At Penelope’s we believe kibble is an excellent, healthy alternative to raw meals for the following reasons:
- Nutritional Balance: Our kibble is carefully formulated to provide a well-balanced diet with the right proportions of protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, tailored to the specific needs of small breeds. This is something we can measure easily in kibble, but isn’t as easy to monitor in raw foods.
- Dental Health: Our small kibble is designed to promote dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup. The act of chewing kibble can also contribute to good oral hygiene in small breed dogs, who can be more prone to dental issues.
- Safety: Our kibble undergoes a gentle cooking process that helps eliminate harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses compared to raw diets, which can pose bacterial contamination risks.
- Digestibility: Our kibble is specially designed for optimal digestibility, which is important for small breeds with sensitive digestive systems and allergen sensitivities.
- Convenience: Penelope’s is convenient and easy to store, handle, and feed. It eliminates the need for preparation associated with raw diets and allows for precise portion control.
