What's the big deal about kibble :
Kibble, or dry dog food, is made through a process called extrusion. Raw ingredients, including meat, bone, grains, and vegetables, are ground and mixed into a dough or paste. This mixture is then cooked under high pressure and heat in a machine called an extruder, shaping it into pellets. These pellets are then dried, cooled, and coated with flavors and preservatives to enhance palatability and shelf life. This is the process.. No Matter the ingredients or manufacturer. If your food looks like brown pressed pellets, it went through this process. Would you want to eat that every day of your life..... twice a day ? We can do better !!
REAL FOOD
If the food is able to sit on a shelf at room temperature, or in a hot car for hours or days, it does not sound the least but appetizing . We go to extra care to feed our family the best we can. Why not your best friend ?
BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE
Canines are facultative carnivores. Meat is their primary source of protein. Our dogs closest relative is the wild Dingo in Australia. Their droppings have been studied. The Wolves at Yellowstone National Park just concluded a years long study on wolf poop. Both species eat more than just protein. They need more variations of food for proper growth, health and coat maintenance than obligate carnivores. Obligate carnivores like cats need only animal meat. Flesh ,bone and organ. No fruits, vegetables grains or seeds. Dogs need different vitamins and minerals. A dog should feed on a diet of 70% protein 10% bone or bone minerals,10% secreting organ meat and the last 10% should be COMBINED cruciferous veg, HEALTHY grain and dark skinned fruits. This is their biological nutrition. The next time you look at your kibble bag. Notice the crude protein percentage is way less than 70%.
Education: The More You Know
I believe education is key to anything. The more you know, the more you can make the best decision you can. In my book Chicken and Rice Isn't Good Enough, I go into the different diet styles (B.AR.F. PMR ), freeze dried, dehydrated, commercial fresh. Home made and commercial raw as well. Just because you can't pronounce it doesn't ALWAYS mean its bad. Canines have certain macro and micro nutrients dogs need. Dogs and humans have been living together for 36 thousand years. Domestic dogs ate the parts of the food that the humans did not want. Over the centuries different dog breeds had different tasks but they all needed the same nutrients.
Meat Meals
Whole animals ARE NOT raised for animal feed. At least I have not found one yet in this country. When farm animals are taken to slaughter for food, the cuts that will be sold to butchers and grocery are first removed by pretty skilled workers with great knife skills. Whatever meat is left is mechanically separated from the bones for cold cuts and processed meat products (those yummy chicken nuggets anyone ?? ) What is then left is "condemned for human consumption and thrown onto a "hopper" to grind together for meat meal. It is mixed with water and other stuff to make into a dough or paste. That paste is then heat pressed and cooked at high temperature with its added synthetic ( or natural) vitamins and flavors. Then pressed through and extruder and sprayed with some appetizing flavoring, packaged and sent to the warehouse to sit for who knows how long before you get it. It does not matter what price, company, brand or manufacturer food you purchase. If it comes in little brown pellets that is how it is made. The two governing agencies that oversee animal feed in America are the FDA ( Food and Drug Administration) and AACFO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) I have linked their document here. https://www.aafco.org/consumers/understanding-pet-food/natural/
As you may read, their bar is VERY low.
I prefer to follow the NRC (National Research Council) regulations

Frequently Asked Questions
Thanks to Precision Pet Nutrition and Stacey I was able to transition my dog off a kibble diet on to a healthier more nutritious diet.

"
One of my dogs was suffering from allergies, so I posted several questions in a group. Precision Pet Nutrition was quick to answer all my questions and concerns about how to help my dog. I have a much better understanding of how to prepare and feed a healthy diet and how it will improve my dog’s overall wellbeing.
My dog and I greatly appreciate all the information and advice she has provided.
