Product Information

While some are big fans of the use of Brewers Yeast, others doubt whether its benefits are noticeable, especially in the tiny quantities found in dog food recipes. However, many of their products are suitable for dogs of all ages, which further broadens the range of recipes available for both types of dogs. While the nutrition provided by Forthglade varies, it is generally above-average to significantly above-average when compared to other brands. At this time, we have no information on what type of animal testing Forthglade participates in if any. Many professionals who support cold pressing believe that because the food is naturally dense due to the manufacturing method, you don’t need quite as much which makes it more likely your pup will eat everything, and it easier at mealtimes for you.

The ingredients are first mixed together with cold water and then pressed under low heat for a short time. It keeps the nutrients there which are often lost under heat, particularly the ones within the natural oils. As with all diet changes, a dogs stomach is sensitive so never make a big switch straight away. Start with an 80:20 balance of old/new food, and then a week later move to 50:50, 20:80 until completely switched out. However, beyond its fiber content, Beet Pulp provides little to no further nutrition. You can read more about Beet Pulp in our article Dried Beet Pulp In Dog Food . All of the natural ingredients retain their flavour, aroma, vitamins and nutritional value this way, as extreme heat isn’t used. These are all essential to growth, digestion and good health.

Cold Pressed Dog Food

Brands were a big plus for us too. Most brands which produce cold-pressed dog food do so solely, so you know research goes into the bag and there’s no risk of contamination. Overfeeding can result in loose stool and significant weight gain. How long does cold-pressed food keep for?

Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. 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. This correlates to extremely high proportions of protein and fat, which should rightly be at the heart of any dog food recipe. More specifically, wet food products are produced by Forthglade’s dedicated facility in Devon, England.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.
