WHY OVEN BAKED?

With LIFE4K9, the kibble and its ingredients are mixed together, along with the chicken or lamb, then baked at 350° F for about 30 minutes. Just like baking our own meals! Our ingredients are of the highest quality as well. Sweet potatoes, barley, dried yucca, rosemary, and sage are a few of the wholesome ingredients in our formulas.

Don't compromise your loved one's quality of life! Our reason for naming our company LIFE4K9 was the promise to formulate wholesome and healthful recipes for the entire LIFE of our pets. We're so confident you will see a healthier and happier pet, we guarantee our entire product line!

Our baked process is as follows:

  • Dry ingredients are added to the mixer, where liquid ingredients such as oil, fresh meat and water are added
  • The ingredients are mixed under ambient conditions until a cohesive dough is formed
  • The dough is passed through two rollers to form a sheet
  • The sheet is pressed against a die to form kibble shapes or biscuits
  • The product is conveyed to an oven, where it is baked at 350° F for about 30 minutes
  • The baked product is conveyed to the dryer, bringing it to 10% to 12% moisture level
  • Product is cooled to room temperature

The baking process results in what we call a "caramelizing" effect. The browning of meat and other ingredients gives it a savory flavor, enhancing the palatability of the product.
