Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of puppies seeking a high-quality, nutritionally complete dry food. The key benefit is the cold-pressed pellet method, which preserves natural nutrients for optimal puppy development, offering a gentler alternative to kibble. A potential consideration is that it's not kibble, so transition time may be needed for puppies accustomed to other food types. This food is handmade in Scotland, focusing on natural ingredients like chicken and salmon, salmon oil, seaweed, and turmeric, designed for delicate tummies, bone development, and overall well-being.

FAQs

Is this food suitable for all puppy breeds?

Yes, the Wilsons Cold Pressed Chicken and Salmon Puppy Food is formulated to be nutritionally complete for all puppy breeds, supporting their growth and development.

How is 'cold-pressed' different from kibble?

Cold-pressed food is made by pressing ingredients at low temperatures, which helps to preserve the natural nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes. Kibble is typically made using high-heat extrusion, which can degrade some of these beneficial components.

Can I feed this to my adult dog?

No, this specific product is a Puppy Cold Pressed Dry Dog Food. It is formulated with the specific nutritional needs of growing puppies in mind. Adult dogs have different dietary requirements.

What is the recommended feeding amount?

Feeding amounts vary based on your puppy's age, weight, and activity level. Please refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging for specific recommendations and adjust as needed.

How long can I store the opened bag?

Once opened, store the food in a cool, dry place and reseal the bag tightly. For best quality and freshness, it is recommended to use the product within 6-8 weeks of opening.

Is this food hypoallergenic?

The food is grain-free and uses carefully selected ingredients. However, 'hypoallergenic' can be subjective. If your puppy has known severe allergies, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian.

What should I do if my puppy doesn't like it?

Ensure you are transitioning slowly over 7-10 days. You can also try moistening the food with a little warm water or adding a small amount of plain, puppy-safe wet food to make it more appealing.

Troubleshooting

Puppy is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure a slow transition over 7-10 days. You can try slightly warming the food with a little water, or adding a small amount of wet food or puppy-safe broth to entice them. Ensure their old food is fully phased out.

Loose stools or digestive upset during transition.

Slow down the transition process further. Offer smaller, more frequent meals. Ensure the puppy is drinking enough fresh water. If symptoms persist for more than 24-48 hours, consult your veterinarian.

Food pellets seem too small or large for my puppy.

The pellet size is designed for puppies. If your puppy struggles significantly, ensure they are chewing properly. For very young puppies, you can briefly soak a small portion in warm water to soften it.

Concerns about specific ingredients.

This formula is grain-free and includes carefully selected natural ingredients. If you have concerns about a specific ingredient due to a diagnosed allergy, consult your veterinarian before use or discuss alternative Wilsons products.
