What is Tasty Petfood?
Tasty is fresh food in a jar for dogs.
First, we slowly steam fresh ingredients (meat and offal) at low temperatures. After cooking, blanched vegetables, high-quality oils, and natural minerals are added. This way, not only the taste and texture but also the valuable nutrients from the original ingredients are optimally preserved. The finished mixture is filled into jars. The food is then pasteurized there, which reduces germs and allows the jars to be stored unrefrigerated for 12 months. Our food is not overcooked into a paste but still contains tasty chunks and smells fresh and natural without the typical "canned food smell."
No strong overheating, no fillers, no flavor enhancers, no preservatives.
The result: wholesome, natural dog food that is as high-quality as home-cooked and as uncomplicated as dry food.
How does Tasty Petfood work?
Tasty works in three simple steps – from an individual meal plan to a worry-free subscription:
1. Create a meal plan: You answer a few questions about your dog. Based on this, we calculate the right amount of food and recommend varieties that suit his needs.
2. Receive a trial box: To start, you'll receive a trial box with 6, 12, 18 or 24 jars of 400 g each – put together according to the meal plan. Simply open, serve and test how well your dog tolerates Tasty.
3. Enjoy worry-free: If he likes it, it continues automatically: You regularly receive supplies at the appropriate delivery interval. You can flexibly adjust varieties, quantity and rhythm at any time in your customer account.
What's in your Tasty sample box?
In your Tasty trial box, you'll find 400g jars with selected varieties – tailored to your dog's needs.
Our recipes consist of 70% human-grade meat and offal, supplemented with fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, as well as high-quality oils and natural mineral sources.
We offer six different varieties:
- Chick Chicken: Chicken
- Duck Deluxe: Duck
- Holy Beef: Beef
- Lavish Lamb: Lamb
- Horse Power: Horse
- Supreme Salmon: Salmon
What makes Tasty Petfood special?
Tasty solves the typical conflict between quality and convenience: Cooking for your dog yourself can be nutritious, but it's less convenient. Conventional dog foods (e.g., dry food) are practical to handle, but lose many essential nutrients during the manufacturing process, which then have to be partially replaced with artificial additives. Our jars combine natural, clearly labeled ingredients with gentle processing and a long shelf life – all without refrigeration.
This way you get complete food with preserved nutrients, natural taste and hygienic, sustainable glass packaging.
What is fresh food in a jar and how does it differ from wet and dry food?
Tasty is a new category: fresh ingredients, gently steam-cooked and mildly pasteurized, without intense overheating.
In comparison:
- Wet food is hermetically sealed and sterilized at temperatures up to 130 °C. This significantly alters aroma, vitamins, and textures.
- Dry food is extruded (approx. 150–200 °C). This requires starch as a filler to make the kibble malleable – meat alone is not technologically sufficient. Subsequently, artificial vitamins & fats often have to be sprayed back on.
Tasty, on the other hand, remains natural, chunky, and nutrient-rich – and does not require refrigeration.
Why doesn't your food need refrigeration?
The key lies in the process: We only lightly precook the ingredients and then pasteurize the food in a sealed jar. This gentle heat reliably reduces germs without overcooking the recipe.
Unopened, the jar will keep for a year – without any refrigeration. Once opened, it should be refrigerated.
What advantages does glass have over cans or plastic trays?
Glass is the safest and most honest packaging option for us: it doesn't require aluminum coatings that may contain BPA, it leaves no residue, it's tasteless, and it can be hygienically resealed. Furthermore, it is permanently recyclable.
Does the food contain artificial preservatives or flavorings?
No. We completely avoid artificial preservatives, colors, and flavorings. We only add what is nutritionally necessary—such as vitamin D and selected minerals—to ensure your dog is fully supplied according to FEDIAF guidelines, the guidelines for nutritional standards for pet food in Europe. Shelf life is achieved solely through pasteurization in the jar.
How long does the food last?
Unopened, the food will last for 12 months at normal room temperature. Once opened, it stays fresh in the refrigerator for a maximum of five days. So you don't need a cold chain or a freezer – ideal for small kitchens and on the go.
Who develops the recipes?
Our recipes are developed in collaboration with veterinarians. The goal is to create complete, scientifically sound formulations that reliably work in everyday life.
What ingredients do you use and why this particular combination?
Our recipes consist of natural ingredients that are beneficial for dogs – and nothing else.
The foundation is muscle meat for high-quality proteins, supplemented with offal, which provides essential vitamins and minerals. We combine this with vegetable-based fiber, fresh fruit, herbs, and high-quality oils to cover a complete nutrient profile.
The combination follows three principles:
1. Naturalness: Ingredients that dogs can digest well.
2. Nutritional Depth: Every ingredient has a nutritional purpose – no fillers, no decorative trends.
3. Digestibility: For stable digestion and high acceptance.
In short: every component is deliberately chosen – nothing is "just there" to extend the list.
What does "food quality" mean for your ingredients?
Human-grade means that our ingredients meet the same standards as food for human consumption. They are produced, inspected, and stored according to food standards.
Why is the food grain-free?
Many dry pet foods require grain as a technological "glue" for extrusion, the manufacturing process. Since we don't extrude, we don't need starch as a filler. Our focus is on easy digestibility, natural nutritional depth, and a high proportion of meat, offal, and vegetables. Small amounts of carbohydrates are easily digestible – but they don't have to form the basis of the diet.
How do you guarantee the quality of your food?
We work with a certified manufacturer according to FSSC 22000 standards and rely on gentle processing instead of overheating. Regular laboratory and batch testing, as well as hygienic glass packaging without coatings, ensure safety and transparency.
Is Tasty Petfood a complete feed?
Yes. Tasty Petfood is a complete diet for healthy dogs.
Our recipes are formulated to provide all essential nutrients in the right balance – based on recognized nutritional guidelines (FEDIAF). Additional supplements are not necessary in everyday life.
Where do you source your meat?
Our meat comes from Europe. The countries of origin are mainly Poland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
Our manufacturer works exclusively with established, certified suppliers who meet our quality and safety requirements and are regularly audited.
How much food does my dog need daily?
The optimal amount depends on weight, age, activity, and body type. As a guideline, approximately 2–4% of the dog's body weight per day is a good starting point. Since our food is nutrient-dense, many dogs need slightly less than with classic wet food. After the quiz, you will receive an individual feeding plan, including the optimal feeding amount, which prevents over- and underfeeding. You can create a feeding plan for your dog here.
Note on the calculated feeding amount
Our recommendation is based on the information provided regarding your dog's age, weight, activity, and body type. It serves as a well-founded guideline – however, every dog remains an individual. If you have the impression that the recommended feeding amount is not optimally suited, you can contact us at any time, and we will adjust the amount for you. And if you are unsure or would like support with fine-tuning, our team is always there for you. We are happy to help you further.
What's the best way to switch my dog to Tasty?
It's best to do it slowly and gradually, allowing the gut and microbiome to adapt calmly.
Recommendation:
- Day 1–2: 25% Tasty, 75% previous food
- Day 3–4: 50/50
- Day 5–6: 75% Tasty
- From Day 7 onwards: 100% Tasty
Many dogs tolerate a faster transition, but a gentle approach is usually safer.
Which variety is suitable for my dog?
The right variety primarily depends on your dog's activity level, weight, age, and individual needs:
- Lean (Horse, Chicken): ideal for overweight dogs, seniors, or sensitive dogs. Horse is particularly suitable for very sensitive dogs.
- Balanced (Beef, Lamb): perfect for most normally active dogs.
- Energy-rich (Duck, Salmon): for small, very active, or very lean dogs. Salmon is additionally ideal for skin or coat problems, as it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
You can also regularly rotate several varieties – this provides variety and optimal nutrient supply.
How long does an opened jar of food last?
In the refrigerator: 5 days .
Can I combine Tasty with dry food or BARF?
Yes, that is easily possible. Many of our customers use Tasty as a high-quality topping for dry food – this way, your dog gets additional fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients in their bowl.
Tasty is also a practical solution for those who feed BARF, e.g. when traveling, in everyday life, or when you are in a hurry.
It is only important to adjust the total amount of food so that your dog does not get too much.
How can I tell if my dog is getting the right portion size?
Look for three signals:
- Weight: Stable? Perfect. If it's gaining or losing, we'll adjust the amount.
- Energy level: A well-fed dog appears alert, balanced, and active.
- Stool quality: Smaller, more compact stools are normal with nutrient-rich food and a good sign.
And if you're unsure, feel free to write to us anytime. We'll help you fine-tune the portions.
Is Tasty suitable for all dogs?
Yes. Our recipes are developed to safely nourish dogs of all ages – from puppies to seniors. The combination of high-quality meat, offal, vegetables, oils, and targeted minerals fully covers the daily needs of a healthy dog. Please note, however, that for very young puppies or pregnant or lactating bitches with special nutritional needs, an adjustment of the feeding amount or supplementation may be advisable.
For illnesses: Tasty is not a diet or therapeutic food, but a high-quality base for dogs with sensitive digestion, intolerances, or poor appetite. For chronic conditions such as pancreatitis, kidney problems, or metabolic issues, nutrition should always be vet-supervised.
