Best Cold Pressed Dog Foods for 2022

This food has a lot going for it. Venison and trout flavour, which is unlikely to cause your dog any intolerance as it isn’t common. 100% natural, healthy and nutritious. Available in eco packs so you’re not harming the planet. That’s not all, either.

The ingredients are gently pressed at low temperatures to retain nutrients, helping aid digestion and promote all-around health. Venison contains vitamin B, zinc and iron, while trout is a great source of protein.

It comes in pellet form, so is really easy for any dog to chew and digest. And as they need approximately 30% less than ordinary food because it is dense, a little will go a long way. There is the option to buy in 2kg or 10kg packs, in case you love a good bulk buy, however.

Cold-pressed food is naturally good stuff, and many options out there are also grain-free if this is something you need to bear in mind when finding a new dog food.

This dry food quickly breaks down in the stomach and is nutritionally balanced to act as a complete food or it can be mixed with wet food. Added botanicals such as herbs aid the body’s natural defences and improve flavouring, without the use of anything artificial.

The bag is resealable, but you can also store in a suitable container if this will let the food breathe sufficiently. You can mix it with a bit of water to soften it and make it a wetter food consistency, or the pieces are a nice size for most dog breeds.

A complete dried cold-pressed option that’s the closest dry alternative to raw food. It’s hypoallergenic and suitable for dogs at any stage, from puppies through to older dogs.

High in meat content with ‘superfood’ vegetables & botanicals, the cold-pressed method that Walker and Drake uses keeps all of these natural enzymes and vitamins locked in as well as retaining fibre and molecular structures, so your pup doesn’t lose any of the benefits.

It’s gluten and grain-free, as well as being made with 100% natural ingredients, so you know exactly what it is your dog is consuming.

Created with young pups up to 12 months, this cold-pressed food is gentle and packed full of nutrients to promote healthy growth. The meat alone is high quality and packed with protein, with Herring alone provides essential oils that help stimulate the metabolism and support cell production.

Carbohydrates and fibre also support this to promote energy uptake and a strong digestive system, and Green-lipped mussel extract helps reduce cartilage wear by stimulating cartilage cell regeneration.

The food is also rich in plant ingredients such as herbs, berries, roots and seeds that provide vitalising phytonutrients for healthy functioning of the eyes, liver, digestion, nervous system and immune system.

Black Angus dog food is also free from chemical preservatives, colourings, and flavours, making it an even more natural and wholesome choice.

Forthglade is perhaps the biggest name in the natural and cold-pressed world, and this option contains duck which is good for any hounds who have to avoid chicken or red meat.

Duck is a good source of protein, and the addition of sweet potato and peas gives sweetness and a bit of variety. Hypoallergenic and free of any preservatives or unnatural ingredients, young dogs would really benefit from this diet to make intolerances less likely in the future.

Use it as a complete meal, mixed with some wet food or as part of the BARF diet with raw food pieces.

Vegan cold-pressed food can be hard to come by but Lukullus is perfect for any dogs who need to avoid the majority of food groups which are common intolerances.

100% vegan ingredients mean there are no meat sources, and it is gluten-free with no trace of rice or other grains. The cold pressing further makes it easy to digest, and it can also be used as a vegetable base in a balanced diet with raw food or wet food if you don’t want to give your dog a completely vegetarian diet.

Always ask your vet about non-meat diets for dogs and balancing them if you provide a range of foods.
