I suppose it all comes down to what kind of dehydrated food you are buying.

I haven't heard anybody mention them yet so I will since I'm a really happy customer.. Smack Pet Food is from Winnipeg and has been making raw dehydrated food since 2008. They use low-temperature dehydration and the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. The poop comes out the same as a raw diet would. This is the real test! The food also smells fantastic and my labs love it! A great combo I've found is Very Berry Chicken and Caribbean Salmon Fusion.

The great thing about true raw dehydrated diets is that they offer the same tangible benefits as raw but it involves none of the hassle and is super easy to prepare.

Check Smack out! These guys make awesome food and definitely need to be seen some more, plus I'm from Winnipeg too so I want them to get their due!

Companies like NRG tend to dehydrate at higher temperatures. This kills the digestibility of the meat for dogs. In my experience using the nrg diets, the food looks the same going out (poop) as it does goin down the hatch.

Just my 2 cents!
