About FRESCO

FRESCO Dog Foods GmbH is a provider specializing in dog food, headquartered in Lünen. The product range includes FrischBarf (raw food), NassBarf (wet BARF), TrockenBarf (dry BARF), BarfWurst, complete foods of the unico line, training snacks, chew snacks, oils and nutritional supplements. The FrischBarf range is gently preserved via the HPP process (High Pressure Processing) through high-pressure pasteurization at 5000 bar, killing germs while preserving nutrients. Dry food and TrockenBarf are pre-cooked or slowly air-dried from fresh ingredients; NassBarf products are steam-cooked. The recipes are based on muscle meat, offal, calcium bones, fruit and vegetables, some as monoprotein products according to FEDIAF guidelines. Distribution takes place via the company's own online shop with a freshness subscription model, via retailers and via its own retail stores. A cooperation line exists with dog professional Martin Rütter (FrischBarf by Martin Rütter, training bones, chew sticks).
