I was watching a movie last night in which a couple went to a Japanese restaurant. It was one of the places where the chef cooked everything right in front of you. I often wish that we could see up close and personal exactly what goes into all our food and our dogs' food. 

Well, if you feed your dog Hill's Ideal Balance™ Crafted® pet foods, you will actually know specifically what is in it. All of Hill's products are made in the U.S. from only natural ingredients with no corn, wheat, or soy, which is something most dog owners seek out when purchasing food. In addition, their cooking process is clear, slow, and wholesome.

Like me, the parents of picky eaters will appreciate that. Our black lab, Django, is nearly as finicky as a cat! 

So many considerations were made when developing this new food:

—Texture: New cooking processes, such oven roasting dog dry kibble were employed

—Cooking Process: Since not mass produced, the process can be managed with more attention and care to lock in flavor and nutrition

— Wet Food: New technology implemented on the wet food helped to deliver forms and textures (such as shredded in gravy-like human stir fry)

—Key Word-Slow!: A slower, small batch process ensures quality and consistency

Since writing about this new dog food, family, friends, and readers have asked me exactly how it’s cooked, so here is the low-down.

For the oven-roasted dry dog food and treats, once the dough is rolled out, each kibble is carefully cut out and looked over to make sure they’re just right. These special kibbles are then baked at 400 degrees until they’re cooked just right.

The wet dog food is gently cooked and the meat, gravy, and vegetables are mixed into a delicious stew. Then it’s canned and slow-cooked at 250 degrees to lock in flavor and nutrition. Years of taste research ensure the taste of each bite.

Thinking about trying some? The folks at Hills Science are sponsoring a giveaway for a $300 gift card to a Pet Specialty Store (PetSmart). The giveaway ends June 30th. Just click here to enter!
