6-Serving Cooked Halloween Fresh Meal - Duck and Venison with Pumpkin (Jar)

Trick or treat? We prefer really good food! Our seasonal Halloween Fresh Menu brings a spookily delicious change of pace to your pet’s bowl: 70% duck & venison—35% each—combined with pumpkin, carrots, apples, zucchini, kale, and fruity blueberries. Pumpkin seeds, brewer’s yeast, rosehip peel, seaweed meal, and seaweed lime round out the recipe, enhanced with high-quality hemp seed oil, wheat germ oil, and rosemary. An autumnal feast for furry friends of all sizes.

And since your outfit has to be just right for Halloween, our menu comes in a Halloween-themed design: pumpkins, bats, a spiderweb, and our dog in a witch’s costume make the jar a real eye-catcher—perfect for the spookiest time of the year.

For our seasonal Halloween Fresh Menu featuring duck and venison, we use only fresh, food-grade ingredients in our in-house production facility. The meat is slowly and gently steam-cooked at low temperatures. Only then do we add the blanched vegetables, fruits, oils, seeds, and herbs—ensuring that flavor, vitamins, and minerals are preserved as much as possible.

No high temperatures, no fillers, no flavor enhancers, no preservatives, no extrusion, no sterilized cans. The result: Food that tastes like homemade—healthy, nutritious, and full of flavor. 100% natural, 0% artificial additives. The only thing that looks scary here is the jar. 👻

All of our fresh meals are made with high-quality, fresh ingredients from food production: Pure lean meat and healthy organ meats, fresh vegetables and fruit, select oils and herbs—all carefully balanced and gently steam-cooked without high temperatures, high pressure, or preservatives, flavor enhancers, or attractants.

However, since many people don't have a way to refrigerate their food—whether due to limited space or because they're on vacation—we've been thinking about how we can preserve the freshness of our meals without freezing them.

It quickly became clear that sterilizing food in a tin can was out of the question for us. After all, no one would ever think of feeding their child food from tin cans—so why should it be any different for our dogs? And just because all manufacturers offer canned food doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good.

Because the meat in our fresh meal options is precooked using a gentle steaming process, it can be sterilized at significantly lower temperatures and with significantly shorter holding times in the jar. This ensures that the meat remains nicely chunky and isn't overcooked into a "mushy mess."

Because the food is pre-steamed, significantly less water is released during sterilization, eliminating the need to add artificial binding agents—which are used by nearly all other can manufacturers. The thickeners used—which, according to the Feed Regulation, do not need to be listed on the label—are potential triggers for allergies or other illnesses.

Because we use only fresh ingredients without any binders, our Fresh Menu in a jar smells fresh and delicious—and no longer has that typical, unpleasant “canned food” smell. In addition, the gentle preparation process helps preserve the nutrients from the healthy original ingredients much better.

Our fresh meals in jars offer even more advantages over canned food. When using glass, no metal particles or coating residues can leach out and end up in the food. Residues from tin cans in food can cause cancer and many other diseases. With glass, there are absolutely no residues. It’s no coincidence that baby food is sold exclusively in glass jars.

The jars are also resealable, so unpleasant odors from opened cans in the fridge are a thing of the past.
The result: fresh-smelling, healthy, nutritionally complete meals for a species-appropriate, varied, and easily digestible diet for your dog. Just as convenient as canned food—only much better.

Disadvantages of Other Types of Food

What sets FIDELIS fresh meals apart from other types of dog food?

Dry food (extruded / cold-pressed):
Often high in grains, animal meal, and hydrogenated fats. Contains very few fresh ingredients. Natural nutrients are lost due to high temperatures, and vitamins are added artificially. Often contains preservatives and flavor enhancers.

Wet food (canned food):
Mostly low-quality meat scraps and artificial additives. Fresh ingredients are almost entirely absent. Sterilization at 110–140 °C causes the loss of vitamins and minerals, which are then artificially supplemented. Often contains preservatives and flavor enhancers.

B.A.R.F. (Raw Food):
Raw meat is often heavily contaminated with bacteria—a risk for both dogs and their owners. It frequently leads to food intolerances and health problems. In addition, the protein content of many B.A.R.F. meals is too high.

Feeding Recommendations

Puppies up to 8 months: approx. 4%
Dogs up to 15 kg: approx. 2–3%
Dogs 15 kg and older: approx. 2–2.5%

The percentage refers to your dog's body weight. Example: A dog weighing 20 kg with a recommended daily intake of 2% needs 400 g of food per day.

The values listed below are guidelines for the amount of food to feed to healthy, non-neutered dogs with normal activity levels. However, individual needs may vary by up to 50% from the calculated values depending on age, breed, or activity level. These are only starting points for estimating the daily amount of food.

Diet Change

Fidelis recommends switching to the new food immediately. Skip one meal (preferably in the evening) and start feeding our food right away at the next meal. Feed a single variety for the first 14 days so your dog’s stomach can get used to the food. After two weeks, we recommend alternating between different flavors.

Shipping & Storage

Our fresh meals in jars are delivered to you in protective packaging containing 6 jars each. For this reason, the minimum order quantity is 6 jars, and orders must be in increments of 6 thereafter. Our fresh meals in jars have a shelf life of at least 1 year. Once opened, we recommend storing the meals in the refrigerator and consuming them within 3 days.
