Our delicious pork menu is a special treat. It not only includes fresh meat from country pigs but also fresh pig ears that dogs love so much. A menu for true connoisseurs and for dogs with high energy and protein needs.
As a source of carbohydrates, we have chosen the pseudocereal buckwheat. Buckwheat is particularly rich in nutrients and vital substances, containing important amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan in addition to the proteins found in the meat. The menu is complemented with natural minerals, high-quality flaxseed oil, and a touch of fennel.
For our Fresh Pork Menu, we use only fresh, food-grade ingredients in our in-house manufacturing. High-quality pork and pig ears are slowly and gently cooked at low temperatures. Only after that do we add cooked buckwheat, blanched carrots, pumpkin, apples, as well as flaxseed oil, rosehip, algae lime, brewer's yeast, seaweed meal, and fennel to the cooked feed. This ensures that the taste and nutrients from the fresh ingredients are optimally preserved.
No high temperatures, no fillers, no artificial vitamin additives, no extrusion, no sterilized cans. The result: Like home-cooked, healthy food with all the nutrients from the fresh original ingredients, which tastes as good as it looks. 100% natural and 0% additives.

Freshly cooked pork and pig ears (70%)
Cooked pork is rich in proteins that contribute to muscle maintenance, as well as vitamins and minerals such as B-vitamins, iron, and zinc. Cooking makes the meat more digestible, making it suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs. Cooked pork eliminates potential pathogens.
Buckwheat (10%)
Buckwheat is a good addition to canine nutrition as it is gluten-free and an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber. The protein in buckwheat contains all essential amino acids crucial for a healthy dog diet. Additionally, buckwheat is rich in various vitamins and minerals such as B-vitamins, magnesium, and iron, contributing to overall health.
Carrots (7%)
Besides providing energy, fiber, and few calories, carrots are healthy due to being an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Particularly noteworthy are vitamin A and biotin. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.
Pumpkin (6%)
Pumpkin is rich in antioxidants, combating the formation of free radicals. The potassium in pumpkin helps regulate fluid balance, while vitamin B6 contributes to blood formation and the nervous system. Finally, magnesium in pumpkin regulates electrolyte and water balance in the body, ensuring bone stability.
Apple (4%)
Apples are suitable for a healthy diet as they contain many vitamins, minerals, and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, B-vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, pectins, and polyphenols.
Flaxseed oil (1.9%)
Flaxseed oil contains a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids such as Omega-3 or linoleic acid. According to scientific studies, flaxseed oil may prevent and alleviate conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or elevated cholesterol levels. However, actual effects have not been sufficiently proven.
Rosehip (0.4%)
In addition to vitamin C, rosehips contain numerous other substances that positively affect health. These include fruit acids, essential oils, pectins, tannins, silica, the antioxidants lycopene and flavonoids, the vitamins provitamin A, vitamin B1 and B2, as well as vitamin E, and the minerals zinc, copper, sodium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, and magnesium.
Algae lime (0.4%)
Algae lime consists of deposits from red algae. It mainly contains calcium carbonate, as well as magnesium carbonate and trace elements (boron, iodine, silica), preventing a deficiency of minerals and trace elements. The high calcium content supports the stability of bones and teeth, balancing the phosphorus surplus from meat feeding that could otherwise lead to kidney problems.
Brewer's yeast (0.1%)
Brewer's yeast contains numerous vitamins and minerals and is also a good source of protein. Additionally, it stimulates metabolism and helps maintain a constant blood sugar level.
Seaweed meal (0.1%)
Seaweed meal contains many minerals such as zinc and carotenoids that support skin metabolism, fur pigmentation, and paw pad health. The amino acid lysine optimizes feed utilization; cellulose and mannitol support digestion.
Fennel (0.1%)
Fennel is beneficial for dogs as it is a natural source of vitamins such as A, C, and K. It also contains minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium, important for bone and muscle health. Additionally, fennel can help with digestive problems and has a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal tract. However, it is essential to feed fennel in moderation and consult a veterinarian beforehand to ensure it is suitable for the individual dog.
What exactly is gently cooked food? Quite simply: Better food for your dog! Our cooked menus are all made from high-quality, fresh ingredients from food production: Pure muscle meat and healthy offal, fresh vegetables and fruits, selected oils and herbs, as well as a digestible healthy carbohydrate source (rice or sweet potato) together, in a carefully balanced ratio, form complete menus for a species-appropriate, varied, and digestible feeding of your dog.
We consistently avoid artificial additives, preservatives, flavor enhancers, and attractants. While the fresh meat and offal are gently cooked at 90°C, the vegetables and fruits are only blanched, preserving heat-sensitive natural minerals and vitamins.
Only in the final step are high-quality oils and natural ingredients like rosehip powder, seaweed meal, brewer's yeast, and algae calcium added to the menu.
Fidelis Fresh Menus are absolutely unique and simply put: "Better Food" for your dog!
We cook for your dog, just like you would at home.
Disadvantages of Other Types of Food
What are the disadvantages of other types of dog food compared to the cooked Fresh Menus from Fidelis?
Extruded / cold-pressed dry food:
- Is almost always made from a significant proportion of cereals, animal meals, and hardened fats
- Fresh ingredients like meat, offal, and vegetables are used only to a very small extent or not at all
- The extrusion or cold pressing manufacturing process heats the product to very high temperatures, destroying almost all remaining nutrients and minerals
- The vitamins and minerals contained in the food are added to the food in artificial form
- Dry food often contains preservatives and attractants
Wet food / canned food:
- Most manufacturers use low-quality meat and slaughterhouse by-products, plant by-products, and artificial additives for can production
- Fresh ingredients like meat, offal, and vegetables are used only to a very small extent or not at all
- During the sterilization process of the cans in the so-called autoclaves, the food is heated to a temperature of 110 – 140°C, losing a large part of the nutrients and minerals present in the product
- The vitamins and minerals contained in the food are added to the food in artificial form
- Canned food often contains preservatives and attractants
B.A.R.F. (Raw Food)
- The fundamentally good approach to feed your dog with species-appropriate raw food consisting of meat, offal, as well as vegetables and fruits often encounters a major problem in practice: raw, untreated B.A.R.F. products are often contaminated with a high number of germs and bacteria. This not only frequently leads to intolerance or severe digestibility issues in the dog but also poses serious health risks for the owner, as they come into contact with the food during thawing and serving. Enterobacteria and E. coli bacteria can cause severe health problems in both dogs and humans.
- Likewise, the protein content in B.A.R.F. menus is often too high, which can lead to health problems in many dogs.
Feeding Recommendation
Puppy up to 8 months: approx. 4%
Dog up to 15 kg: approx. 2 - 3%
Dog over 15 kg: approx. 2 - 2.5%
The percentage refers to your dog's body weight. For example, a dog weighing 20 kg and a recommended daily ration of 2% needs 400g of food per day.
The following values are guideline amounts for the amount of food for normally active, unneutered healthy dogs. However, individual requirements can deviate up to 50% from the calculated values due to age, breed, or activity. These are just starting points for estimating the daily amount of food.
Transitioning to FIDELIS
Fidelis recommends an immediate transition to our food. Skip one meal (preferably in the evening) and start with our food at the next meal. Feed a single variety for the first 14 days so that your dog's stomach can get used to the food. After two weeks, we recommend feeding different flavors alternately.
Delivery & Storage
Our Fresh Menus are delivered to you frozen and are frozen for approximately 6 months.
