Full details

This guide is for owners of active and working dogs seeking a nutrient-dense food that supports sustained energy levels. The key benefit is its cold-pressed formula, which retains natural nutrients for better digestion and energy release. A potential caveat is that some dogs may require a transition period to adapt to cold-pressed food.

FAQs

What makes cold-pressed dog food different from kibble?

Cold-pressed food is made by pressing ingredients at low temperatures, which helps to retain more of their natural nutrients. Kibble is typically extruded at high temperatures, which can degrade some nutrients.

How much Wilsons Fish Cold Pressed Working Dog Food should I feed my dog?

Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging or consult Wilsons Pet Food's website for specific recommendations. Always ensure fresh water is available.

Can I mix this food with wet food?

It is generally not recommended to mix cold-pressed food with kibble or wet food in the same meal, as they digest at different rates, which can lead to digestive upset. If you wish to switch between food types, do so on separate meals or days.

What are the benefits of fish in dog food?

Fish is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for skin, coat health, and joint support. It is also a good alternative for dogs with sensitivities to common protein sources like chicken.

Is this food suitable for puppies?

This specific formula, 'Working Dog Food', is generally designed for adult dogs. Wilsons Pet Food may offer puppy-specific formulations; please check their product range or consult with them directly.

What does 'nutritionally complete' mean?

Nutritionally complete means the food contains all the essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates your dog needs to stay healthy, without requiring any additional supplements.

How long does the food stay fresh after opening?

When stored correctly in a sealed bag in a cool, dry place, the food should remain fresh for several weeks after opening. However, it's best to use it within 4-6 weeks for optimal quality.

Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the new food

Gradually introduce the food over a longer period (10-14 days), mixing it with a familiar, highly palatable food or a small amount of warm water to create a gravy. Ensure no other new foods or treats are introduced simultaneously.

Digestive upset (loose stools) during transition

Slow down the transition process. Reduce the amount of new food and increase the old food slightly, then slowly reintroduce the new food over an extended period. Ensure your dog has access to fresh water.

Pellets seem dry or dusty

This is normal for cold-pressed food. You can moisten the pellets with a small amount of warm water before serving if your dog prefers a softer texture or to help entice them to eat.

Concerns about nutritional completeness for specific breeds

Consult with your veterinarian to confirm if this diet meets the specific needs of your dog's breed, age, and health status, especially if they have pre-existing conditions.
