IMHO yes, I think it is a little more work for your dog to digest it because the cold absorbs heat from their body, but I feed my dog about equally frozen and thawed. He tends to overeat the thawed and throw up more, but frozen he has to chew so it keeps him from eating to quickly, which is a benefit. There was once that he had a big frozen meal and he came to me shivering because his body temperature had dropped, which is definitely in the con section, but I don’t think most dogs are so delicate that it is going to give them issues. I think partially frozen is fine. Sometimes I will put out his next meal to thaw in the fridge when he is eating his last meal, which is a decent way to keep track of it and make sure it has time to thaw. But the overall point I am trying to make is that I don’t think it makes that much difference, especially if it is only a couple of times a week and partially frozen. Here at Steve’s Real Food we don’t worry about it at all.
