Natural wet dog food: FreshHome stews

Some dogs dive into their bowl, and some look at it, sniff it and walk away. If yours is one of the latter, you are not alone: many dogs eat better when their food smells and tastes like real food. That is where natural wet dog food comes in, and in particular our FreshHome stews, with 97% fresh meat slowly cooked.

What is natural wet dog food?

It is food that keeps much of its water: a soft texture, a strong aroma and juicy bites. It is “natural” when it is made with recognisable ingredients and without artificial colours or flavourings. It has three clear advantages over a bowl of dry food alone:

  1. Tastier: the smell and texture encourage even picky eaters.
  2. More hydration: it provides water with the meal, useful for dogs that drink little.
  3. More variety: changing protein or texture breaks the routine of the same bowl every day.

FreshHome stews: slowly cooked, just like at home

FreshHome stews are slowly cooked, just as you would make a stew at home, but with a recipe designed for dogs:

  • 97% fresh meat, slowly cooked, in a 280 g tray.
  • Complete food: you can serve them on their own, with nothing else added.
  • Natural and balanced: no artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings.
  • Suitable for sensitive stomachs.
  • For dogs of any age.
  • 6 recipes so they never get bored: chicken, duck, pork, pork ear, fish and beef.

How to prepare a FreshHome stew for your dog

Three ways to serve a stew

  1. As a complete meal. Open, serve and done. Ideal for days when you want to treat them, or for dogs that no longer accept dry food.
  2. As a topper for dry food. One or two spoonfuls on top of their usual food and the bowl changes completely. It is the easiest way to get them to finish it all. If you combine them, reduce the dry food a little so you do not overdo the calories.
  3. To vary the protein. If they always eat chicken, try duck or fish. Variety helps keep mealtimes a good moment.
