What is Pappa Fresh

Real food, formulated by a vet

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.

Made in Italy

Why Italian makes the difference

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.

  • Mastery of vasocottura

    Gentle cooking in a sealed pouch: nutrients preserved.

  • Traceable Italian supply chain

    Human-grade ingredients, full traceability.

  • Made and shipped from Italy

    From our production to your door, with no middlemen.

What food can do

Digestion, hydration, coat and breath

What our recipes do, and what depends on other things. Every guide lists its sources.

Digestion

Real meat as the first ingredient, a single animal protein and few ingredients, steam-cooked in their own pouch: a recipe that's easy to digest. Gas also depends on how you switch food: do it over 7-10 days.

Hydration

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.

Coat

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.

Breath

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.

“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.”
