Unlike most other dry foods that are rapidly extruded during the manufacturing process, Old Mother Hubbard slowly oven bakes its Wellness Super5Mix foods and treats to preserve and enrich the nutrients, and to enhance the aroma. Wellness does not contain any rendered animal fats, meat by-products, wheat, corn or white rice and also does not contain any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives of any kind.


So, what is really the deal with extruded vs. baked
I was not abble to fnd alot of info about this
