Two ways to dry a treat

Sniff and Shift freeze dries and air dries treats in small batches in Malvern, PA. Both methods take the water out; the way each one does it decides how a piece looks and feels in the bag.

How air drying works

Air drying runs low heat and moving air over a treat for many hours, so its water evaporates a little at a time.

  1. Low heat Low heat and moving air, over many hours.
  2. Slow drying Moisture leaves slowly.
  3. Denser A denser, chewier result.

What that means in the bag

As the water leaves, the treat shrinks and firms up, so a piece is smaller and heavier for its size than a freeze dried one. It bends before it breaks and takes longer to chew.

Shop air dried

Air dried treats are firm and dense, and heavier in the hand than freeze dried pieces, which are light and crisp. That difference decides most choices. Pick air dried when you want something that lasts a few minutes, and freeze dried when you want a quick reward. Besides the house chews, this collection holds jerky strips, whole dried fish and rolled fish skin from independent makers. Chews are sold by weight or by the piece, so check which before comparing.
