Cold-pressed Dog Food for Working Dogs

If you own a working dog, who runs their little legs off day after day, you want to know you’re giving them everything they need to stay at the top of their game. We’re sure you’ll agree that working dogs are absolute superheroes, whatever role they fill, and deserve the very best nutrition has to offer to stay energised, healthy, and happy while on and off the clock. 

Cold-pressed dog food is a relatively new concept that has exploded in recent years. Unlike traditional kibble, which is cooked at high temperatures, cold-pressed dog food is made using a unique process that involves gently pressing the ingredients at low temperatures. This preserves more of the natural nutrients and flavours, making it a super healthy option for your working dog.  

Why is cold-pressed a good working dog food?

There are three key reasons why cold-pressed dog food is ideal for working dogs. 

Nutrient Retention

The low-temperature process helps retain essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that are often lost in high-heat cooking. This means your working dog gets the most out of each ingredient and gets the nutrients they need to stay active. 

Because the nutrients are so well-preserved, you can actually feed smaller portions, less often, reducing the load on their stomach and helping your working dog feel lighter. 

Easier Digestion

The main feedback we get from our customers is about just how gentle our cold-pressed is, and how helpful it is for dogs with sensitive stomachs. This is because the gentle processing keeps the fibre intact, supporting healthy digestion. Plus, cold-pressed kibble breaks down gradually from the outside in, rather than sitting on the stomach. 

For highly active dogs, the last thing you want is a meal that leaves them sluggish, bloated, or aggravates existing stomach problems. With Cobbydog cold-pressed, you get the complete opposite: a nutrient-rich and gentle food that keeps your dog feeling spritely and ready for action. 

Natural Flavour and Aroma

The third point is FLAVOUR. Over the years, we’ve faced our fair share of formidable four-legged critics, and we’re proud to say we’ve won over many a fussy pup with the taste of our cold-pressed. Working dogs, more than most, deserve mealtime to be an event; a reward for all their hard work. 

Our cold-pressed recipes are designed to be as appetising as possible, with flavours like Fish Supper, Duck Dinner, and Chicken Optimum, and tasty additions like sweet potato, dried apple, and beet, to name a few. 

In the same way, cold-pressed retains the maximum amount of its nutrients, it also locks in all its delicious flavours and aromas, much to the delight of those dogs lucky enough to enjoy it at mealtime. 

What are the advantages of cold-pressed dog food to working dogs?

Let’s take a look at the specific advantages cold-press extends to working dogs, whether they be herding dogs, service dogs, sniffer dogs, search and rescue dogs, or whatever the case may be. 

Sustained Energy 

Unlike traditional kibble, cold-pressed doesn’t swell in the stomach. Instead, it crumbles and provides a slow, steady release of energy once absorbed. It digests faster and more safely with less risk of sharp energy spikes or crashes. This makes it ideal for dogs needing lasting stamina. 

Muscle Growth & Maintenance

High-quality proteins like duck, chicken and fish support muscle growth and maintenance. For working dogs that rely on their strength and agility, a protein-rich diet keeps them strong and lean, and aids in a more speedy recovery after periods of intense activity. 

Joint Health

Working dogs’ joints endure far more strain than those of the average pet. Our cold-pressed recipes, such as Fish Supper, are naturally rich in omega-6 and omega-6 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation and prevent cartilage wear. 

Many of our foods also feature TurmerAid, a blend featuring turmeric, an ingredient renowned for its soothing properties. Together, these ingredients ease joint pain, support recovery, and help keep dogs mobile. 

Weight Management

As we’ve mentioned, cold-pressed food is nutrient-dense, meaning you can pack the same punch in a smaller portion. This helps working dogs stay lean without carrying excess weight. Effective weight management reduces stress on joints and keeps working dogs at their peak, especially in terms of endurance and agility. 

Gut Health

The cold-processing process results in a food that quickly crumbles in the stomach, reducing the risk of bloat. Bloat (also known as Gastric Dilation Volvulus, or GDV) is a particular concern for large, deep-chested breeds that are often used as service dogs, such as German Shepherds. 

It’s also easier on sensitive stomachs, improving digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.

Convenience

Cold-pressed dog food can be fed on its own, combined with raw, used as treats, etc. It’s easy to measure, store, and transport, all while still providing expert nutrition. This versatility makes it perfect for working dog owners who need feeding time to be as practical and fuss-free as possible.
