COLD-PRESSED

What is cold-pressed dog food?

Cold-pressed dog food is made at lower temperatures than conventional extruded kibble. Winner Plus cold-pressed food is processed at temperatures up to 72°C.

Cold-pressed pellets behave differently with liquid than conventional kibble: they break down and soften more easily and generally expand less in the digestive tract. This can be a well-tolerated choice for many dogs, but suitability always depends on the individual dog and recipe.

Which dogs can benefit from cold-pressed dog food?

Cold-pressed dry food may suit:

• puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs;
• dogs with sensitive digestion, if the chosen recipe suits them;
• dogs that enjoy pellets that soften more easily;
• active dogs that need food with a higher energy content;
• dogs with a calmer lifestyle that suit a lower-fat recipe;
• owners who want to combine dry food with wet food or raw food.

For deep-chested dogs or dogs at risk of gastric torsion, it is important to consider the entire feeding routine: portion size, eating speed, calm time before and after meals, and how the specific food suits your dog. The smaller expansion of cold-pressed pellets does not replace these everyday precautions.

Benefits of cold-pressed food

The main characteristics of cold-pressed dry food are:

• lower processing temperature — up to 72°C;
• pellets that soften more easily when in contact with liquid;
• generally less expansion in the digestive tract than extruded kibble;
• options for dogs of different ages, sizes and activity levels;
• the ability to choose suitable protein and fat levels;
• convenient use as complete food or combined with other food types.

Ingredients and quality

Winner Plus cold-pressed dry food in FendaF’s range is made with quality ingredients and contains no GMOs, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, bone meal, meat meal, eggs or gluten-containing grains.

The range includes single-protein recipes — salmon only or chicken only — as well as a puppy recipe and one adult-dog food containing chicken, beef and pork. You will also find a lower-fat food for less active dogs and higher-energy recipes for active dogs.

The food is made with human-grade ingredients, and food safety standards are followed throughout production.

How to feed cold-pressed dog food

Cold-pressed dry food can be fed as a complete meal on its own or combined with wet food and raw food. For puppies, the pellets can be soaked briefly when needed — they soften quickly and are then easier to eat.

Always follow the feeding guide on the pack and adjust the amount according to your dog’s weight, activity level and body condition. If you replace part of the dry food with wet food or raw food, calculate the daily portion according to the energy content of the full diet. Always provide fresh drinking water.

Which cold-pressed dog food should you choose?

When choosing the right recipe, consider:

• your dog’s age and life stage;
• body weight, activity level and energy needs;
• suitable protein sources;
• fat content;
• possible food sensitivities and previous food tolerance.

If you are unsure which cold-pressed food suits your dog best or how to combine it with wet food or raw food, contact us. We are happy to help you make the choice and, when needed, calculate a suitable daily amount.
