¿What is Air-dried?
Air-dried SUPERFOOD is not just a new product, it's a new way of understanding natural nutrition.
Hobbitalf®'s complete Air-dried SUPERFOOD diet brings together the best of both worlds:
The naturalness of the BARF philosophy and the practicality of dry food.
How do we make our air-dried menus?
We grind all the ingredients (fresh meats and fish, fruits and vegetables) and mix in superfoods to complete a delicious natural diet.
We place the substantial food on a baking tray and slowly air-dry it in a single oven. This helps preserve its pleasant and savory flavor, so there's no need to add any additives.
We let it cool and make sure it has the right moisture level, so that your dog and/or cat gets all the nutrients it needs for a complete and balanced diet.
We cut the air-dried food into digestible pieces so your dog and/or cat can enjoy it safely and happily!

Frequently Asked Questions about Air-dried SUPERFOOD
What does it mean for food to be air-dried?
Air-dried is a low-temperature air-drying process used for fresh ingredients such as meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and superfoods. These ingredients are chopped and mixed while fresh and then processed in our ovens through a slow and controlled drying process.
Before drying, the formulation is equivalent to a BARF diet due to its fresh and natural composition. After the air-dried process, a stable, safe, and highly nutritious food is obtained that retains most of the original nutrients, making it one of the most advanced forms of natural feeding for dogs and cats.
How does it differ from traditional feed or wet food?
The main difference lies in the texture, nutritional density, and digestibility.
Air-dried food has a much more appealing texture and significantly superior palatability compared to traditional dry food. Being up to four times more nutrient-dense, it provides more nutrients in smaller quantities, reducing the digestive load and promoting better nutrient absorption.
The air-dried process preserves essential nutrients better than other cooking methods, improving the bioavailability of the ingredients. Furthermore, it can be stored at room temperature without refrigeration, and once opened, it is recommended to consume it within 30 days to maintain its optimal freshness.
Is it a complete or complementary food?
Air-dried Superfood is a complete food. It is formulated following FEDIAF nutritional guidelines and meets all the necessary guarantees to continuously cover the daily nutritional needs of dogs and cats.
Is it suitable for dogs and cats of all ages?
Yes, provided the appropriate menu is chosen according to the life stage. All our formulas are specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of each stage, from puppies to adults and seniors, contributing to a high level of well-being.
How do I know how much to give my pet?
On each air-dried menu's product page, you'll find the recommended feeding guide. It's common for pets to eat more than usual during the first few days due to the product's high palatability.
After an adaptation period of 5 to 7 days, the dog usually self-regulates and consumes only the amount it needs. In most cases, this amount is less than what it would get with traditional dry food, due to the higher nutritional density of air-dried food.
How should I transition to air-dried food?
If you are coming from a traditional dry food diet, the transition to air-dried superfood usually takes place over a period of 3 to 5 days, gradually mixing both foods.
If the transition is from a BARF diet, the process is usually even simpler from a digestive standpoint, as the bioavailability of the ingredients is similar. In this case, the main adjustment involves scaling up the portion, since air-dried food has an approximate 4:1 ratio of fresh to dry ingredients. The digestive system needs a smaller quantity to achieve the same or even higher energy levels.
How should I store the product once opened?
Once opened, the product should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and possible pests, keeping the container tightly closed or using an airtight container.
Is it safe for pets with allergies or sensitivities?
Our menus are complete and suitable for healthy dogs and cats. They are not a substitute for veterinary advice. In case of allergies, sensitivities, or specific health conditions, we recommend consulting your trusted veterinarian beforehand.
If you need it, you can contact us and we will forward your query to our team of veterinarians to answer your questions.
