There are numerous issues associated with kibble feeding. Listed below is just few of those.

• Kibble is processed multiple times at extremely high temperatures effectively killing valuable vitamins and enzymes which then have to be replaced with synthetic substances.
• Stabilisers, preservatives and gelling agents are needed to keep kibble shelf stable
• It is unlikely that manufacturers would know where the meat meal came from originally
• Kibble needs to be coloured so it looks palatable
• Kibble does not store well and can go rancid quickly
• Mites can be transferred from the grain to the food, causing infection
