Always know what’s in the bowl
Here is the part nobody prints on the bag: kibble is cooked at temperatures high enough to destroy much of its own nutrition. What survives is sprayed back on as a coating — so that ingredient list you trusted describes what went into the oven, not what your dog is actually eating.
And this isn’t a once-in-a-while mistake. It’s every meal, twice a day, for years — the single biggest input in your dog’s life, quietly hollowed out before it reaches the bowl. The itchy skin, the dull coat, the early slowing-down owners describe to me? This is where I start looking.
Air-drying skips the destructive step entirely: developed with vet nutritionists, minimally processed, no fillers, no synthetic preservatives. For once, the label is the meal.
