Get to know FSG

What is Fleischsaftgarung (FSG)?

Fleischsaftgarung, or FSG, is a preparation method that originated in gourmet cuisine, similar to the well-known sous-vide method. It was modelled on these techniques that top chefs often use to make meat tastier and also healthier.

We have taken this principle as a model for gently cooking fresh meat in its own nutrient-rich juices. To elevate PLATINUM to the level you'd expect of a high-quality meal – because as members of the family, our furry friends deserve only the best.

Why is fresh meat important?

Fresh meat makes all the difference, and FSG brings out its valuable benefits:

High-quality proteins: Provides protein in an exceptionally high-quality form that your dog can easily digest and optimally utilise.
Naturally juicy and aromatic: Unlike meat and animal meal, fresh meat has an intense natural aroma and can be cooked in its own juices.
Rich in nutrients: The meat juice of fresh meat naturally contains valuable proteins, creatine and iron, which are preserved during FSG preparation.

Whether dry or wet food, the combination of fresh meat and the preparation with FSG creates additional valuable properties that ensure enjoyment without worry.

Dry food prepared with Fleischsaftgarung (FSG):

Soft and Chewy pieces: With at least 18 % residual moisture, only from natural juices within the fresh meat.
Non-swelling: This means no swelling, sluggish food belly, and a reduced risk of stomach torsion (Bloat).
Especially tasty: Even fussy dogs love these meat juicy & delicious pieces.

Wet food prepared with Fleischsaftgarung (FSG):

100% meat juice, 0% watering down: the fresh meat is cooked exclusively in its own juices, without the addition of water or broth.
As rich in nutrients as raw: The FSG method preserves vitamins, minerals and amino acids from fresh meat as effectively as possible.
Nutritious in smaller quantities: As the food is so nutrient-dense and undiluted, a smaller feeding amount is sufficient to provide your dog with optimal nutrition.

How do I switch from conventional dry food to PLATINUM?

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.

Can dogs digest such a high proportion of fresh meat?

Healthy dogs are geared towards a meat-based diet simply because of their teeth and intestinal tract. Canines and fangs are not found in herbivores. A dog's intestine is also optimised for the absorption of nutrients from meat, as it is short — significantly shorter than in humans and many times shorter than in a pure herbivore. The structure of a dog's body therefore leaves us in no doubt that physical well-being and lasting health can be achieved with meat as the main component of the diet.
