Yes, you can (and should) feed the broken bits and Petaluma powder at the bottom of your bag or storage container.They are equally as nutritious as the whole pieces and most dogs will lick them clean.The baking process results in more broken and irregular pieces than traditional pressure-cooked kibble. The baking process preserves more complex carbohydrates, whereas pressure-cooking ‘gelatinizes’ all of the starches and creates very strong bonds. While the baked bites don’t hold together quite as tightly, they also have a lower glycemic index and result in more gradual absorption of energy during digestion.
