GranataPet review 2026: premium dog food and cat food compared

The short answer

GranataPet offers high-quality wet and dry food with a high meat content, transparent recipes and special varieties for sensitive animals. The wet food in particular does well in tests.

• Wet food with about 60 to 65 % meat content in some varieties
• Many varieties grain-free and without added sugar
• Pomegranate seeds and green-lipped mussel as a special feature
• Produced in Germany and Austria, brand from the Allgäu region

Have you ever wondered whether premium food from the Allgäu really lives up to what the packaging promises? Or whether it is just good marketing? When I tried GranataPet for the first time, my picky gourmet Flicky promptly tested three bowls: two licked clean, one left as if freshly washed. A good sign and the start of this review.

Here you will learn where the brand's strengths lie, which varieties are particularly worthwhile, what to look out for in the declaration and ingredients, and which dogs and cats GranataPet suits best.

GranataPet at a glance

GranataPet comes from the Allgäu region and focuses on natural ingredients, grain-free recipes and a close link between product development and real pets. The driving force is Markus Fuchsenthaler. His work began with an allergic dog and the wish for food that is better tolerated. According to the brand, the recipes were tested with their own dogs, not in animal experiments.

Production takes place in Germany and Austria, which keeps supply chains short and makes quality control easier. The brand emphasises regional raw materials and does without sugar and soy in many recipes. You can buy the food in pet shops, in online shops or directly in the GranataPet online shop.

In the premium segment, GranataPet stands out with grain-free ingredient lists, additives such as green-lipped mussel and a focus on food-grade quality. Many discount or supermarket brands, on the other hand, rely more on grain as a filler.

Range and special features

The focus is on high-quality wet food, complemented by dry food and snacks. Product sizes range from sample portions to trial packs, so you can check how well it is tolerated before buying larger packs.

The pomegranate seeds are above all a brand trademark. They do not replace the main protein source and are aimed more at image and mild functional effects than at large amounts of nutrients. Green-lipped mussel provides natural substances similar to glucosamine and chondroitin and can be useful for older dogs or dogs with sensitive joints. The brand largely avoids artificial colourings and flavourings.

Wet food: meat content and varieties

In tests, some varieties come in at about 60 to 65 percent meat. The recipes often mix fresh meat with meat meal or dried meat, and there are variants with chicken, beef, pheasant and game. A high percentage alone does not tell the whole story, though: offal provides vitamins, bone meal provides calcium, and the exact type of meat is decisive for allergies.

GranataPet usually declares openly, so the animal ingredients are clearly stated on the pack. With 70 to 80 percent moisture, the wet food ensures a good water intake, especially for dogs who do not drink much. Omega-3 oils and green-lipped mussel are often listed too.

The Liebling's Mahlzeit variety, for example, is available as pheasant & poultry or chicken & parsnips, and tests named it test winner several times. The pheasant variant has about 60 to 65 percent meat and contains no grain or sugar, while beef variants with a stronger flavour suit active dogs with high protein needs.

For puppies there are junior and puppy recipes with more energy, an adjusted calcium to phosphorus ratio and more easily digestible meat sources. If your puppy shows allergies, choose a variety with a clear declaration and without unnecessary fillers.

Dry food: fresh meat and oils

Many dry food varieties contain a significant amount of fresh muscle meat, often listed separately on the declaration from meat meal as a concentrated protein source. A high fresh meat content plus additional meat meal usually means more real meat per portion.

The Natural Taste poultry variety relies on chicken or turkey, is grain-free and contains no fillers. Other main varieties are game & buffalo, beef as well as junior and senior formulas. Look at protein content, fat and crude ash, which say a lot about energy and digestibility.

Declaration and comparison

For many varieties, GranataPet states meat content in percent as well as broth or moisture content, and some show fresh meat separately from dried meat meal. For some products, however, the exact type of poultry is missing, which can be relevant for sensitive dogs. Pay particular attention to terms such as "meat meal" or "muscle meat", as this makes a difference in digestibility and quality.

Compared to Anifit, GranataPet stands out with a very clear declaration. Anifit relies more on raw ingredients and short ingredient lists, GranataPet more often on functional additives. If you need maximum transparency for every protein source, take a look at the PUR line, where the information is often more specific.

If your dog has special allergies or stomach problems, talk to your vet before changing food.

Experiences, price and discount code

Several test reports rate GranataPet positively, especially the wet food, which often does better than many dry food brands. Many owners report that even picky dogs accept the food, small and large breeds alike. The kibbles come in different shapes to suit different snouts. Dogs with sensitive stomachs often tolerate the sugar-free and grain-free recipes better.

Seniors benefit from recipes with green-lipped mussel, and there are separate variants for puppies; check that they are labelled as complete food. For Flicky, by the way, we use a mix of wet and dry food.

Value for money depends on the line and format. Wet food often offers better ingredients per euro, but costs more per portion than cheap dry food. The current codes from our GranataPet coupon page:
