Looking for an Alternative to Tails.com? Natural Feeding Options for Dogs

dalmatian-wild-tails

Many dog owners searching for Tails.com are looking for a more personalised approach to feeding their dog.

At Wild Tails – Raw Food Specialists, we completely understand that.

Every dog is different. Some dogs struggle with itchy skin, poor digestion, sensitive stomachs, fussy eating or low energy levels — and many owners want more control over the ingredients they feed.

That is why we believe feeding should be tailored to the individual dog, not treated as one-size-fits-all.

While some owners prefer personalised dry feeding plans, others start exploring more natural alternatives such as cold pressed food or easy-to-use raw feeding with clearly identifiable ingredients.


Different Feeding Approaches for Different Dogs

There is no single feeding method that works for every dog.

Some owners want:

  • maximum convenience
  • dry food delivered to the door
  • simple feeding routines

Others are looking for:

  • higher meat content
  • less processed ingredients
  • single protein options
  • raw feeding
  • natural diets for sensitive dogs

At Wild Tails, we help owners choose the feeding style that best suits:

  • their dog’s needs
  • their lifestyle
  • their budget
  • available freezer space

Traditional Kibble vs Cold Pressed vs Raw Feeding

Many tailored dry food plans still use traditional kibble production methods.

Cold pressed food and raw feeding take a different approach by focusing on gentler processing and more natural ingredients.

Below is a simple comparison of the three feeding styles.

Cold Pressed Dog Food – A Natural Dry Alternative

Cold Pressed (Gently Baked)

For owners wanting the convenience of dry food without feeding traditional kibble, cold pressed food has become increasingly popular.

Cold pressed food is made using gentler temperatures than traditional kibble, helping retain more natural nutrients and ingredients.

Many owners choose cold pressed food because it:

  • contains high meat content
  • is less processed
  • is easy to store
  • does not require freezer space
  • may be gentler on digestion for some dogs

One of our most popular ranges is Wild Pet Food. We at Wild Tails – Raw Food Specialists in South Wales (yes, we have a similar name) delivers the full range of Wild Pet Food to addresses across the UK.

Raw Feeding – A More Natural Feeding Approach

Nutriment Raw – One of several ranges of raw meals available at Wild Tails

For local customers with freezer space available, raw feeding can be one of the most natural, varied and cost-effective ways to feed a dog.

Raw feeding focuses on minimally processed ingredients such as:

  • a wide range of meats including Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Duck, Turkey, Goose, Salmon, Venison, Pork, Tripe, Rabbit, Wild Boar, Kangaroo etc
  • ground bone
  • offal (nutrient rich organs)
  • natural supplements, vegetables, herbs and fruits

Many owners prefer raw feeding because they can clearly see exactly what protein source their dog is eating.

This can be especially useful for dogs with:

  • food sensitivities
  • itchy skin
  • digestive issues
  • recurring ear problems
  • poor stools
  • anal gland problems
  • fussy appetites

At Wild Tails – Raw Food Specialists, we help owners transition safely and gradually onto raw feeding using a tailored approach based on the individual dog.

Every dog is different.

Some owners prefer the simplicity and convenience of traditional dry feeding.

Others want:

  • less processed ingredients
  • more identifiable protein sources
  • higher meat content
  • rotational feeding options
  • a more natural approach

If you are local to South Wales and have freezer space available, raw feeding may be worth exploring.

If you are looking for a convenient dry alternative with gentler processing and excellent ingredients, cold pressed food such as Wild Pet Food can be an excellent option.
