Cold Pressed Turkey Gastro - The Dog Food Designed for Digestive Problems

If your dog has persistent loose stools, irregular digestion, IBS-type symptoms or a gut that never quite seems settled, you’ve probably tried switching foods before with limited success. Our Cold Pressed Turkey Gastro recipe was formulated specifically for this and what makes it different from other sensitive stomach foods is one ingredient you won’t find in standard recipes: psyllium husks.

What Makes Turkey Gastro Different?

Most sensitive stomach dog foods address digestive issues by removing irritants - no wheat, no gluten, gentle carbohydrates. That’s a good start, and Turkey Gastro does all of that. But it goes further by actively supporting gut motility and bowel regularity through psyllium husks and seeds, a natural soluble fibre with a well documented effect on digestive function.

What Are Psyllium Husks and What Do They Do?

Psyllium husks are the outer coating of Plantago ovata seeds, a natural plant-based soluble fibre. When they enter the digestive tract, they absorb water and form a gel-like substance that:

• Bulks and firms loose stools by absorbing excess water in the gut

• Supports regular bowel movements by encouraging healthy gut motility

• Soothes the gastrointestinal lining, reducing discomfort associated with gut inflammation

• Acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria

Psyllium is used in human gut health products (you may know it as the active ingredient in Fybogel) for exactly the same reasons. It’s increasingly used in specialist dog foods precisely because it addresses the underlying digestive mechanics rather than just removing irritants.

Why Turkey as the Protein?

Turkey is one of the most easily digestible poultry proteins available, and is less commonly used in everyday dog food than chicken. This makes it a useful protein for dogs who may have developed a mild sensitivity to chicken over time, a very common pattern in dogs who’ve been fed chicken-based food for years. Turkey also has a naturally lower fat content than many other proteins, which further reduces the digestive load.

The Full Recipe - What’s in It

Turkey Gastro is cold pressed at under 45°C, preserving more natural nutrients than standard kibble and producing a food that breaks down gradually in the stomach rather than expanding. The full recipe includes:

• Turkey (36%) — lean, easily digestible primary protein

• Sweet potato (27%) & potato (20%) — grain-free carbohydrates for gentle energy

• Psyllium husks & seeds — the defining ingredient; natural soluble fibre for gut motility and stool consistency

• Goose fat (5%) — naturally digestible fat source for palatability

• Joint care blend — glucosamine (0.1%), collagen (0.08%), green lipped mussel (0.05%), chondroitin sulphate (0.05%)

• No grains, no artificial additives. Crude protein 26%, crude fat 10.2%, crude fibre 3.9%

  
  

The crude fibre content (3.9%) is higher than our other cold pressed recipes (2.7%), a direct result of the psyllium husks content and entirely safe for all adult dogs.

Who Is Turkey Gastro For?

Turkey Gastro is the right choice for dogs with persistent loose stools or irregular digestion that hasn’t fully resolved on other sensitive stomach foods, IBS-type symptoms (unpredictable digestion, alternating loose and normal stools), dogs recovering from gut issues or a course of antibiotics that disrupted the gut microbiome, dogs with a mild chicken sensitivity who need a poultry-based cold pressed option, and owners who want the most digestively targeted recipe in the cold pressed range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before I see improvement on Turkey Gastro? Most owners with dogs prone to loose stools see noticeable improvement within 2–4 weeks. Transition gradually over 7 days from the previous food — a sudden switch can temporarily worsen digestive symptoms regardless of the quality of the new food.

Is the higher fibre content safe? Yes. The 3.9% crude fibre in Turkey Gastro (vs 2.7% in other cold pressed recipes) is a natural result of the psyllium husks and is safe for all adult dogs. For most dogs with digestive issues, the higher fibre is actively beneficial

Is this suitable for dogs with a chicken allergy? Yes. Turkey Gastro contains no chicken or chicken-derived ingredients. Turkey and chicken are different proteins — it’s safe for dogs with a confirmed chicken intolerance.

My dog’s vet has recommended a specialist diet — can I use this instead? Always follow your vet’s advice on diet, particularly for diagnosed conditions. Turkey Gastro is a high-quality, specialist digestive support recipe but isn’t a prescription diet. For dogs with diagnosed IBD, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency or other medical digestive conditions, veterinary prescription food may be required.
