Cold pressed dog food is made using lower temperatures and minimal processing, helping to preserve natural nutrients, vitamins and amino acids.

Unlike standard extruded kibble (which is cooked at temperatures over 140°C), cold pressed food is gently pressed at around 40–44°C. This creates a denser pellet that breaks down easily in the stomach, making it gentler on digestion and less likely to cause bloating.

Yes.

All Walker & Drake cold pressed dry food and gently steamed wet food recipes are complete and balanced, providing everything your dog needs every day - with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Yes!

We offer a wide range of cold pressed sample packs, so you can try before you commit.

You’ll only pay £2.99 postage, with no subscription or obligation.

• Always transition gradually over 7–14 days:
• Start by replacing a small amount of your dog’s current food with Walker & Drake
• Slowly increase the amount every few days
• By the end of the transition, feed Walker & Drake exclusively

Cold pressed food is naturally more nutrient-dense, so always weigh portions to avoid overfeeding.

Yes.

Walker & Drake can be fed to puppies once they are fully weaned. We also offer dedicated puppy recipes formulated to support growth, joint development and digestion.

Always follow the feeding guide and consult your vet if unsure.

Absolutely.

Cold pressed is ideal for active and working dogs thanks to its digestibility and nutrient density. We also produce a Working Dog recipe, designed for high energy output and available VAT-free.

All Life Stages & Puppy recipes are grain and gluten free.

Small Breed & Working Dog recipes contain rice, which is naturally gluten free and gentle on digestion.

All recipes are clearly labelled so you can choose what suits your dog best.

No.

The meat ingredients are cooked and dried before blending, while vegetables are gently prepared and dried. Cold pressed offers some of the benefits of raw feeding, including improved digestion due to the minimal processing and quality of ingredients, but without requiring freezer space or handling of raw meat.

Yes.

Adding a little warm water will soften the pellets into a porridge-like consistency, which some dogs love, especially puppies, seniors or fussy eaters.

Yes.

Many raw feeders use cold pressed as a convenient, nutritionally complete alternative when travelling or when short on freezer space. It can also be used as a topper to raw food to add texture, crunch and additional nutrients.

Our cold pressed can also be fed alongside and mixed with our steam cooked wet food.

• Standard cold pressed: approx. 7mm diameter
• Small Breed & Puppy: approx. 5mm diameter

Cold pressed pellets are softer than traditional kibble, think luxury flapjack, not rock-hard biscuits.

Try these tips:

• Transition slowly and stick to routine
• Add warm water to release aroma
• Remove food after 15 minutes if uneaten
• Avoid table scraps during transition
• Ensure your dog is well exercised
• Most dogs adjust quickly once they realise good food is on offer.

Cold pressed food supports healthy digestion which results in better poos.

Because of its natural fibre content and digestibility, stools are typically well-formed and easy to pick up. You may notice slightly larger stools compared to raw feeding, this is completely normal.
