This unique drying process preserves essential nutrients without freezing or refrigeration, offering significant benefits over air-dried or dehydrated pet foods in terms of freshness and bioavailable nutrition. Everyday Raw Anywhere can be sprinkled over food as a topper or served as a complete, balanced meal by adding water. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 39% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nutrient-preserving Pet Foods:** The adoption of innovative drying technologies allows pet foods to maintain high nutrient levels, providing a competitive edge over traditional preservation methods. - **Sustainable Pet Food Manufacturing:** The shift towards reducing carbon emissions in pet food production represents a significant advancement in eco-friendly industry practices. - **Cannabis-derived Technologies:** Technological advancements originally developed for the cannabis industry are being repurposed to enhance product quality in the pet food market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Food Industry:** The introduction of GentleDry technology marks a transformative moment in the pet food sector, allowing for more nutritious and sustainable product options. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The focus on carbon emission reduction in raw pet food highlights the potential for innovation in creating climate-friendly packaging solutions. - **Food Preservation Technology:** Emerging techniques adapted from the cannabis sector underline an industry shift towards more effective preservation methods that extend beyond conventional food products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air-Dried Cat Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redbarn.md) - [Human-Grade Air-Dried Dog Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-moon-pure-protein.md) - [Freeze-Dried Dog Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kibble-in-the-raw.md) - [Minimally Processed Dog Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldpressed-dog-food.md) - [Freeze-Dried Pet Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezedried-pet-food.md) - [Hybrid Dog Food Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rawmix50.md) - [Air-Dried Canine Nutrition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lone-wolf-ranch-pets.md) - [Dehydrated Whole Food Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-food-mixer.md) - [Micro-Steamed Pet Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steam-dried-pet-food.md)
