How long should transitioning my dog onto Pawsitive take?
Gradually transition your dog to Pawsitive over at least two weeks. Start with a mix of 25% Pawsitive and 75% of their current food, slowly increasing the Pawsitive portion each day. This helps your dog adjust to the new diet, especially if they haven't had similar food before.
Why is Pawsitive more expensive than supermarket dog foods?
Pawsitive is a premium cold-pressed dog food created as a healthier alternative to kibble. Our unique cold-pressing process preserves nutrients by using low temperatures, ensuring your dog gets maximum nutritional value. We use a 100% natural recipe with a balanced 40/60/0 formulation: 40% high-quality meat, 60% fruits, vegetables, and superfoods, and 0% grains, fillers, or artificial additives. Additionally, we source the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients to provide superior nutrition, which comes at a higher cost than supermarket brands using cheaper, lower-quality ingredients.
What's the manufacturing process?
The raw, natural ingredients are flash pasteurised in an instant to kill any bacteria or pathogens. They are then gently and slowly dehydrated by using airflow at 70° until the desired moisture content is reached and, crucially, the chemical process of cooking has not started.
This results in a bacteria-free ingredient in a format that is similar to being air-dried.
Those ingredients are then turned into a nutrient-rich blend and cold pressed together which reaches a maximum of 45° only at the instant they are pressed.
This means that the product is like any other dry, kibble food you might've used before. You can store it in the cupboard then simply weigh out however much you need each day and split it over 2-3 meals.
What ingredients do you use?
We use zero additives, fillers, or random ingredients you can't understand. All our recipes are 40% meat and animal products, 60% fruit, veggies and superfoods and 0% grains, fillers or artificial additives.
Is Pawsitive nutritionally complete?
Pawsitive is nutritionally complete. Because we use high quality ingredients, we don't need to add artificial vitamin and mineral blends. It's suitable for all dogs aged 8 weeks and older.
What does 40/60/0 mean?
40/60/0 simply means we use 40% animal products and 60% plant products with 0% grains, fillers or artificial additives/preservatives.
