Tribal Senior/Light Chicken Cold Pressed Dog Food | Fresh Pressed™ Natural Recipe
Tribal has pioneered a genuinely different approach to dog nutrition with its Fresh Pressed™ process — a method that sits squarely between raw feeding and conventional kibble, drawing the best from both worlds. Rather than using dried meat meal stripped of goodness under intense heat, Tribal uses fresh, free-run chicken gently cooked at low temperatures before cold pressing. The result is a hypoallergenic, highly digestible food that retains its original nutritional value, locks in natural flavour, and is specifically formulated for senior and light-needs dogs requiring lower calories, easier digestion, and active joint support.
Key Benefits
- Fresh Pressed™ process — fresh chicken gently cooked at low temperatures, not dried meat meal, preserving far more natural nutrition and flavour than conventional kibble
- Supports senior joints — a meaningful dose of Glucosamine (2000mg/kg), Chondroitin Sulphate (1250mg/kg), and Green Lipped Mussel (750mg/kg) to protect cartilage and maintain active mobility
- Gentle on sensitive stomachs — hypoallergenic recipe that doesn't swell in the gut, breaking down slowly to release nutrients without bloating or digestive upset
- Single protein, hypoallergenic — fresh free-run chicken as the lead protein, ideal for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies
- Lower calorie for weight management — formulated for senior or less active dogs, with a dedicated weight loss feeding guide to support healthy body condition
- Rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6 — from chicken fat and hydrolysed fish protein, supporting healthy skin and a glossy coat
- Prebiotic support — Inulin (FOS) included to nourish beneficial gut bacteria and promote digestive health
- Natural herbal blend — Parsley, Rosemary, Nettle, Chamomile, Sage, Thyme, Coriander, Dandelion, and Liquorice for a wholesome, functional recipe

🐾 Kimi's Expert Verdict
Tribal's Fresh Pressed™ range occupies a genuinely compelling niche in the premium dog food market, and this Senior/Light Chicken recipe is one of the strongest examples of what the brand does well. The fundamental difference — using fresh chicken rather than dried meat meal — isn't just a marketing point: it results in a measurably more nutritious, more digestible product that many dogs, especially those with sensitive systems or a history of tummy troubles, respond to remarkably well. For senior dogs, the joint care complex is a standout feature: 2000mg/kg of Glucosamine combined with Chondroitin and Green Lipped Mussel is a genuinely therapeutic dose, not a token inclusion. The lower calorie profile and dedicated weight loss feeding guide make this equally practical for dogs needing to shed a few kilos. Sweet potato as the primary carbohydrate source provides slow-release energy without blood sugar spikes, while the herbal blend adds functional depth rarely seen at this price point. If you have an older dog, a dog prone to weight gain, or one that has struggled with conventional kibble, this deserves a place at the top of your shortlist. Highly recommended.
