• Ideal to be fed alongside raw food.
• Rich in Prebiotoc Fibre.
• 100% Natural.

• Mix with water to make a wet food suitable for dogs with dental issues.
• Better suited to dogs who are prone to bloat.

What is cold-pressed dog food?

Cold-pressed dog food differs from traditional dry dog food because of how the ingredients are processed. The ingredients in conventional dog food are extruded at high temperatures (around 120 degrees). Consequently, many nutrients are damaged or destroyed and don’t reach your dog’s bowl.

In contrast, when food is Cold Pressed, the raw ingredients are processed gently and at much lower temperatures (around 80 degrees). As a result, the food retains more essential nutrients to support your dog’s health.

Another plus for cold-pressed food is that it doesn’t expand in the dog’s stomach like dry extruded food does – it simply dissolves when it enters the stomach. Because of this, cold-pressed food is much less likely to cause bloat.
