Our gently air-dried horse menu is a particularly suitable meal for allergy sufferers and sensitive dogs, consisting of 80% horse meat and offal, combined with fresh vegetables and tasty fruits. Enhanced with valuable, natural minerals and valuable sunflower oil.
As an alternative for on-the-go and for those who do not have refrigeration facilities, we offer our air-dried menus. We use the same healthy and fresh ingredients for our dry menus as we do for our fresh menus.
For our air-dried horse menu, we use only fresh ingredients from food production in our in-house manufacturing facility. High-quality horse meat, horse hearts, and horse liver form the basis of this menu. Enhanced with digestible parsnips, healthy carrots, young peas, fresh apples, nutritious broccoli, and blueberries, as well as sunflower oil, rose hips, algae lime, seaweed meal, and brewer's yeast, an air-dried menu full of valuable nutrients, vitamins, and minerals is created directly from the original ingredients.

Horse Meat (57%)
Horse meat is rich in vitamin A, which plays an important role in vision and the development of your dog's skin, teeth, and bones. The iron contained in the meat supports the transport of oxygen in the blood, and the copper supports your dog's metabolism. Horse meat also contains a high sodium content, which contributes to regulating the body's water balance.
Horse Hearts (20%)
Horse heart consists mainly of muscles. The fat content serves as a flavor carrier, a source of energy, and supports the absorption of important vitamins. Additionally, it provides high-quality biotin and potassium.
Horse Liver (3%)
Horse liver contains larger amounts of vitamin A, B1, B2, B12, C, and D, as well as iron. Liver is relatively low in fat and rich in protein, making it generally well tolerated.
Parsnips (5%)
Parsnips contain high-quality fiber and vitamins. Their nutrients regulate digestion and can thus have a positive effect on the immune system. Additionally, parsnips provide high-quality carbohydrates and protein. Parsnips are particularly suitable for allergic dogs.
Carrots (4%)
In addition to energy, fibre and low calories, carrots are healthy because they are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A and biotin are particularly worth mentioning here. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body.
Peas (4%)
Peas contain many vitamins. In addition to beta-carotene, peas are particularly rich in B vitamins and also contain vitamin C. Peas also score highly in terms of minerals: Magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc make them a particularly healthy vegetable side dish.
Apples (2%)
Apples are suitable for a healthy diet because they contain many vitamins, minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, pectins and polyphenols.
Sunflower Oil (2%)
Sunflower oil is an important source of vitamin E, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and essential fatty acids.
Broccoli (1,5%)
Broccoli contains some vitamins in particularly high concentrations: vitamin C, vitamin K and beta-carotene. Broccoli is also much better than many other vegetables when it comes to minerals. For example, broccoli provides significant amounts of calcium, iron and copper.
Rosehip (0.5%)
In addition to vitamin C, rosehips also contain numerous other ingredients that have a positive effect on health. These include: Fruit acids, essential oils, pectins, tannins, silicic acid, the antioxidants lycopene and flavonoids, the vitamins provitamin A, vitamin B1 and B2 as well as vitamin E, the minerals zinc, copper, sodium, phosphorus, iron, calcium and magnesium.
Algae Lime (0.5%)
Algae lime consists of deposits of red algae. It contains mainly calcium carbonate, as well as magnesium carbonate and trace elements (boron, iodine, silicic acid) and thus prevents a deficiency of minerals and trace elements. The high calcium content supports the stability of bones and teeth and balances out the excess phosphorus from meat feeding, which can otherwise lead to kidney problems.
Blueberries (0.2%)
Blueberries are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. They also have less fruit sugar than other fruits and are therefore also suitable for dogs with diabetes. They are full of vitamins C, A, B, and E and contain a high proportion of minerals such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.
Brewer's Yeast (0.2%)
Brewer's yeast contains lots of vitamins and minerals and is also a good source of protein. It also stimulates the metabolism and helps to keep blood sugar levels constant.
Seaweed Powder (0.1%)
Seaweed meal contains many minerals such as zinc and carotenoids which support the skin metabolism and the pigmentation of the coat, nose and paw pads. The amino acid lysine it contains optimises feed conversion; cellulose and mannitol support digestion.

Unlike conventional dry foods, which are mass-produced mainly from inferior ingredients such as animal meals and vegetable by-products and extruded at high temperatures, our dry menus are gently air-dried in our factory. Our air-drying technology is a modern interpretation of centuries-old meat preservation techniques.
Through our gentle manufacturing process and the use of only fresh meat, offal, vegetables, fruits, and oils, essential nutrients contained directly in the original ingredients are preserved, allowing us to avoid artificial vitamins.
No high temperatures, no animal meals, no vegetable by-products, no fillers, no artificial vitamin additives, no extrusion, no sterilized cans.
The result: A healthy dry food with all the nutrients from the fresh original ingredients, which tastes and smells as good as it looks.
100% natural and 0% artificial additives. Developed with veterinarians and made with love.
FIDELIS' air-dried dog food was developed to combine the best of raw and fresh nutrition with the safe convenience of dry food. An alternative to our fresh menus, for on-the-go and for those who don't have refrigeration options.
Simply portion and serve!
Daily Feeding Guide
Puppies up to 8 months: approximately 3-4% of body weight
Dogs up to 15 kg: approximately 1-1.5% of body weight
Dogs over 15 kg: approximately 1-1.5% of body weight
Example: A 20 kg dog with a recommended daily allowance of 1% would need 200g of food per day (20 kg * 1% = 200g).
Please Note:
These are guidelines for healthy, active, non-neutered dogs. Individual needs may vary by up to 50% based on age, breed, or activity level.
Adjust the amount of food based on your dog's individual needs to maintain a healthy weight.
Transitioning to FIDELIS
FIDELIS recommends switching your dog's food immediately. Skip one meal (preferably in the evening) and start with our food at the next meal. Feed a single flavour for the first 7 days to allow your dog's stomach to adjust. After two weeks, you can alternate between different flavours.
