Made by taking all the tasty and healthy ingredients and putting them into a special press that gently squeezes everything together at a low temperature, the food retains all of it’s natural goodness.

This method also means that free radicals are not produced. These can often put a strain on a dog’s digestive system and metabolism, so cold-pressed food is ideal for dogs who struggle with issues like digestion, bloat or weight. Cold-pressed dog food is essentially food where the ingredients are gently mixed before being pressed for a few seconds. Meat is cooked to ensure no bacteria before it is mixed with the other ingredients using essential cold-pressed oils. More specifically, wet food products are produced by Forthglade’s dedicated facility in Devon, England.

Storing Advice

Cooler temperatures also preserve the natural flavours of the food, so while we can’t confirm that they taste like the real deal ourselves, users have commented that their dogs certainly seem to enjoy eating it! What are the benefits of cold-pressed dog food?

Cold-pressed food is also seen as a great alternative to raw food, for anyone who doesn’t like that idea but wants something a bit more ‘real’. As it is dried, it is a lot more convenient than freezing and defrosting frozen raw food.Salmon Cold Pressed - Salmon (29%) (16% Freshly Prepared Salmon, 13% Dried Ground Salmon)†, Dried Sweet Potato (29%)†, Dried Peas*†, Gelatine*, Dried Beet Pulp (3%)†, Dried Fruit (2.3%: Apples, Pears, Blueberries, Cranberries), Brewer’s Yeast*†, Sunflower Oil (1.5%), Salmon Oil (1%)†, Dried Botanicals (0.6%: Fennel, Nettle, Dandelion), Mannan-oligosaccharide (0.5%), Egg Powder*†, Chicory Extract (0.2%)†, Dried Seaweed, Camomile (0.2%), Flaxseed Oil (0.1%), Glucosamine (300mg/kg), Chondroitin Sulphate (300mg/kg), Yucca Extract (0.02%)*. Fiber, especially soluble fiber, can be very important to some dogs who struggle with irregular digestion and stools. It is also worth noting that some of Forthglade recipes include an impressive level of the Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Crude Protein 26.0%, Crude Fibres 4.9%, Crude Fat 12.0%, Crude Ash 7.0%, Omega-6 1.9%, Omega-3 0.45%, Calcium 1.5%, Phosphorous 0.9%. We strongly believe that invasive or laboratory-style testing of animals is a cruel and outdated practice and one which we hope will see a significant decline. Forthglade Recalls

The food is complete, so there is no need for any other additions. While meat is always the base ingredient, extras such as broccoli, sweet potato and carrots provide the additional vitamins and nutrients.Sweet Potatoes are a starch ingredient and feature in some Forthglade recipes as a major plant-based ingredient. This is because they have a very small range of dry dog food products and a very large range of wet/canned dog food products. While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. The recipe includes 75% Lamb by weight which is a huge proportion and results in an impressive level of animal-based protein and fat.
