Question 1

Cold Pressed vs. Standard Kibble: Key Differences

Furness Raw Feasts · Accepted Answer

Feature	Cold Pressed Dog Food	Standard Extruded Kibble
Cooking Temperature	Low Temp (approx. 45°C - 50°C)	High Temp (often 120°C - 150°C+)
Nutrient Density	High. Retains natural vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.	Lower. Heat can damage nutrients, requiring synthetic additives.
Digestive Action	Dissolves quickly from the outside in; No bloating.	Swells and absorbs liquid in the stomach; can cause gas.
Portion Size	Small, dense portions (approx. 30% less needed by weight).	Larger, lighter pellets "puffed" with air during cooking.
Raw Feeding Support	Can be fed alongside a raw diet due to similar digestion times.	Difficult to mix with raw as it digests at a much slower rate.
Shelf Life	Shorter (usually 6-8 months) as it's a natural product.	Long (12-24 months) due to high processing and preservatives.

Why this matters for your dog:

Gentle on Stomachs: Because cold pressed food doesn't expand when it hits the stomach's acids, it is the number one choice for dogs prone to bloating or sensitive GI issues.
Maximum Nutrition: Your dog gets more "bang for their buck." Because the proteins and oils haven't been damaged by extreme heat, the body can absorb them more effectively.
The Best of Both Worlds: Cold pressed is often called "the dry version of raw feeding." It offers the convenience of dry food with the nutritional integrity of a raw diet.
