Cumbria Constabulary Dog Unit amazed by the results of new Cold-Pressed Dog Food

Cumbria Constabulary’s Dog Section has reported remarkable improvements in the health and well-being of its service dogs following a switch to a new cold-pressed dog food supplied by Sabre Pet Food Wholesale.

In March 2024, Cumbria Constabulary began working with Sabre Pet Food Wholesale in their search for a high-performance dog food that would support the diverse nutritional needs of their hardworking canine team. The Constabulary’s Canine Unit needed a diet that was not only rich in quality and nutrients but also suitable for dogs with varying sensitivities and dietary requirements.

After extensive evaluation of different feeding options, including standard dry kibble and cold-pressed alternatives, staff from the Dog Section selected Alpha Spirit Complete Dry Dog Food – The Only One range, exclusively supplied in the UK by Sabre Pet Food.

“Two members of staff (from our) Dog Section completed some research into the standard of dried dog food. They recognised the benefits of Sabre’s Alpha Spirit range due to the fresh ingredients and cooking methods that preserve the nutritional value of their ingredients,” said a spokesperson from Cumbria Constabulary.

“The other benefits (that attracted us to the food) are that it is meat-meal free and has no added fats or grains, which had previously been causing our dogs to experience a higher percentage of diet-related issues, such as gastroenteritis due to the content and quantity portions.”

Cold-pressed food is known for its gentle preparation method, which retains nutritional integrity and is easier to digest – an important consideration for service dogs who often face unique physical demands.

“Switching foods has enabled our dogs to overcome allergies, and since introducing Sabre’s foods to our dogs, we have experienced fewer dietary issues, consistent weights, glossier coats, and all-around healthier and happier dogs,” the spokesperson continued.

Supplying the UK's Most Deserving Dogs

At Sabre Pet Food, we are incredibly proud to be the official pet food supplier for Cumbria Constabulary – and increasingly, for other police forces across the UK. This partnership is a testament to our founding mission: to deliver premium, biologically appropriate nutrition that helps dogs thrive.

“Supporting service dogs is one of the most meaningful things we do,” said a spokesperson from Sabre. “These incredible animals give so much to our communities, and they deserve a diet that supports them physically and mentally. That’s exactly what Alpha Spirit offers.”

We invite other Service Dog Units and emergency services teams to get in touch and discover the benefits of switching to cold-pressed food tailored to working dogs.
