When changing your dog’s food always do so gradually by replacing a little of the current food with Walker & Drake, and increase the proportion over a two week period until Walker & Drake is the only food offered. Remember to always weigh your dog food portions, cold-pressed food is naturally more dense than extruded kibble so it is easy to overfeed your pooch. 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. Absolutely. Mix it with a little warm water to soften the food to form the consistency of porridge. We must be one of very few companies currently building a new pet food facility in the UK but we’re passionate about keeping our production here and having control over all aspects of it. Sourced in the UK
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. 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.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. Overfeeding can result in loose stool and significant weight gain. How long does cold-pressed food keep for? 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. Getting fussy eaters onto a new food can sometimes be a problem. Here are a few tips to help you along the way. Absolutely. Many dog owners who feed their pooch a raw diet also use cold pressed as it offers a food that is naturally nutrition complete and is made is a gentle way.
We manufacture our food with a best before date of 9 months so by the time a customer receives it there is usually at least 8 months of that time remaining. If stored in a cool dark place and NOT in an airtight container it should last fine opened for most of that time period. In our homes we decant some into a container with a flip top lid so it does not create an airtight seal. The rest we just keep in a cupboard, still in the bag and roll the top of the bag over. Our bags have tiny perforations down the sides to let them breathe a bit. 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. Walker and Drake is an exciting new range of Cold Pressed food for dogs that is made from the highest quality ingredients to keep those doggy tails wagging. The meat and the majority of vegetables are sourced from British farms and quality producers, and the fish is sourced from traceable fisheries. The vet has no idea what it is and doesn't seem worried, because I guess a lot of dogs scavenge and throw up, but mine is different:
Remove the food. If your dog refuses to eat the new food, remove the bowl after 15 minutes and try again several hours later. General guidelines are 1.2% of body weight per day. This could go up to 2.5% for active or younger dogs, however. No, all the meat/protein elements are cooked and dried before blending with the other ingredients. The majority of vegetables are raw but dried and either flaked or ground before blending and pressing.
While the general technique of making it is the same that can’t be said of recipes. At Walker & Drake we have developed our own recipe with good meat content and great mix of vegetables and botanicals. Specifically, our recipe is great for ease of digestion and joint care. Transition slowly from the old food to the new food. Dogs often don’t like a change to their routine. 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.Generally, the less the shelf life, the more natural the food is which could make your decision a lot easier. How do I switch my dog to a cold-pressed diet? All Life Stages and Puppy food is grain and gluten free. Our Small Breed food contains rice which is technically a grain, so it is denoted as wheat and gluten free.
