Deep dives

The Dangers of Kibble

Kibble is highly processed, cooked at extreme temperatures, and contains carcinogenic compounds known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These AGEs are formed during high-heat processing, raising concerns about health risks, including inflammation and various chronic diseases. Research shows that levels of AGEs in kibble can be significantly higher than those found in processed human foods. This process makes kibble not only unhealthy but also unreliable as a nutritionally adequate diet for dogs.
