Why dehydrated
New to 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.
- 01 · Gently dehydrated
- Low-temperature drying instead of high-heat extrusion.
- 02 · Not raw
- No raw handling, no thawing, no freezer.
- 03 · A warm meal
- Add warm water and it turns back into food you can see and smell.
“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.”

Offer detailsThe first bowl
Real food looks, smells, and serves differently.
Ember is whole food, gently dehydrated, then ground to a gentle crumble — a texture that rehydrates in minutes and serves easily.
Choose one 2 lb sampler bag: Chicken, Beef or Salmon.

Chicken
A clean, mild protein. A good starting point for most dogs, particularly those new to whole food.
445 kcal per cup

Beef
Rich, deeply flavored. Suited to dogs who prefer a stronger protein profile.
439 kcal per cup

Salmon
A fish-forward recipe for variety and rotation across the range.
390 kcal per cup
What to expect
- The texture and smell of real food — noticeably different from kibble.
- A warm, hearty bowl in minutes — add more or less water to reach the consistency your dog prefers, from a thick stew to a soft, chunky porridge.
- A gradual transition is encouraged for dogs new to whole food.
The plan builder uses your dog's current size and usual routine to suggest a feeding starting point and bag size.
