Treats that love your pets as much as you do.
Ernie's Bites are reinventing treats and meal toppers for your pet companions using authentic, locally sourced meat and freeze-drying their nutritional benefits.
The Freeze-Dried Difference
All of our pet food is locally sourced in Tasmania and freeze-dried while still raw. Perfect for a chewy treat or a juicy rehydrated meal topper!
| Air-Dried | Freeze-Dried |
|---|---|
| Gentle drying retains many nutrients but prolonged air exposure degrades some vitamins and enzymes. | Low-temperature sublimation preserves heat-sensitive vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, and omega-3s. |
| Air exposure during drying increases oxidation risk. | Vacuum and low temperatures limit oxidation and preserve fatty-acid profiles. |
| Some oxidative changes during drying reduce fat digestibility. | Raw fats remain structurally intact and less oxidized for superior digestibility. |
| Some enzyme loss occurs with extended drying. | Retains natural enzymes and delicate bioactive compounds. |
| Shelf-stable but typically shorter duration than freeze-dried. | Long shelf life without preservatives due to near-total moisture removal. |
