You can split this over 2 meals
Introducing Fresh Menu: For best digestion we recommend switching gradually over 5–7 days. Start by mixing a small portion of Fresh Menu with your dog’s current food, then increase the Fresh Menu amount each day until fully transitioned. Dogs with sensitive stomachs may benefit from a slower introduction.
A starting point for healthy, active, non-neutered dogs. Individual needs can vary by up to 50% with age, breed or activity – adjust to keep your dog at a healthy weight.

Everything you need to know about feeding Fidelis Fresh Menus.
About Fresh Menu
What is a Fidelis Fresh Menu?
A complete, balanced meal for dogs made with 70% fresh meat and offal, plus vegetables, fruit, natural minerals and quality oils. It's gently steam-cooked in our own kitchen and sealed in a glass jar.
You'll see real chunks of meat and bite-sized veg, not pellets or paste.
Is it a complete food?
Yes. Every Fresh Menu is a complete feed, so you can feed it on its own every day. Most of the nutrients come straight from the fresh ingredients, with a small top-up of vitamin D and trace minerals to make sure each recipe is fully balanced.
You can also use it as a topper to make dry food more exciting.
How is it cooked?
We dice the meat and only lightly mince it, so it keeps its natural chunks. The meat is steam-cooked at 90°C, and the veg and fruit are only blanched to protect heat-sensitive vitamins. Oils, herbs and natural minerals go in at the end.
Every jar is made in our own kitchen using fresh, human-grade ingredients sourced from Europe.
Who developed the recipes?
Our menus were developed with Anita Kröger, a holistic vet and founder of the Centre for Canine Health, who specialises in intolerances, allergies and digestive problems.
Feeding
How much should I feed my dog?
As a starting point, feed about 2–3% of your dog's body weight a day if they weigh up to 15kg, 2–2.5% if they're over 15kg, and around 4% for puppies up to 8 months.
A 10kg dog needs around half a 400g jar a day. Needs vary with age, breed, activity and neutering, so adjust to keep your dog at a healthy weight. Our feeding guide above works it out for you.
How do I switch my dog to Fresh Menu?
Switch gradually over 5–7 days. Mix a little Fresh Menu into your dog's usual food and increase it each day until you're feeding Fresh Menu on its own.
Stick to one flavour for the first 7–14 days, then rotate for variety. A slightly softer stool for the first few days is normal. If it carries on, slow the switch down.
Is it suitable for dogs with sensitive tummies or allergies?
Many owners choose Fresh Menu for dogs with sensitive tummies. Every recipe is different, so check the full ingredient list on each menu if your dog reacts to anything.
If your dog has a diagnosed allergy or medical condition, or is on a diet prescribed by your vet, speak to your vet before switching.
How should I serve it?
Open the jar, spoon it into the bowl and serve at room temperature. To warm it, move it to a bowl first (never microwave the glass jar) and check it isn't hot.
Storage & packaging
Does it need to go in the fridge?
Not until it's opened. Unopened jars keep in a cool, dry cupboard for up to 12 months, with no fridge or freezer needed. Check the best-before date on the lid.
How long does it keep once opened?
Reseal the jar, keep it in the fridge and use within 3–4 days. There are no preservatives, so treat it like any other fresh food.
How does it last 12 months without preservatives?
After cooking, each jar is sealed and sterilised at 120°C, just like a jar of pasta sauce or baby food. That's what keeps it shelf-stable with no artificial preservatives.
Why glass jars?
Glass doesn't affect the taste, leaves no metal or plastic residues, reseals easily and is simple to recycle. Just rinse the jar and put it in your glass recycling, and check your council's guidance for the lid.
Delivery & orders
How much is delivery and how fast is it?
Standard (2–4 working days): £4.99, or free on orders of £49 and over.
Express (1–2 working days): £7.99, or £3.99 on orders of £49 and over.
Order before 2pm, Monday to Friday, and we aim to dispatch the same day.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver to the whole of the UK, including the Scottish Highlands, the Scottish Islands and the Channel Islands, with no extra charge for remote areas.
How long does a box last?
Jars come in boxes of 6. A 20kg dog eats roughly one jar a day, so a box lasts about 6 days. A 10kg dog eats about half a jar a day, so a box lasts around 2 weeks.
Can I return my order?
You can cancel within 14 days of receiving your order. For health and hygiene reasons, jars must be unopened with the seal intact. If anything arrives faulty or damaged, get in touch and we'll put it right.
