Is Dry Dog Food Safe?

The production of dog food by extrusion is the most common process. 90% of all dog food is produced by extrusion. No matter what ingredients are on the packaging, organic, free-range, vegan or insect, everything is first mixed into a kind of dough during extrusion, kneaded and then pressed through a die at high pressure and high temperatures and moulded into the desired pellet shape. Extrusion is the most cost-effective way of producing dog food, as large quantities can be produced in a short time.

Understanding Dry Food Production

During extrusion, raw materials that are difficult for dogs to digest, such as carbohydrate residues, starch and animal meal, need processing. This is because only these lead to a hardenable mass that forms an extrudate under high pressure and temperature. Modern extrusion processes allow a maximum of 30% fresh raw materials to be added. It is not possible to extrude only fresh ingredients, as these would not stick together. The output product is then dry kibble with a limited fresh ingredient content, low nutrients and a primarily artificial flavour. Fats as flavourings and artificial vitamins are sprayed onto the chunks after production. The frequent consequences of feeding extrusion dry food can be allergies, poor digestion, an intense odour in the coat and often all kinds of diseases triggered by it.

The Fidelis Difference

Fidelis fresh menus are free from any additives and contain a high natural nutrient content. They smell and taste like real food because they are made with real food! Gentle cooking helps retain nutrients, eliminating the need for artificial vitamins commonly found in dry food. Fidelis believes fresh food offers a more natural and potentially healthier option for your dog. While dry food can be convenient, fresh food provides a more complete and balanced diet that may lead to improved digestion, a healthier coat, and overall well-being for your furry friend.
