The rise and rise of kibble
Kibble is the dried and pelleted dog food that you can buy in packets and sacks from pet shops and online. It is a relatively recent invention, yet within a few years of its arrival, many of the UK’s dog owners were happy converts. Kibble was a much more convenient way to feed our dogs.
No more struggling with can openers and sharp tin lids, or thawing out blocks of smelly whale meat.
No more staggering back to the car with half a hundredweight of canned dog food in your shopping trolley each week, and no more worrying about how much dog biscuit to mix with the contents of each tin. The vast majority of dogs in the UK are now fed on kibble, and for a long time very few people questioned whether or not this was a good thing.
More recently, the effect that this shift away from wet food and onto dried food has had on canine health (if any) has become the subject of intense speculation. It is not possible to own a dog for very long without coming across the raw versus kibble debate.
