The short version
Ember starts with human-grade protein, is gently dehydrated at low temperature, and is prepared with warm water when it is time to feed. Every recipe is complete and balanced for dogs of all life stages.
Why dehydrated
Kibble is pressed and cooked at high heat. Raw needs a freezer and careful handling. Ember is gently dehydrated at low temperature, then rehydrated with warm water into a real meal. Pantry-stable, cooked gently, ready in minutes.
Everyday preparation
Scoop, add warm water, serve. The full preparation guide is on How It Works.

Whole food first. Then the joint, gut and coat support owners usually buy separately, measured and on the label.
Per-cup values are calculated from guaranteed minimums and cup weight. One cup of Chicken is 123 g dry.
Also in every recipe
Three whole-food recipes
Three gently dehydrated recipes built around human-grade protein, with one shared preparation: scoop, mix, and serve.
Clean and mild. A good starting point for dogs new to whole food. 445 kcal per cup.
Rich and deeply flavored, for dogs that prefer a stronger protein. 439 kcal per cup.
Fish-forward, for variety and rotation. 390 kcal per cup.
All three share the same functional formulation: glucosamine, chondroitin, eight probiotic strains and omega-3.

“Millie's 11, and the last time we switched her food it took a month to get her right again. So I wasn't in a hurry to do it again. Mixed it in slow like they say and kept waiting for trouble. There wasn't any. She just eats it. 2 months now.”

“We're at agility trials most weekends. Feeding her on the road used to mean hauling a cooler around the whole trip. Now the bag just rides in the truck and I get hot water from the hotel lobby. Scout couldn't care less where she is.”

“We tried raw for a month. Remembering to pull it out to defrost on time got to be too much. This just sits in the cabinet, and Gus likes it more anyway.”

“Hank's had a touchy stomach for 6 years. Foods either went right through him or he quit eating them after a week. 2 months on this one and he likes it. No issues so far.”

“Writing this because I went looking for a review like this two years ago and couldn't find one. Bruno scratched all the time. Vet visits, the shampoos, the cone. Around week six my husband asked when the scratching stopped and neither of us knew. Can't say for sure it was the food, but nothing else changed.”
