In this episode I talk about the negative health aspect of commercial kibbles for our pets, with a focus on the impact of the processing method itself. 

Unfortunately, the majority of pets consume a kibble-based diet that’s gone through the extrusion process, which is highly destructive from a nutritional standpoint. But what’s perhaps more concerning is that the extrusion process also leads to the formation of toxic compounds such as acrylamide and advanced glycation end-products, which have been linked to a wide variety of disease states in both people and pets.

So join me to learn how these toxic compounds are formed, which foods contain the highest amounts and some simple strategies that you can start doing today to lessen the burden on your pet.
