Raw handling
Raw, bone in, freeze-dried: our frog legs plainly
Updated
Are freeze dried frog legs raw? Ours are: each leg is freeze-dried raw with the bone in and nothing added, in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Raw means the FDA's raw pet food handling applies: wash your hands and clean up after you handle one. The listing names medium and large adult dogs and asks you to watch them eat.
What does freeze-dried raw mean for a frog leg?
It means the leg was raw before it was freeze-dried. The bag holds one ingredient, frog legs, with no grains, fillers or preservatives. The frog legs are imported, and the freeze-drying happens in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with nothing added.
That is as far as the description goes. We do not list process steps, because we have none to give beyond raw and freeze-dried. What you get is a medium-sized piece whose shape changes from one leg to the next. The listing says it plainly: this is a leg, not a molded biscuit.
Is the bone still in the leg?
Yes. Our frog legs are bone in. The listing itself does not mention the bone; that part comes from us. It is a fact about the product, and a buyer should hear it before the bag arrives.
We make no other statement about the bone, and we are not going to invent one. What the listing does ask is simple: keep water out for the dog at all times, and watch while it eats. That holds for every bag we make, bone or no bone.
How do you handle a raw frog leg at home?
Every leg in the bag counts as raw pet food. The FDA, raw pet food diets page (opened 2026-10-16) boils the job down to two steps: hands get washed after touching raw pet food, and whatever it sat on gets cleaned and disinfected. That applies to our frog legs because they are raw. The frog legs listing has no washing line of its own, so the routine below comes from us and the FDA page.
- Wash your hands after you handle a leg.
- Clean the surface and the bowl it touched.
- Reseal the bag when you are done.
- Keep the bag where it stays cool and dry.
Which dogs is the bag listed for?
The listing names medium and large adult dogs, and when it is asked about small dogs it gives the same answer. The small-dog question has its own page, frog legs for small dogs, so we will not repeat it here.
For the dogs it does name, the listing offers a few ways to use a leg. Feed it whole, break it into smaller pieces to suit the dog, or break one apart and sprinkle it over food. On our scorecard the crunch rates 4 of 5 and the training value 3 of 5. The bag is a reward or a topper, not a meal. Frog legs are a dog product, and we do not suggest them for cats.
Does raw change storage or the best-by date?
No new rules. The listing calls the bag shelf stable and asks you to reseal it after use and keep it somewhere cool and dry. On dates, every bag we make carries a printed best-by date that we set 1 year from production. After a bag is opened, we ask that it be used inside 30 days and kept cool, dry and well sealed. Both numbers are ours, not the listing's.
You can see the bag on the frog legs for dogs page, and the rest of our writing on the range is gathered on the guides hub.
Questions
Are the frog legs cooked before drying?
No. The frog legs are freeze-dried raw, with nothing added. We do not describe any other step in how they are made, so there is no cooking stage to report. What stays the same on every leg is the bone, which is still in.
Can I break a bone-in leg into training bits?
The listing says to break a piece up and hand out the bits, or break one apart and sprinkle it over food. Our scorecard gives the legs 3 of 5 for training value. We offer no view on any bone piece, and you should supervise while the dog eats.
Are frog legs one of the cat bags?
No. We list frog legs for dogs, and they are not among the bags we suggest for cats. The listing names medium and large adult dogs, and that is the whole audience we have written for.
Does the box carry the same raw frog legs?
Yes. The frog legs in the Exotic Collection Box are this same bag, sold alongside baby octopus, scallops and quail eggs. The box is a dog product. Each bag inside has its own best-by date and its own 30 days once opened.
My dog eats to a vet plan. Can I add raw frog legs?
Ask your veterinarian first. The listing says that if your dog is on a plan, your veterinarian is the one to say what fits. A bag of frog legs is a treat or a topper, and it sits beside the regular food.
Is there a boneless version for small dogs?
No. There is one frog legs bag, it is bone in, and it is listed for medium and large adult dogs. If a small dog is the reason you are asking, the small-dog page covers what the listing says.
