Is adding water to dry food unhealthy?

Great Life food
Just bought some and I think I am liking it. Ingredients look awesome, except for the fact that the first ingredient is salmon instead of salmon meal. I may have read somewhere where the salmon is freeze dried, and that might make a difference, don't know. Anyone else try it?
