About Sojos
Sojos makes freeze-dried raw pet food that is rehydrated with water before serving, a format aimed at owners who want raw feeding without handling fresh meat. It sits in WellPet's specialty portfolio. Freeze-drying removes water without heat, which is what allows the food to be sold shelf-stable while still counting as raw.
