The composition of animal flours is not always the same, and this results in different quality: there are worse flours and better flours, distinguished by degree of purity. The long boiling causes the separation of the fatty part, which forms a layer on top this will be removed and set aside, as it is intended for a different use (used as appetizers and flavor enhancers).Īnything left over will then be subjected to drying, resulting in a product with a floury texture, very little moisture and rich in low-quality poor protein: this will be the main component of dry feeds. What is obtained from this first stage is then boiled at a high temperature for a considerable time, ranging from a few hours to a few days, until it is reduced to a pulpy-looking liquid mixture.



These meals are derived from the mincing of meat and bones from farm animals with a special grinder, which reduces all components into very small parts. This yields different types of meals used in industrial kibble, such as those made from chicken meat (chicken, poultry and by-product meals), beef or pork, to which the bone part is sometimes added thus, so-called " Meat and bone meal" ( MBM) is obtained. The preparation of dry feeds involves the use of raw materials that undergo a great deal of processing and are considerably processed at the industrial level this causes the finished product to be quite different from the starting ingredients. There is also a much healthier, biologically species-appropriate natural diet, without additives and preservatives, such as the food we use in our kennel, which respects the dog's health and nature. To understand this better, before we address this important topic, there is no one brand better than another, there is no best kibble maybe the least worst but still what I want to explain and that applies to all brands (even famous and expensive ones) are an unnatural food for the dog or cat due to the high temperature production process, the poor quality raw materials and the large amount of chemical or technological additives and preservatives used. So let's go over specifically what are the reasons why we should never feed our four-legged friend extruded kibble. Their continued consumption, moreover, even risks endangering their mental and physical well-being. Of course, this choice hides many negative aspects, which should not be underestimated: in most cases, industrial kibble does not turn out to be the best option for feeding our dogs or cats, as it is far from being a balanced, healthy and quality meal. Industrial kibble may seem to be a very convenient and practical solution for those who are busy with work or are unable to prepare a complete home meal for their dog or cat on their own, however, it hides many dangers and is, unfortunately, one of the main causes of disease in dogs and cats.īy now the net is flooded with hundreds of brand names, all emphasizing miraculous qualities and properties, lots of different foods with the most disparate and expensive prices, but if one were to go and read the composition stated on the labels something doesn't add up.

10.1 So what are the best foods for our four-legged friends?
