(Tray) 6 x fresh menu horse with parsnip (in a jar)

Our menu with 70% gently cooked horse meat, nutrient-rich offal and healthy vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, broccoli, fresh fruit and other valuable ingredients is a hearty and healthy menu for your best friend - particularly suitable for sensitive four-legged friends and dogs with allergies and intolerances.

For our fresh menu with horse, we only use fresh, food-grade ingredients in our in-house production facility. High-quality horse muscle meat and offal are cooked slowly and gently at low temperatures. Only then do we add blanched sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, apples, broccoli, berries and high-quality oils, seeds and natural additives. This ensures that the taste and nutrients are optimally preserved.

No high temperatures, no fillers, no flavour enhancers, no preservatives, no extrusion, no sterilized cans. The result: food like home-cooked - healthy, nutritious and full of flavor. 100% natural, 0% artificial additives.

Our fresh menus all consist of high-quality, fresh ingredients from food production: pure muscle meat and healthy offal, fresh vegetables and fruit, selected oils and herbs, in a carefully balanced ratio, gently steam-cooked - without high temperatures, without high pressure and without preservatives, flavor enhancers and attractants.

However, as many people have no refrigeration facilities, either for space reasons or when on vacation, we thought about how we could preserve our fresh menus without freezing them.

It quickly became clear that sterilization in a tin can was out of the question for us. After all, nobody would think of offering their child food from a tin can - why should it be any different for our dogs? And just because all manufacturers offer canned food doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

The fact that the meat in our fresh menus is pre-cooked using gentle steam cooking means that sterilization can take place at significantly lower temperatures and significantly reduced dwell times in the jar. As a result, the meat remains nice and chunky and is not overcooked into a "mush".

Due to the prior steam cooking, significantly less water escapes during sterilization, which means that the addition of artificial binders, which are used by almost all other can manufacturers, is no longer necessary. The binders used, which do not have to be declared according to the Feedstuffs Ordinance, are potential triggers for allergies or other illnesses.

By using only fresh raw materials without binding agents, our Fresh Menu in a jar smells fresh and delicious and no longer has the typical disgusting smell of "canned food". The gentle preparation also preserves nutrients from the healthy original ingredients much better.

Our fresh meals in a jar have even more advantages over canned food. When using glass, no metal parts or coating residues can come loose and settle in the food. The residues from tin cans in the food can cause cancer and many other diseases. With glass, there are no residues at all. It is not for nothing that baby food is only available in glass.

The jars are also resealable and bad smells from opened cans in the fridge are a thing of the past.
The result: fresh-smelling, healthy, wholesome menus for a species-appropriate, varied and wholesome diet for your dog. Just as practical as canned food, only much better.

Disadvantages of other types of food

What distinguishes FIDELIS fresh menus from other types of dog food?

Dry food (extruded / cold-pressed):
Often rich in cereals, animal meal and hydrogenated fats. Hardly any fresh ingredients. Natural nutrients are lost due to high temperatures, vitamins are artificially added. Often contains preservatives and attractants.

Wet food (canned food):
Mostly low-quality meat waste and artificial additives. Fresh ingredients are almost completely absent. Sterilization at 110-140 °C results in the loss of vitamins and minerals, which are then artificially supplemented. Often containing preservatives and attractants.

B.A.R.F. (raw food):
Raw meat is often heavily contaminated with germs - risk for dog and owner. Often leads to intolerances and health problems. In addition, the protein content of many B.A.R.F. menus is too high.

Feeding recommendation

Young dog up to 8 months: approx. 4 %
Dog up to 15 kg: approx. 2 - 3 %
Dog over 15 kg: approx. 2 - 2.5 %

The % refers to your dog's body weight. Example: A dog with a weight of 20 kg and a recommended daily ration of 2% requires 400 g of food per day.

The following values are guide values for the amount of food for normally active, non-neutered healthy dogs. However, individual requirements may vary by up to 50% from the calculated values due to age, breed or activity. These are only starting points for estimating the daily amount of food.

Change of food

Fidelis recommends an immediate change of food. Skip one meal (preferably in the evening) and start directly with our food at the next meal. Feed a single variety for the first 14 days so that the dog's stomach can get used to the food. After two weeks, we recommend alternating between different flavors.
