What’s the Difference Between Cold-Pressed Dog Food and Kibble?
29 . October .2026
Choosing the right food for your dog can feel like a big decision, with health benefits, quality, price…where do you even begin?
A good starting point is understanding the difference between traditional kibble and cold-pressed dog food.
Kibble: Cooked Under Pressure
Traditional kibble is made using a process called extrusion. Ingredients are cooked at high temperatures under pressure. This method creates that familiar crunchy texture and makes the food shelf-stable. The process can change some of the nutrients in the food, and kibble’s density can sometimes contribute to slower digestion in sensitive dogs.
Cold Pressed: Gently Does It
Cold-pressed food is made differently. It’s gently pressed at low temperatures, helping to retain all those essential nutrients, flavours, and aromas. Even better, it breaks down gradually in your dog’s stomach, making it easier to digest and gentler on sensitive tummies.
Smell the Difference
Dogs rely on their sense of smell, and cold-pressed food doesn't disappoint. Due to the gentle cooking process, cold-pressed foods tend to keep more of their natural scent and flavour. This means there’s no need for artificial additives or flavourings to tempt your dog to eat.
Simply put, your dog knows good food when they sniff it.
Portion Control Made Easy
We all want our dogs to stay fit and healthy. Cold-pressed food is nutrient-dense, meaning you can often feed smaller portions and still meet your dog’s nutritional needs. Feeding smaller portions, less frequently, helps with weight management and leaves your dog feeling satisfied, not sluggish.
Easy, Versatile, Convenient
Life is busy, and feeding your dog shouldn’t be more of a hassle than it needs to be. Raw food requires prep. Kibble is ready-to-serve and easy to store. Cold-pressed offers a happy medium. It provides the benefits of raw feeding with the convenience of dry food. It’s ready to serve and fits into your routine with zero fuss.
You can serve cold-pressed food:
- As a complete meal - explore our Cold-Pressed Range here.
- Crumbled on top of raw food - try our Immunity Impact™ Meal Topper
- As a healthy training treat - Cobby Crunch Duck Cold-Pressed Training Treats are a hit.
- For scatter feeding fun or spread onto a lick mat (just soak and freeze)
One food. Lots of ways to keep tails wagging.
