Our Adult Lamb* 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 Adult Lamb 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! As part of the new design, we have also unified the names of the products. You will therefore find our Lamb+Rice dry food under the name Lamb. 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 in 5kg pouches. The other varieties and packaging sizes will also be gradually replaced, probably by April.
Food change We recommend an immediate change of dog food without a transitional phase. Due to the differences in digestibility, mixing PLATINUM Dry Food with another dry food is not advisable.
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 :)

Wally came to us when he was nine weeks old. For the first four weeks, he was fed the food he received from the breeder. However, we were not satisfied, and our little darling didn't like it at all and in the end, he did not want to touch it. We spent several days researching high-quality dry food brands, and finally we settled on Puppy Chicken from PLATINUM. As soon as we opened the bag, we were impressed by the consistency and smell of the food. Wally felt the same way, because he was bouncing up and down and could hardly wait to try it. He absolutely loves it. He almost inhaled the food, which was very unlike him. After just a week, we began to notice changes. Before, he would have very soft faeces 8-10 times a day. Since eating PLATINUM, this has gone down to 2-3 times and they’re solid. He is also much more agile, and his coat has become incredibly soft and shiny. We are often asked about his food. Since he still likes it at nearly six months, we use it as a treat in training. He is still crazy about it. So, we are 100% PLATINUM converts. Thank you for making such a great dry food. There’s nothing better than seeing our dog so happy.

I’ve been using PLATINUM for over a year. My dog tolerates it well and he seems to enjoy it.
It’s always packed carefully and sometimes there’s even an extra treat :)
We have also made use of the telephone advice service - they take their time and provide personal advice.
We are totally satisfied!

Fiona is a very active dog, but she’s also a bit of a princess. Not every food is good enough for her. With PLATINUM, we’ve finally found a food that she really likes to eat. She likes both the wet and dry variety.

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 a little variety, you can easily switch
between all types of PLATINUM food. 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 originally descended from wolves, the digestive tract is designed for meat. Our kibbles are designed in such a way that they can be absorbed easily by any breed from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane and they satisfy the needs of all breeds equally.
Compared to conventional dry food, which is mainly made from meat meal, the slow-cook meat juice method requires at least 70% fresh meat in order to prepare PLATINUM dry food. The difference between meat meal and fresh meat is very huge. In order to obtain meat meal from fresh meat, the fresh meat has to be heated strongly and exposed to high heat for a long time, often also to high pressure. This removes the nutrient-rich meat juice from the fresh meat in addition to the flavor carrier fat. Meat meal therefore is significantly lower in nutrients than fresh meat. We know from cooking that meat juice and fat make the roast a pleasure in the first place, which is why we do not prepare the Sunday roast with meat meal. Thanks to the slow-cook meat juice method, the PLATINUM dry food does not contain any locks or flavors, no coloring or odorous substances and no flavor enhancers.
A healthy senior dog can still be fed with PLATINUM as our food is very easy to digest and the ingredients it contains are of high quality. Please note, however, that the energy expenditure decreases with the age and the amount of food should be reduced if necessary. If an illness is discovered in your older dog, we recommend individual advice from our veterinary department.
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, Adult Beef + Potato, Adult Lamb
+ Rice or rather Adult Iberico + Greens, you can - as long as your
four-legged friend is not aware of any intolerances - chose after your
dog's preferences. Of course, you can also switch between the four
varieties as you wish. Each of our dry foods varaities suppy a healthy
dog with a it needs.
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 dog food is durable for 18 month after production, the wet dog food MENU is durable for 36 month and MENU Mini for 24 months after production.
