Our dry food* has been prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung). FSG is a method of preparing fresh meat. It comes from the kitchen rather than the feed industry. It was modelled on techniques that top chefs often use to prepare meat, in a tastier and also healthier way.
With FSG (Fleischsaftgarung), fresh meat is cooked in a vacuum at low temperature, using only its own meat juices. After a long cooking time, during which the moisture of the meat juice is slowly reduced, this dry food is created.
The dry food prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) is primarily cooked meat which means following for your dog:
extra tasty,
as nutritious as BARF,
excellent for building muscle,
quickly digestible,
effectively absorbed and
chewable-soft due to the meat juice.
Our dry food also reduces the risk of gastric torsion because it does not swell in the stomach.
Safe and honest For you, we have our dry food tested regularly and independently by one of the most renowned test centres in Germany, ELAB Analytik GmbH (formerly TÜV SÜD ELAB). What is tested:
Our fresh meat content: Checking recipe compliance at the point of preparation
For contaminants, to protect the health of your best friend
Our declaration
* Our dry dog food prepared with FSG has a new, elegant design, although the preparation method and recipe remain unchanged, of course! However, in order to be environmentally conscious, we are not disposing of the remainder of the previously used pouches, but are of course using them up. The innovative new pouches will therefore gradually replace the old ones - starting with Adult Chicken. The other varieties and packaging sizes will also be gradually replaced

Our experience reports
I have been using PLATINUM for several years. I wanted to change over to completely grain-free dry food, but I reverted regretfully. No other food made his skin and coat as beautiful as PLATINUM Chicken. Our Benny shines, does not smell, doesn't have dandruff and his output is also okay.
I remain impressed by Platinum
and hope that this high-quality food will be around for a long time. Another big plus for me is the really fast delivery. I can't remember ever having waited longer than 3 days.
Sylvia W. with her dog Benny
He used to eat different brands and types of food. However, after a while, the foods wouldn’t agree with him, so we would try another, and this went on for some time.
I switched to PLATINUM over 2 years ago and since then he has never had a problem. He tolerates the food really well, both wet and dry. The main reason I chose PLATINUM was its high meat content. Also, the wet food smells really good and the dry food is slightly soft. It is also very wholesome.
We are very happy that we switched to PLATINUM and will remain loyal customers.
Yvonne A. with her dog Rocky
We have been using PLATINUM wet and dry dog food since we got our dog in 2015. No matter what flavour, she enjoys eating it and tolerates it very well.
Many people notice that Sally has a beautiful shiny coat
and I think this is mainly due to her diet.
We usually add a little “sauce” from the wet food to the dry food, which she really loves :)

We only have positive things to say about this dog food. Jago has a PLATINUM Chicken subscription. He loves to eat the food, which is very good for him.
We’re also really happy with Platinum's excellent service
Heinz-Jürgen M. with his dog Jago
Dear team, we have two Newfoundland who are now five years old. One of them had been getting smaller and smaller open spots under his coat since we bought him, the doctor said it was an allergy to something. We tried the more expensive anti-allergenic food without cereals, gluten etc. However, the ingredients made us suspicious, especially because they didn't stop the allergy. The other dog has had significant problems with his joints from an early age.
After I read an interesting book about the nutrition of wolves, I completely changed my mind. Both now get PLATINUM dry dog food Iberico + Greens in the morning and raw beef, turkey and chicken in the evening.
This combination is excellent! No more allergies for half a year. Joints are no longer an issue either. We also add herbal joint supplements to the food.
And when we travel and can't get hold of fresh meat, we combine the great Iberico + Greens and the practical wet food. Thank you, PLATINUM! We will remain loyal!
If you want to offer your dog some variety, you can easily switch between all PLATINUM foods. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, please contact our customer service for advice on feeding.
It does not matter whether you give wet food in the morning and dry food in the evening, or vice versa. A combination of wet and dry food in one meal is also possible, as both forms of feeding have the same digestibility with PLATINUM.
Every dog is descended from the wolf, and the digestive tract is designed for the consumption of meat. Our dry food and wet food are designed to be easily consumed by all dogs — from Chihuahuas to Great Danes — and meet the needs of all breeds equally. Different sizes of dry food and wet food make it easier to portion out the food. The recipe and composition remain identical in all sizes to ensure consistent quality and optimum nutrition.
Compared to conventional dry food, which is mainly made from meat meal, dog food prepared with FSG requires at least 70% fresh meat (muscle meat) to make PLATINUM dry food. There is a big difference between meat meal and fresh meat. Compared to fresh meat, meat meal is significantly inferior, as it is only produced after repeated heating under high pressure. As a result, meat meal has fewer nutrients, a higher ash content and lower protein digestibility than fresh meat. We know from cooking that meat juices and meat fat are what make a roast dinner a treat — which is why we don't prepare our Sunday roast with meat meal. Thanks to the process of cooking with FSG, PLATINUM dry food is completely free from attractants, flavourings, colourings, odours, and flavour enhancers.
Healthy senior dogs can continue to be fed with PLATINUM, as our food is very easy to digest and the ingredients it contains are of very high quality. Please note, however, that a dog's metabolism decreases with age and the amount of food should be reduced if necessary.
If your dog is diagnosed with a disease in old age, we recommend an individual consultation with our customer service.
We recommend an immediate change in dog food without a transition phase. Due to the different digestibility, it is not recomendable to mix PLATINUM dry food with any other dry food.
No, you can rely on the fact that no animal experiments are done for the product development and production of our food and care products - neither by us, nor by any other third party.
Whether you give your dog Adult Chicken (Mini), Adult Beef (Mini), Adult Lamb (Mini) or Adult Iberico (Mini) depends on your dog's preferences and which flavours they like best. Of course, you can also switch between the three flavours as you wish. Your dog will be optimally supplied with all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals they need with each of our food varieties. We offer smaller kibbles for dogs up to 10 kg with our "Mini" variants.
In principle, a change is possible at any time. Different varieties can also be fed on the same day. However, we recommend feeding the opened bag first. In addition a selection in the bowl should be avoided, especially during the change phase to Platinum or if there are known intolerances.
The dry food can be kept unopened or opened after production for 18 months until the best-before date. The wet food can be kept unopened for 36 months and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days after opening.
All information regarding the minimum shelf life of unopened PLATINUM food can also be found on the product packaging.
