Our cold pressed food is more nutrient packed than kibble, so your dog needs about 30% less by volume. Working dogs usually need a bit more than a couch potato of the same size, though, so adjust based on how active your dog is. You'll get a feeding guide with your first order, but feel free to email us at hello@nextritionpet.com if you have questions.

Yes. Kibble is highly-processed dog food, made at high heat, which degrades most nutrients your working dog needs. Unlike kibble, Nextrition starts breaking down immediately — without bloating inside your dog’s stomach. This leads to many benefits, like: improved digestion, boost in immunity, better nutrient absorption and, many more!

Our customers think so! Your dog is getting the highest quality ingredients— real meat, healthy grains and vegetables. We don’t cut corners. And because our food is so nutrient-rich, your dog will need 30% less of it than dry kibble. This means more meals per bag!

Take it slow. Switch over 7 to 10 days, swapping a little more of the old food for ours each day. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or is working hard while you switch, stretch it to 14 days. That gives their gut time to adjust without any setbacks. To help your dog get started with our cold-pressed food, you will get a daily feeding guide with your first order.

Cold Pressed Dog Food for Working Dogs

Working dogs are athletes. What they eat directly affects how they feel, how they work, and how they recover. Sustained energy, strong muscles, and steady digestion all start in the bowl.

Our cold pressed dog food for working dogs delivers on all three. Every recipe is built around real chicken, beef, lamb, or salmon, with a short list of whole food ingredients and added prebiotics for gut support. If your dog's stomach struggles to keep up with their workload, our gut supporting recipes are made to be especially gentle.

Our recipes hit all of these. Real meat as the first ingredient. Whole food carbs like brown rice and sweet potato. Real fruits and veggies. Plus prebiotics for gut support. And the gut connection is real, since your dog's gut health can affect their behavior and focus more than most people realize.

A Closer Look at Our Recipes for Working Dogs

Each of our recipes uses one main protein and a short list of real, natural ingredients. Here's a quick guide to which one fits which dog:

  • Chicken: Our most popular everyday recipe. Real U.S. chicken, simple ingredients, great for most active dogs.
  • Beef: Hearty and protein packed. A good pick for hard working dogs that need extra muscle support.
  • Salmon: Loaded with omega 3s. Great for dogs whose joints, skin, or coat could use a boost.
  • Lamb: A novel protein for sensitive dogs. Often the best fit if chicken doesn't sit well.
