Single-protein recipes formulated by a vet, tailored to your dog, delivered every 4 weeks. Leave the right meal to us — you just get the wagging tail.
One meat source per recipe — beef, chicken, turkey, horse or pork — plus real vegetables, cooked in a vacuum-sealed pouch (vasocottura) and sealed airtight: it keeps for 2 years in the pantry. Ideal for sensitive dogs: you always know what they're eating.
Pappa Fresh is created, cooked and packed in Italy by a specialist pet-food maker. It's more than a label: it's the artisan care of vasocottura — cooking and sterilising the food already sealed inside its pouch — the same craft behind Italy's finest preserves, brought to your dog's bowl.

Dog gas and flatulence: causes and what to do →Our recipes are 66-77% water. In a 2025 study, dogs fed a wet food with 71% water took in 141% of their minimum water requirement in total, against 102% on kibble.

How to prevent dehydration in dogs →Every recipe is a complete food: animal protein (10.6-12.9 g per 100 g), the natural fats of the meat and a vitamin and mineral supplement, the nutrients skin and coat are made of.
Shiny coat: what really matters in the diet →No preservatives, no colourings, no meat meals. But for breath the toothbrush does the real work: the cause is almost always the mouth, not the bowl.
Dog bad breath: where it comes from →Our recipes are formulated by a veterinary nutritionist: balanced and single-protein. The Clinica ARS Veterinaria di Modena recommends the approach.

“We couldn't be happier: we've found the perfect solution, with no effort at all. We open the pouch, tip it into the bowl — so easy. We used to give our Pip kibble and sometimes he just wouldn't touch it; now he's happy and full of energy. Even our vet told us that fresh food like Pappa Fresh is great for his longevity.”
