My bag has more broken bits and fine powder at the bottom than my normal kibble. Can I feed that to my pup?Updated 6 months ago
Yes, you can (and should) feed the broken bits and Petaluma powder at the bottom of your bag or storage container. They are equally as nutritious as the whole pieces and most dogs will lick them clean.
The baking process results in more broken and irregular pieces than traditional pressure-cooked kibble. The baking process preserves more complex carbohydrates, whereas pressure-cooking ‘gelatinizes’ all of the starches and creates very strong bonds that prevent crumbling. While the baked bites don’t hold together quite as tightly (by design), they also have a lower glycemic index and result in a more gradual absorption of energy into the bloodstream.
