Cold pressed dog food? And insect protein

[JBM]

Anyone tired these?
Want something that’s better than kibble and cold pressed seems better?
And insect protein seems better for the environment

I use Rocco from zooplus.ie for real meat cooked wet dog food cans. They have a huge selection of ‘real protein’ animal foods, rather than the ’protein derivatives’ most grain-based food include.

I think rocco also do round large pressed real meat sausage-shape meals in plastic wrapping.

My huskyXGSD as a pup was allergic to either colourings or the grain from kibble, so switched to grain-free and that worked wonders for her. No runny nose, itching etc. She’s 12 now and doing well health-wise. I get grain-free kibble too, so she’s on both wet and dry.…for variety for her mainly.

Insect protein is popular now isnt it? Never tried it, but my cat loves eating spiders so little critters are obviously tasty to them!

Mine tried insect protein kibble at dogfest a few years sgo and wouldn't touch it, they aren't fussy dogs so it's not something I'd feed personally.

I use Markus Muhle NaturNah cold pressed and really rate it. It's a very good price to bulk buy on Zooplus for the quality/ingredients.

Currently feeding the elderly whippet Walker and Drake Ocean fish and really happy with it so far. He had an awful couple of weeks with badly upset tum and this seems to be the answer. He scoffs it and the output is back to a normal solid. He can’t tolerate over 10-12% fat, anything with pea protein and isn’t a fan of salmon. He’d been on Angell Sensitive for about 10 years and then they added in the pea protein so pretty relieved to find an alternative!

Markus Muhle cold pressed is reasonably priced and mine ate it when I fed it without issue

I used to feed Lukullus cold pressed and the dogs loved it. Was experimenting at the time as the first Weim had anal gland issues. It sorted the problem and he looked great on it. Have been eyeing up the Markus Muhle myself recently based on CC's posts. It looks good for the price

My fussy old setter has Wolfworthy, which is the only dry dog food he will consider eating. He doesn't eat enough if it to keep himself alive, so he has Burns Lamb,Carrot and brown Rice wet food as well

I swap between Markus Muhule and Lukullus on Zooplus for breakfast (whichever is on offer, but always the premuim, higher meat option), they have raw for tea.

All of mine love Markus Muhle. They have improved their recipe. It used to contain a lot of maize.

I like zoo plus advertising its food per kg, so much more comprehensible. But I can’t find ingredients for the lukullus. I know I’m being incompetent but I’m just trotting in loops and getting nowhere, please help!

Thank you. I knew it was there somewhere

An interesting difference between the two, Beef looks better, no maize or peas but similar meat content and added fish oil
