Forthglade Complete Natural Dry Dog Food - Grain Free Chicken with Vegetables (6kg) Resealable Bag - Easy to Digest Cold Pressed Dog Food for Puppy, Adult and Senior Dogs

Product Information

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. They say the following “ Our pet foods are tested by a number of independent pet food authorities and independent nutritionists. We receive SALSA accreditation for our pet food manufacturing and are regularly audited by the APHA, who were previously known as DEFRA. “. The recipe includes 75% Lamb by weight which is a huge proportion and results in an impressive level of animal-based protein and fat. 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?

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. For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.However, there are currently concerns about a possible link between the high usage of legumes in grain-free dog food and an increased rate of canine heart disease.

The small range of dry dog food products offered by Forthglade are very similar, and the only noticeable difference is their core poultry ingredient. However, they do offer their dry food in several different bag sizes, as you can see below. Overfeeding can result in loose stool and significant weight gain. How long does cold-pressed food keep for? 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. While the nutrition provided by Forthglade varies, it is generally above-average to significantly above-average when compared to other brands.

Our Wet Recipes

Forthglade uses a moderate range of meat and fish ingredients in its recipes when compared to other brands. However, the cold-pressed recipes are produced in an unspecified country in the EU, and lastly, their treats are produced at a bakery near Southampton, England. Forthglade does have some niche dog food recipes at this time, which include several puppy food recipes and some senior dog food. Sweet Potatoes are a starch ingredient and feature in some Forthglade recipes as a major plant-based ingredient.

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. 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. Fiber, especially soluble fiber, can be very important to some dogs who struggle with irregular digestion and stools. 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.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 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. 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. Peas are the most popular plant-based addition to grain-free dog food across the industry. Their popularity is thanks to their relatively low cost and high nutritional value, which is high in plant-based protein.
