Stop the Bloat: Why Cold Pressed Dog Food is Perfect for Sensitive Stomachs
Digestive issues are one of the most common reasons pet owners end up at the vet, but switching to cold pressed dog food could be the simple solution you need. If your dog constantly battles with trapped gas, indigestion, or an uncomfortable, bloated stomach after meals, you need to look closely at exactly how their current dry food behaves once they swallow it.
In this episode of The Dog Food Expert Podcast, Alex and Daniel tackle the issue of canine digestive health by comparing traditional extruded kibble to the gentle cold pressing method. We conduct the famous "water glass test" to explain what happens inside your dog's stomach. While standard kibble absorbs stomach acids and swells up like a giant sponge—stretching the stomach lining and causing painful bloating—cold pressed pellets gently dissolve from the outside in.
We explain why this low-temperature cooking method is an absolute game-changer for dogs with delicate digestive tracts.
In this episode, we cover:
The Swell Factor: The physical mechanics of why extruded kibble causes trapped wind and bloating, and how cold pressed food prevents it by breaking down into a soft, easy-to-pass paste.
Built-in Digestive Aids: How the gentle, low-heat pressing method preserves the natural digestive enzymes found in raw meats and vegetables, actively aiding your dog's gut health.
Filler-Free Nutrition: Why cutting out cheap, harsh fillers like wheat and soy (commonly found in standard kibble) instantly reduces gut inflammation and loose stools.
The Best of Both Worlds: How to get the nutritional and digestive benefits of a fresh, natural diet without sacrificing the everyday convenience of a dry biscuit.
Why Listen? If you are tired of dealing with a gassy dog and messy clean-ups in the garden, this episode will teach you how a simple change in food manufacturing style can soothe your dog's sensitive stomach for good.
