How to choose the right protein for your dog

Just like us, every dog is unique and so are their dietary needs. Protein is the building block of a healthy diet, supporting muscle, skin, and coat health.

  • Chicken: A lean, highly digestible option for most dogs
  • Beef: Rich and hearty; great for energy
  • Fish: Packed with omega-3s for healthy skin
  • Lamb or Duck: Ideal for dogs with sensitivities

Tip: Rotate proteins every few months for balanced nutrition.

5 Reasons to switch to cold pressed dog food

If you’ve been feeding traditional kibble, you might wonder what makes cold pressed worth it.

  • Gentle cooking retains nutrients
  • Easier digestion
  • Natural ingredients
  • Mixes well with raw
  • You feed smaller portions since it’s more nutrient-dense.

Understanding your dog’s poo: What it can tell you about their health

It might not be glamorous, but your dog’s poo says a lot about their health.

  • 

Healthy poo should be firm, chocolate brown, and easy to pick up
  • Soft stools too much food or sudden diet change
  • 
Dark stools too much protein

Cold pressed foods often produce smaller, less smelly stools, a great sign of good digestion!

Feeding for a shiny coat and healthy skin

Your dog’s coat reflects their health, dull fur or itchy skin often link back to diet.

  • Omega-3 & Omega-6 from fish oils
  • Zinc & Biotin for hair growth
  • Protein for skin regeneration

Cold pressed food keeps these nutrients intact for a healthy shine

How to transition to a new dog food the right way

Switch gradually to prevent upset tummies:

  • Days 1–2: 25% new food
  • Days 3–4: 50% new food
  • Days 5–6: 75% new food
  • Day 7: 100% new food

Cold pressed food digests differently, so stool changes are normal as your dog adjusts.
