Akela kibble is extruded with a Thermal Twin extruder using the lowest temperatures possible; producing more digestible foods without the nutrient degradation that can be seen at high temperature processing. The extrusion and drying processes do not use very high temperatures – just over 90 degrees centigrade (the minimum for safety reasons) and under 180 degrees centigrade - this is lower than you would cook a pizza at! This means that proteins stay highly digestible and natural vitamins and minerals survive the process better. Some ingredients are added after extrusion too - for example all vitamin levels stated in the nutritional additive section are added after cooking to guarantee minimum levels.

We had no problems with the changeover from their old food- no dodge tummy etc.
They absolutely love their food and hoover it up instantly.
Poo is now very small and easy to pick up and coats are beautifully shiny.
I will be raising the puppy on this food too, and it's a big plus they can all have the same food. (Posted on 08/07/2015) - Caught by the price, kept by the quality! Review by Kerry

I needed a high quality dry food that was produced in small biscuits, and in most brands they seem to penalise you for this by having expensive 3 and 5kg sacks! I have 5 dogs I don't want 5kg!
Usually choosing the next food to try is an arduous process, but literally I saw this brand and simply bought it, high meat, grain free, small biscuits, affordable, free-run chicken and eggs, ticked all the boxes.
The food arrived within 24 hours even though I chose the cheapest delivery, it was well packaged and I was happy to note was in a resealable bag!
It smelled and looked good and I tried it with my fussiest girl who won't put anything in her mouth bigger than a child's pinkie finger nail, and she demolished the bowl! - Very happy customer :-) Obviously enthusiasm has diminished over the past 6 weeks however all 5 still eat it happily.
The food was a very easy transition, they were all on it within the week and their stomachs are quite settled on it. I don't get any unpleasant aromas in the house or difficult the clean up surprises in the garden.
Time will tell whether Lilly's itchy skin and weight problems are solved but I have seen improvement in my other dogs and I have high hopes! (Posted on 06/07/2015) - Fab! Review by POTBURY

I ordered a 1.5kg bag to try him on. He LOVES it, cannot get enough of it. He 'wolfs!' It down and looks for more! It looks like I am giving him less compared to his previous food (which he would only eat if there was nothing else on offer) but I think this is due to the purity and quality of the ingredients and the lack of 'filler'.
I feel safe in the knowledge that my pup is having a food that he loves and is great for him!
Have just ordered a 10 kg bag which should last a good 2 months.
Excellent all round. Thank you for Akela! (Posted on 29/06/2015) - Winner Review by Jess
