In fact, the cooked grains in commercial diets provide an array of beneficial nutrients to the diet including vitamins, minerals, and fibre.Puppies (up to when they’re 12 months old) require a little more protein to support their growing muscles and the right balance of calcium and phosphorus for developing bones and teeth. Food or dietary intolerance – This occurs when something in the food doesn’t agree with the animal’s body but does not trigger the immune system to react. For example, a dog may not be able to digest cow’s milk well. Kibble can be made via two manufacturing processes – either by cold-pressed extrusion, or thermal extrusion. Cold pressed kibble or nuggets are made at lower temperatures using high pressure to bind the ingredients together. Nuggets made via thermal extrusion are cooked at higher temperatures. So, whether you’re looking for sensitive puppy food, sensitive food for adult dogs or sensitive food for senior dogs, remember that a dog’s nutritional needs vary throughout their life.
