Why Oven-Baked dog food from LIFE4K9? We have spent years researching the method to create the healthiest dog food. We discovered that besides using ultra low-grade ingredients and unwholesome fillers such as wheat, soy and corn, most dog food companies use the extruded method to cook kibble. Extruding dog food is cooking it at extremely high temperatures for a few seconds with hot steam to produce kibble. Then to make this unpalatable food edible, grease and fats (ick!) are added so dogs will be interested in consuming it. Ever wonder why dog bowls and dog food bags are slimy and lined with grease? Where's the nutrition in those other dogfoods? If you consumed fried rice each day your entire life you would have allergies and health issues which plague our beloved pets at an alarming rate. You've paid thousands of dollars on vet bills for steroids shots, drugs, Benadryl, cortizone shots, etc and learned the hard way, It's not just about ingredients but how "ya cook it." Consumers are guilty of buying dog food "that tastes good" and is cheaper, but it is really not about nutrition. Other dog food brands can brag about being free-range, organic, no corn.. but the end result is how you cook it with those ingredients. Extruded is cheaper, both in price AND quality. With Oven-Baked dog food, the kibble and its ingredients are mixed together, along with real human-grade real chicken or lamb, and baked at 350° for about 30 minutes. Just like how we bake our own meals! Oven-baking produces a healthier kibble by baking out the naturally-occurring oils. Our ingredients are of the highest quality as well, notably human-grade quality. Sweet Potatoes, Barley, Dried Yucca, Rosemary, and Sage are a few of our wholesome ingredients in our formulas. It's important to buy US dog food using only US-sourced ingredients. LIFE4K9 is subject to the rules and regulations set by over 50 Departments of Agriculture, USDA, FDA.. etc. Other brand dog foods sourced from other countries are not regulated like a US company. Made in the USA foods follow higher standards and more restrictive processes ensuring the highest quality in both safety and taste. Yes, most dog foods are cheaper, but honestly we found you will pay more in medical bills throughout your pet's life by feeding low-grade, poorly processed dog foods. Do not compromise your loved one's quality of life! Our reason for naming our company LIFE4K9, was the promise to formulate wholesome and healthful recipes for the entire LIFE of our pets. We ask that you not just shop for proper ingredients but come full circle with LIFE4K9 Oven-Baked dog food and get on the path of good nutrition. We're so confident you will see a healthier and happier pet, we guarantee our entire product line!
