FAQs
What is cold-pressed dog food?
Cold-pressed dog food is made by pressing ingredients together at low temperatures. This process helps to retain more of the natural vitamins, minerals, and nutrients compared to high-heat cooking methods used for kibble.
Can this food be fed to puppies?
Yes, Wilsons Cold Pressed Turkey and Duck Dog Food is suitable for dogs aged 2 months and older, including puppies.
How much food should I give my dog?
Feeding guidelines can vary based on your dog's age, breed, and activity level. Refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging for recommended daily amounts, and adjust as necessary.
Is this food suitable for dogs with allergies?
This specific formula is grain-free and chicken-free, making it suitable for many dogs with common sensitivities. However, always check the full ingredient list for other potential allergens.
Why is it not baked or cooked?
The absence of baking or high-heat cooking is central to the cold-pressing method. This preserves the integrity and bioavailability of the nutrients, making the food more digestible and beneficial for your dog.
How should I store the food after opening?
Store the food in a cool, dry place and ensure the packaging is tightly resealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture exposure.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unopened, the product typically has a shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, it is best consumed within 6-8 weeks when stored correctly.
Troubleshooting
Dog is reluctant to eat the new food
Ensure you are following the gradual transition guidelines. You can try warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma. Avoid mixing with strong-smelling human foods.
Loose stools or digestive upset during transition
This can be normal as the digestive system adjusts. Slow the transition further by increasing the proportion of the old food slightly and then reintroducing the new food more gradually. Ensure adequate water intake.
Food appears dusty or crumbly
This is a characteristic of the cold-pressing process and does not affect the nutritional value. It's recommended to mix gently before serving.
