Most commercial dog food is working against your dog.
Here's what's really in the bowl - and why it matters.
Many commercial dog foods are processed at very high temperatures (over 300°F). This process can reduce the bioavailability of some nutrients and destroy natural enzymes.
According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention: 59% of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese. Poor diet quality is a major contributing factor.
Many dog foods contain large amounts of:
corn, wheat, soy, meat by-products. These ingredients are often used to reduce cost and increase shelf stability.
Dogs share 99.9% of their DNA with wolves. Their digestive systems evolved to process: meat, organs, bones, and plant matter — not heavily processed pellets.
Pupford Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food combines the nutrition of raw food with the convenience of kibble. Our freeze-drying process gently preserves nutrients while removing moisture - creating food that is:
Rich in real meat protein
Packed with natural vitamins and minerals
Free from artificial fillers and preservatives
Highly digestible and nutrient dense
All while staying shelf-stable and easy to serve.
What happens when dogs eat closer to nature?
When dogs get nutrient-dense, minimally processed food, pup parents often notice:
High-quality ingredients at peak freshness are slowly and gently freeze-dried to lock in nutrients and minerals - without the need for artificial preservatives.
Health You Can Trust
Every batch goes through a safe, FDA-approved, non-thermal kill step that eliminates harmful pathogens - without destroying the good stuff.
Holding Onto The Raw
Our freeze-drying is done at colder temperatures and over a slower duration than industry norms - to preserve nutritional value and taste.
Real dogs. Real results.

My boy loves it
I have had my boy on the same kibble since he was a pup (obviously changed from puppy to adult food but same brand). He’s a large breed, very active, but still big. One of his litter mates has a thyroid issue so we wanted to try to get him to lose weight just to be sure he didn’t have issues without having to run tests. I made the decision to switch him all together to this food and after being on it for a few months I’m blown away with the difference. He’s lost 14 lbs. His energy is almost puppy-like again (not that he was sluggish but now he’s extra lol). He sleeps so soundly. It has made a huge difference and I’m sticking to it.

Perfect for pups with a discerning palate!
In recent years, my priceless antique of a dog has become increasingly fickle with food. Her exact age is unknown but when she came into my life nearly 16 years ago, the rescue estimated she was around three. She's missing several teeth and seems to enjoy the crunchy but not difficult to chew texture. She must love the way it tastes because as soon as she smells it, she comes running (well, her version of running) to her bowl and scarfs it down. Perfect for pups with a discerning palate! And I just like that I can pronounce everything on the ingredient list.

I have two sick dogs
I have two Maltese. One in CHF for five years, one recently diagnosed. The one for five years is now in renal failure. Of course, the vets wanted her on prescription food, but she stopped eating. We exhausted homemade and commercial foods—so many. I came across this food on Facebook. I took the leap and after some training treats, they started eating the food, all by hand. When your dogs won't eat anything, including human food, you get them what they will eat. So far this is working. So, thank you. P.S. I know I can't recommend your food for sick dogs but what works, works. Latest BUN went from 130 to 84.
