Our gently air-dried lamb menu is a particularly suitable meal for allergy sufferers and sensitive dogs, consisting of 80% lamb meat and offal, combined with fresh vegetables and tasty fruits. Enhanced with valuable, natural minerals and valuable salmon 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 menu, we use only fresh ingredients from food production in our in-house manufacturing facility. High-quality lamb meat, lamb offal, and lamb carcasses form the basis of this menu. Enhanced with crunchy sweet potatoes, healthy carrots, young peas, fresh apples, young spinach, and blueberries, as well as salmon 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.

Lamb (80%)
Lamb meat contains many important minerals. In particular, iron, zinc, and niacin are crucial for cell and blood formation. They strengthen the immune system and provide energy for the nervous system. Lamb meat is also very important for bones, as with natural vitamins A, C, D, K, and B12, it strengthens the metabolism of bone formation.
Sweet Potatoes (5%)
According to the American non-profit organisation Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), sweet potatoes are considered to be the healthiest vegetable of all. The greatest benefits of sweet potatoes are their high content of phytochemicals, which protect against free radicals. They are a source of minerals and vitamins and contain a lot of high-quality fibre.
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.
Apples (3,5%)
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.
Peas (2%)
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.
Spinach (2%)
Spinach is a low-calorie vegetable that is rich in the vitamins of the B group and vitamin C, as well as having a high beta-carotene content. The green leafy vegetable also supplies the body with the minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron.
Salmon Oil (1.9%)
Salmon oil is an important source of fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The addition of salmon oil can have some decisive effects that ensure a long and healthy life for your furry friend, e.g. a better coat or faster healing of skin diseases.
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.

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.
