Product Information
Full details
This guide is for dog owners seeking a high-quality, nutritionally complete dry dog food, particularly those with sensitive stomachs or dietary needs. The key benefit is its low-temperature pressed pellet formation, which preserves nutrients for better digestibility and health. A potential consideration is the transition period required for dogs adapting to a new food. Wilsons Cold Pressed White Fish Dog Food is handmade in Scotland using natural ingredients, offering a grain-free and chicken-free option that is suitable for dogs aged 2 months and older, and comes in eco-conscious packaging.

FAQs
Why is cold-pressed dog food better than kibble?
Cold pressing involves lower temperatures, which helps to preserve more of the natural nutrients, vitamins, and minerals present in the ingredients compared to the high-heat extrusion process used for kibble. This makes the food more digestible and bioavailable.
Is this food suitable for puppies?
Yes, Wilsons Cold Pressed White Fish Dog Food is suitable for puppies from 2 months of age onwards, providing them with a complete and balanced diet for growth.
What does 'allergy-friendly' mean for this food?
It means the food is formulated without common allergens. This specific recipe is grain-free and chicken-free, making it a good option for dogs that have sensitivities or allergies to grains or poultry.
How should I store the dog food?
Store the food in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container, and away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is resealed properly after each use to maintain freshness.
What is the shelf life of the food once opened?
Once opened, it is best to use the food within 6-8 weeks to ensure maximum freshness and nutrient content. Always keep the bag tightly sealed.
Can I mix this with other foods?
While it's designed to be a complete and balanced meal on its own, you can mix it with Wilsons Pet Food's wet food or toppers. Avoid mixing with different brands or types of dry food during the transition period or regularly, as it can disrupt digestion.
What are the analytical constituents?
The analytical constituents are: Crude protein 25%, crude fat 14%, crude fibre 3%, raw ash 8%, calcium 0.95%, phosphorus 0.9%.
Troubleshooting
Dog refusing to eat the new food
Ensure you are transitioning gradually. Try warming the food slightly with a little warm water or mixing in a small amount of low-sodium, dog-safe broth. Confirm the food is stored correctly to maintain freshness.
Digestive upset (loose stools, vomiting) after switching
You may need to slow down the transition process. Revert to a higher percentage of the old food and increase the Wilsons percentage more slowly over 10-14 days. Ensure ample fresh water is available.
Food seems dry or dusty
This is characteristic of the cold-pressed process. Ensure your dog is drinking enough water. You can add a small amount of water to the food before serving if your dog prefers a softer texture.
