Butchers’ craft
When founder Birgitta Ornau came up with the idea for Terra Canis in 2005, she had a great vision: to make dog food from ingredients in proven 100% human-grade quality in order to offer dogs a similar quality that they find in the wild. Metzgerei Schäbitz, a traditional Bavarian butcher’s shop, shared her vision of high-quality butcher’s products for dogs and received a special permit from the government of Upper Bavaria to produce dog menus in a pure human-grade food company. This signalled the start of the first dog food made of ingredients in 100% human-grade quality.
To this day, Terra Canis has not only revolutionised the dog food market, but has developed from a vision with a small team and grand mission into a medium-sized company with its own production facilities just outside Munich. A team of master butchers, apprentice butchers, master chefs, apprentice bakers and a trainee butcher’s apprentice work here day in day out on filling your pet’s bowl with the best quality and genuine artisan butchery products.
With decades of experience in the food trade and a great deal of attention to detail, our team led by our master butchers ensures the unmistakable quality and incomparably delectable smell of our dog menus through their skills. And you can see and smell this every time you open a can of Terra Canis.
