FAQs
What is cold pressed dog food?
Cold pressed dog food is made using a gentle method that presses ingredients at lower temperatures (around 45°C) compared to traditional kibble, which is extruded at much higher heat. This helps retain more natural nutrients, flavour, and aroma from the raw ingredients.
What are the benefits of cold pressed dog food?
- Higher nutrient retention – Gentle pressing keeps vitamins and minerals intact
- Easier digestion – The food breaks down naturally in your dog’s stomach
- Denser, less processed – You often feed smaller portions compared to kibble
- Great taste – Most dogs love the natural aroma and texture
How is cold pressed food different from dry kibble?
Traditional kibble is cooked under high pressure and temperature, which can reduce nutrient levels. Cold pressed food, on the other hand, is gently pressed without steam or high heat. The result is a dense, crumbly pellet that breaks down quickly in the stomach rather than swelling, helping with digestion and reducing bloating.
Can I mix cold pressed food with raw or wet food?
Yes! Cold pressed food can be safely mixed with raw or wet diets. Although our cold pressed food is a complete food designed so you don’t have to mix it. It digests at a similar rate to raw food, unlike traditional kibble which can digest much slower. Don’t forget that most wet foods are high heated, so you run the risk of adding harmful chemicals into your dogs diet and you won’t see the full potential from cold pressed.
How should I store cold pressed dog food?
Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bag sealed or use an airtight container to preserve freshness. Because cold pressed food doesn’t contain artificial preservatives, it’s best used within 12 months of opening.
Can puppies eat cold pressed dog food?
Absolutely, we provide balanced nutrition for healthy growth and development. Just make sure to check the packaging for the correct feeding guide and choose a puppy appropriate formula.
Is cold pressed food suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Yes. Many dogs with digestive issues do well on cold pressed food because it’s less processed and easier to digest. Look for recipes that are grain-free or single-protein if your dog has allergies or sensitivities.
Is cold pressed dog food hypoallergenic?
While no food can be guaranteed hypoallergenic, cold pressed foods often use natural, limited ingredients and avoid common allergens like wheat, soy, or artificial additives making them a good choice for dogs prone to allergies.
Does cold pressed food help with dental health?
Cold-pressed pellets are firm but not brittle. While they can help keep teeth cleaner than wet food, they don’t scrape teeth like some kibbles. Regular dental care, like brushing, is still recommended.
Is cold pressed dog food more expensive?
While it can cost slightly more per bag, cold pressed food is more nutrient-dense, meaning you feed less per meal. Plus, the high-quality ingredients and gentle process offer long-term benefits for your dog’s health and digestion.
Can I feed cold pressed food as treats or training rewards?
Definitely! You can use individual pellets as healthy, low-fat treats or rewards during training. They’re tasty, bite-sized, and won’t upset your dog’s diet balance.
How long does cold pressed food last once opened?
Once opened, it’s best used within 12 months for maximum freshness and nutrition. Always store it sealed and away from heat or humidity.
