Fussy dogs aren’t picky - they’re just smart

Many dog foods use, low-quality meat powders, cheap fillers and vague meat derivatives. So dogs sniff it… and walk away.

It’s not fussiness. It’s instinct.

Easily Digested

Traditional extruded kibble expands when exposed to liquid.

Cold pressed food behaves differently. It tends to gently break down rather than swell significantly. Many owners prefer this, especially for dogs with sensitive digestion.

More Benefits v Traditional Kibble

Poor quality traditional kibble can impact digestibility.

Most traditional dry dog food is made using a process called extrusion. This involves:

Very high heat
Steam pressure
Rapid expansion
Multiple heating stages

Research published in the journal Animals highlights that high heat processing can alter protein structure and reduce certain heat-sensitive nutrients in pet food (van Rooijen et al., 2014, Animals). Studies in animal nutrition have shown that excessive processing can affect protein digestibility (Camire et al., 1990, Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition).
