Wilsons Cold Pressed Dog Food
Wilsons can trace its history back to the crimean war and is known mainly for its working dog food. Wilsons have recently introduced a cold pressed dog food which is a dry dog food which is pressed at a lower temperature compared to kibbled dry dog food. Kibble undergoes a high temperature extrusion process, where in excess of 40% of the nutritional value can be lost. Cold pressing minimises the impact of temperature and produces a healthier food with greater digestibility and retains the natural nutritional value.
Wilsons have worked with top nutritionists specialising in Cold Press products who have, based on scientific studies, created a complete dog food with all 6 of the major nutrient groups, carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and water, essential to provide energy and ensure the physiological wellbeing of your dog.
The food is available in three flavours Mountain Stream (salmon and sweet potato), Secret Pasture (British lamb and brown rice) and Sunrise Song (chicken and vegetables) containing between 23 -26% protein depending on flavour.
All but the lamb variety are grain free and incorporate superfoods such as seaweed, ginger, turmeric, thyme, cranberry, dandelion root and merry gold yellow which provide additional vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Most of the ingredients are sourced in the UK.
It supports better health with improved intestinal health and digestion - reducing the risk of bloat, shiny coat, better immune system, extra energy, better breath and reduced flatulence.
It can be fed on its own or mixed with a wet dog food and suitable for dogs from 2 months old.
Its great value as it's nutritionally dense and you will need to feed less than normal.
We tried all three flavours and it definitely gets the thumbs up from us.

Furbo Dog Camera
Supported by Furbo
The Furbo is made just for dogs. Unlike a basic pet cam, it is designed to help train, comfort and reward dogs when they are home alone. It is an interactive smart dog camera that lets you see, talk and toss treats to your dog from anywhere. It also has a real time barking alert so you can immediately check in on them and make sure nothing is wrong.
It has a super clear 1080p Full HD, 4 x zoom, 160 degree wide angle and night vision. It holds over 100 pieces of treats which you can dispense any time. It's a two way pet camera to hear and speak to your dog.
The Furbo is super easy to set up:-
- Plug in
- Connect
- Download the app
- Ready to go!
Stay connected on any device, including Amazon Alexa
So, what did we think? We absolutely loved it! We soon realised that after the little noise came some treats and after we'd eaten those we went back to see if any more were going to fall out. The parents loved it too. It was so easy to set up and use and they can keep a check on us to make sure we're behaving and reward us with treats.

Different Dog Food and Treats
The team at Different Dog very kindly asked if we'd like to try their food. We're very happy with our current dry food and didn't want to change but as we sometimes get a tasty topper to go with it, we agreed to try it in addition to our regular food and boy are we glad we did!
Different Dog hand cook their food using the freshest, seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. A vet and nutritionist are part of the team so the food is nutritionally balanced.
We think it's a great idea that they seek to reduce waste by sourcing human grade produce that isn't pretty enough for supermarket shelves. Each week there are new recipes to try.
All the recipes contain at least 60% fresh chicken, lamb, beef or turkey. Seasonal fruit and veg, herbs, quality oils, superfoods and vitamins and minerals.
The food is frozen straight after cooking to preserve taste and nutrition without using chemicals. It is delivered in a personalised insulated box and the food stays frozen until midnight on the day it arrives, so no problem if you're not at home when it's delivered.
Inside the box are a menu of the weeks meals and individual pots of food. All the packaging and pots are recyclable or compostable. Also included in ours was a packet of tasty treats, 100% air dried chicken.
You just need to pop the pots into the freezer and take out and place in the fridge 24 hours before needed. If you forget, you can just place the pot in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes before serving. Once defrosted the food remains fresh for 5 days.
Portion sizes / calorie content are determined by your dogs, weight, age and activity level.
The recipes we received, were braised beef, chicken casserole, easter lamb, turkey and parsley, chicken hotpot and beef stroganoff. Mum was very impressed that you could actually see all the ingredients . We tried the chicken casserole first, which has chicken, liver, red cabbage , sweet potato, carrot, apple, mushroom and parsley and as you can see below, it looks good enough for the humans to eat! All of the other recipes looked just as good and equally as tasty.
Different Dog food and treats gets a big thumbs up from us! It's tasty, good quality and healthy and delivered straight to you door. If you would like to find out more about it take a look at www.differentdog.com
