I don't understand how processed pellets could possibly be healthier for animals than fruits, veggies and meat (depending on whether they're herbivores, carnivores or omnivores).
I can maybe understand supplementing with pellets for certain types of animals who are maybe evolved for more exotic foods, but I don't see how feeding your dog synthesized and processed foods is could possibly be healthier than feeding them real food appropriate for the animal.
We all know that highly processed foods are horrible for humans and I'm pretty sure I've read about health problems that pets suffer due to their diets and I can easily imagine and entire industry based around the lie that you can only feed your animals certain products.
Is the pet food industry a scam?
