One way I could tell a difference in extruded and baked is the shape of the food. Flint River Ranch is the only food I've ever given mine that I know was baked and it had odd shaped pieces. By the way, my dogs LOVED FRR, but got very fat when eating it! It was too rich for my couch potatoes!
I have heard of FRR food and had it book marked as one of my favorites...so i just checked out the website again. The ingredients are very similiar to the Chicken Soup for a Dog Lovers Soul...here is a look at the CSFADLS ingredients:

Fresh, Pure, Wholesome Ingredients

Chicken, turkey, chicken meal, turkey meal, whole grain brown rice, whole grain white rice, oatmeal, potatoes, cracked pearled barley, millet, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), duck, salmon, egg product, flaxseed, natural chicken flavor, kelp, carrots, peas, apples, dried skim milk, cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley flake, potassium chloride, salt, choline chloride, chicory root extract, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, menadione dimethylpyrimidinol bisulfite (source of vitamin K activity), riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic acid.

As far as this being extruded, i am not sure...the website says it is slow cooked...which to me, may sound like baking...anyway, i think it sounds great and i really appreciate your friend for doing such a great job on that website! I think i may switch my cats over to this brand too!
