FAQs
What makes Wilsons Cold Pressed different from kibble?
Wilsons Cold Pressed food is made at low temperatures to retain nutrients, whereas kibble is typically baked or extruded at high temperatures which can degrade nutrient content. Cold pressing also results in a more digestible food.
Is this food suitable for puppies?
Yes, Wilsons Cold Pressed food is suitable for all dogs aged 2 months and older, including puppies.
How much Wilsons food should I feed my dog?
Feeding guidelines vary by dog weight and activity level. Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging or the guide provided in this document, and adjust portions based on your dog's individual needs.
Can I mix Wilsons Cold Pressed with other foods?
While Wilsons is nutritionally complete, it's best to transition your dog fully onto this food. If mixing, do so gradually. Avoid mixing with heavily processed foods or cooked leftovers that may upset digestion.
What are the main protein sources in this salmon recipe?
The main protein sources are dried ground salmon (22%) and dry ground white fish (6%), supported by salmon hydrolysate and salmon oil.
Does this food contain grains?
This specific salmon recipe contains peas and tapioca, but no grains. Wilsons also offers grain-free options across their range.
What is the shelf life of the food?
Unopened, the food typically has a shelf life of 12-18 months from the production date. Once opened, it should be consumed within 4-6 weeks for optimal freshness.
Troubleshooting
Dog is reluctant to eat the new food.
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Try warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of plain, dog-safe broth or topper to increase palatability.
Mild digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) during transition.
Slow down the transition process, using a lower percentage of Wilsons food and a higher percentage of the previous food for a few extra days. Ensure fresh water is always available.
Food appears to be breaking down easily in the bag.
This is normal for cold-pressed food. The pellets are less dense than kibble and can break down slightly during transit. This does not affect the nutritional quality.
Packaging difficult to reseal.
Use a clip or transfer the food to an airtight container for optimal freshness.
