I'm planning several multi-day walking trips this year. Who makes the best freeze dried meals? I normally take fresh but that will be too heavy on this occasion as I have to carry the dogs food as well!

....I have to carry the dogs food as well!
Get some carry pouches and make the hounds carry their own
The best I have had are made by westlers,the people who make the issue ratpack meals.I've tried lots of different manufacturers but I prefer these.
They are marketed under various names ,go-pack being the most known.They are always on ebay or you can google expedition foods.
Have a look here

Drytech Rations - http://www.drytech.no/?page_id=44
Bought them when the Norweigan Army Rations were used up on the Telemark Trip. IIRC, Same meals but in an orange packet instead of Green.

Who did you buy them from Martin? I can't see any English suppliers on their websites
Dog food it aint that bad [evil grin].... but why is the dog not carrying his/her own food?

I think the Norwegian packs can be had from a place near Quimper in Brest. Group buy? I could go by that way sometime on my way back from the south with a van.
As long as wolf fish is available I'm in Ged

They seem to have made a impression with you, were they miles better than anything else you have tried??
TeeDee, yep, on the Telemark trip, Cliff and I took 3 different types of rations, for me the Norweigan Army ones were the best, more than a normal portion and the taste was exceptional. The Turmat ones are the civilian version and just as good.
There are a few makes around but these are IMHO very good...............................http://www.ruffwear.com/dog_packs
Another vote for the Norgie rat packs, super stuff.
If you go in Tesco, Poundstretcher, B&M they all sell Vesta dried meals for £1 each, curry and rissoto are about the best of them but they need to cook for about 15 mins or boil and pop in a Thermos flask to finish cooking in their own heat; for a quid you don't get gourmet food but they are not bad at all for camping.
