The ingredients are freeze dried prior to being ground up, mixed with water, formed, and cooked to be crunchy. You really don’t have to soak the food, but it wouldn’t hurt anything. I do it every now and then for my guys. I soak just long enough for the kibbles to get soft. I’ll put some water in, stir it up, and let it sit till the water is all absorbed. If the food is still crunchy, I add some more water and stir again. How much water I use depends on how well the brand holds water.
