The benefit of commercial kibble dog food is convenience - simply scoop and serve. Unfortunately, commercial kibble dog food is highly processed and often contains artificial preservatives, colors, flavorings and by-products that are hard to digest and over time can cause your canine companion to be more susceptible to long term health problems.Commercial kibble is cooked, extruded and baked at such high temperatures that it destroys many of the nutrients.Commercial kibble dog foods not only harbor harmful toxins, they are also stripped of much of their nutrient value, becoming a “dead” food product.Unfortunately, many well intentioned consumers who want to give their pet a high quality commercial diet choose to buy expensive, “grain free” kibbles, with claims of all natural – or even organic – ingredients, believing they are purchasing a more nutritious pet food.But the fact is, even if these kibbles contain high quality ingredients with no preservatives, fillers or additives, they are still going through a cooking process which ultimately nullifies much of the nutritional value these quality ingredients would have contributed.The kibble is left with proteins that have been denatured, enzymes that are rendered inactive, and any natural, beneficial microflora (good bacteria) are no longer viable.These components are all extremely important and provide a synergistic effect for the complete digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients from the food.
