag, and you’ll see the difference—one that supports your dog’s health, vitality, and longevity.
Is Lincoln Naturals suitable for puppies?
Yes, our freeze-dried dog food is ideal for puppies. Made with USDA food-grade, high-protein, meat-centric ingredients, it meets the biological needs of all life stages. Our food goes beyond basic requirements, providing every nutrient needed for puppies, adults, and seniors. Each serving delivers essential nutrients for your dog’s optimal health and development, at any age.
