10 days for a good gut feeling

Is your dog currently getting dry food?
Then give your dog’s digestion a few days to get used to the fresh food. Simply mix the FreshMenu step by step into the usual food – after around 10 days the transition is complete.

Is your dog already getting wet or fresh food?
Then often no or only a very short transition period is needed.

  1. Bowl filled 25% with FreshMenu – days 1 to 3 of the food transition
    Day 1–3
    25 % FreshMenu

    The start: a quarter FreshMenu, the rest as usual.

  2. Bowl filled 50% with FreshMenu – days 4 to 6 of the food transition
    Day 4–6
    50 % FreshMenu

    Half and half – many dogs now pick out the FreshMenu first.

  3. Bowl filled 75% with FreshMenu – days 7 to 9 of the food transition
    Day 7–9
    75 % FreshMenu

    Almost there: the FreshMenu becomes the main meal.

  4. Bowl filled 100% with FreshMenu – from day 10 of the food transition
    From day 10
    100 % FreshMenu

    Fully switched – from now on it's fresh only.

Why gentle preparation matters so much

Our FreshMenus are gently sous-vide cooked in an aroma pouch. This preserves the natural nutrients and flavour.

The FreshMenus are then frozen. This keeps them fresh for up to two years without any added preservatives.

Delivery, storage & serving: how easy Fresh works

Our FreshMenus are shipped frozen – the gentlest method of preservation. This keeps them fresh without chemical preservatives.

Slightly thawed? No cause for concern

Are your FreshMenus or the cooling packs slightly thawed when you unpack them? Is there a little condensation in the packaging? No cause for concern.

Our packaging is specially designed for chilled shipping and keeps your FreshMenus reliably cool during transport.

Fridge instead of thawing stress

You don't have to freeze all the FreshMenus. Just put a few FreshMenus straight in the fridge. That way you always have a fresh meal on hand for the next few days.

Unopened, the FreshMenus keep in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Store all remaining FreshMenus at −18 °C in the freezer compartment or chest freezer.

How to serve your FreshMenus

Best served at room temperature.

Forgot to thaw? Just place the sealed pouch briefly in a lukewarm water bath. Please do not heat in the microwave.

Convincing in the bowl. And in everyday life.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about FreshMenu Puppy Chicken

Which dogs is FreshMenu Puppy Chicken suitable for?

FreshMenu Puppy Chicken is a complete food for puppies and growing dogs. The high chicken content and growth-focused recipe support the development of muscles, organs and a stable metabolism.

Is FreshMenu Puppy Chicken a complete food?

Yes. It fully supplies your puppy with everything it needs each day – energy, essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. You don't need to supplement anything.

Why such a high chicken content?

For puppies, a high-quality animal protein source is key. We use 67% chicken – muscle meat, heart, stomach and liver. This provides a balanced amino acid profile and important micronutrients for building muscle and organs.

From what age and for how long is the puppy food suitable?

You can start with FreshMenu Puppy after weaning (from around 6–8 weeks). It accompanies your dog through the entire growth phase. When to switch to an Adult FreshMenu depends on the breed: small breeds are usually fully grown at around 10–12 months, large breeds only at 15–24 months.

Is FreshMenu Puppy suitable for small and large breeds?

Yes. The feeding calculator is based on your puppy's expected adult weight and age – so you get the right daily amount for small and large breeds alike. With very large breeds, pay particular attention to steady, not overly fast growth.

How does Puppy Chicken differ from the Adult varieties?

Puppy Chicken is specifically tailored to growth and development: a higher meat and energy content, more calcium and vitamins, plus salmon oil for development. The Adult varieties are designed for the maintenance needs of fully grown dogs.

What's inside – and why tapioca, zucchini & apple?

The base is a high proportion of chicken, complemented by tapioca and sweet potato as readily available energy sources, zucchini and fennel for digestion, and apple and raspberry for natural antioxidants. Salmon and hemp oil provide essential fatty acids. Every ingredient has a purpose – nothing is filler.

How high is the meat content?

FreshMenu Puppy Chicken has a chicken content of 67% – from chicken meat, heart, stomach and liver. With 90 kcal/100 g it provides needs-based energy for the growth phase.

Why do you also use chicken heart, stomach and liver?

Offal are high-quality, food-grade components and naturally provide valuable nutrients – chicken heart, for example, provides taurine, and liver important vitamins and iron. Much like a dog would take in from prey in the wild.

Why are salmon oil and hemp oil included?

Salmon and hemp oil provide essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that the body can't produce itself. They support cell development, brain development, skin and coat – especially important during growth.

Does Puppy Chicken contain natural prebiotics?

Yes. Coconut flour and other fibres serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria and support the development of a healthy, young gut microbiome.

Why are fennel and herbs included?

Fennel provides fibre and mild essential oils and is particularly easy to digest. Herbs round off the recipe with natural plant compounds.

Is FreshMenu Puppy Chicken grain-free?

Yes. Puppy Chicken is grain- and sugar-free. The carbohydrate sources are tapioca and sweet potato – well tolerated and easy to digest. Completely without preservatives, colourings, flavourings or flavour enhancers.

What does minerals mean in the ingredient list?

Every FreshMenu is supplemented with vitamins, minerals and trace elements as needed – via our in-house PreMix. For puppy food, the right calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is especially important. We only add what is genuinely required.

Do I still need to supplement Puppy Chicken?

No. As a complete food, FreshMenu Puppy Chicken fully covers the needs of a healthy, growing dog.

How much FreshMenu Puppy does my puppy need per day?

The amount depends on your puppy's expected adult weight and age. The feeding calculator on this page gives you the right daily amount for the 2–4 month and 5–9 month phases. As puppies grow quickly, you should adjust the amount regularly.

How do I best transition my puppy to FreshMenu?

Give the digestion a few days and mix the FreshMenu into the usual food step by step: days 1–3 around 25%, days 4–6 about 50%, days 7–9 around 75%, and from day 10 onwards 100%. If your puppy already gets wet or fresh food, it can start straight away.

My puppy has softer stools during the transition. Is that normal?

Yes. In the first few days, softer stools, mild flatulence or a changed stool odour can occur. It simply shows that digestion is adjusting to the fresh food – after about a week everything settles.

Can I mix Puppy Chicken with dry food?

For the best tolerability we recommend the FreshMenu as a standalone meal. A clear separation of fresh or wet food and dry food makes digestion easier for the young digestive system.

Can I alternate between different varieties?

During the puppy phase it's best to stick with Puppy Chicken, as it's specifically tailored to growth. Once your dog is fully grown, you can freely combine our Adult varieties – with sensitive dogs, ideally step by step.

How do I store FreshMenu Puppy Chicken?

Unopened: frozen at at least −18 °C, or up to 7 days in the fridge. Opened: up to 2 days in the fridge. FreshMenus you won't feed within the next 7 days are best frozen again.

What temperature should I serve Puppy Chicken at?

Room temperature is ideal. It's gentle on the stomach, and aroma and flavour develop better. Please don't heat it in the microwave; a brief lukewarm water bath in the sealed pouch is enough.

Why are the FreshMenus delivered frozen?

Freezing is one of the gentlest methods of preservation. It keeps freshness and quality intact – completely without preservatives.
