Made in Bavaria

Quality controlled by master butchers for home-cooked taste and aroma.

100% human-grade quality - uncompromising from day one

As a pioneer in the pet industry, Terra Canis revolutionised the standard for species-appropriate nutrition in 2005: We were the first to use only 100% human-grade quality for all ingredients for dog and cat food. What we take for granted was a novelty at the time - made possible by a special licence from the government of Upper Bavaria and the partnership with the traditional Munich butcher's Schäbitz.

Like home-made - visible, smellable, tasteable

Every Terra Canis meal looks and smells freshly cooked - not by chance, but the result of careful recipe development by vets and master butchers. They can contain:

• whole pieces of meat instead of meat and bone meal

• Fresh vegetables and fruit with a high vitamin content

• healthy herbs and superfoods for the immune system

• high-quality oils such as salmon or coconut oil for skin, coat and brain performance

Our products are modelled on home-cooked meals - only better controlled, better tolerated and fully declared.

100 % green electricity

More than 100,000 menu donations annually

Transparency and trust instead of marketing claims

With us, you know what goes into your dog’s bowl. We do not use animal by-products of unclear origin, artificial additives or fillers. Instead, we guarantee:

• Open declaration of all ingredients

• Monoprotein recipes, ideal for allergies or intolerances

• Ingredients that are authorised for human consumption at the time of processing

This not only creates trust - but real safety.

Born out of love - grown out of responsibility

The idea for Terra Canis came from a personal story: Our founder Birgitta Ornau rescued her first dog Sueño from a Spanish euthanasia centre - and realised that no dog food on the market met her ethical, sensory and quality requirements. Her indignation turned into a mission: to create the best food she could wish for her pet. 

This attitude still characterises us today - emotionally, honestly and responsibly. 

Customer relationships instead of customer loyalty

We listen, we learn, we act. Our dialogue with our customers is part of our DNA. Your feedback flows directly into product developments, service improvements and new projects.

Our mission: not just to deliver good food - but a genuine experience that creates trust.

Conclusion: Terra Canis is more than just dog food

It is a promise.

Of quality. Of transparency. Of animal welfare.

And to all those for whom a dog is not "just an animal", but a member of the family.

The unique success story of Terra Canis

2005
Founding of Terra Canis
In order to provide her own sick dog with the best possible nutrition, the founder created the first dog menus from 100% human-grade quality for all ingredients in collaboration with the Munich butcher's Schäbitz.
2010
Expansion of the range according to individual requirements
In addition to classic and grain-free menus, a puppy food line was introduced and later other lines such as Senior, Hypoallergenic and Light. In addition, the first cat menus were created using 100% human-grade quality for all ingredients from Terra Felis.
2011
Christmas menu for dogs
Since the first Terra Canis festive menu, four-legged friends can also enjoy a Christmas menu during the holidays. This has been an essential part of the Terra Canis calendar ever since.
2012
Exclusive Oktoberfest menu
The debut of the Oktoberfest menu for dogs on the occasion of the Munich Oktoberfest was followed by annual festival delicacies for four-legged friends.
2015
Introduction of dry food and nutritional supplements
Canireo is the first dry food made from 100% human-grade quality for all ingredients, which is also very popular as a snack. In addition to other snacks, supplements such as Herbal Heroes, Oils and Pastes were gradually introduced.
2017
In-house production in Petershausen
The ground-breaking ceremony for the company's own production facility in Petershausen near Munich marked a new era. A year and a half later, all the master butchers moved into the new production facility, where the tasty menus are still cooked today.
2025
Terra Canis celebrates 20 years
It is now 20 years since the first dog menus made from 100% human-grade quality for all ingredients saw the light of day. Years full of new products and further developments, with many more exciting years to come.

FAQs

Since 2005, Terra Canis has stood for uncompromising 100% human-grade quality in all ingredients – a rarity in the pet industry. We only use ingredients that are authorised for human consumption at the time of processing. Our products are manufactured in our own facility near Munich, under strict food standards and backed by decades of butchery expertise. The result: maximum safety, exceptional quality and complete peace of mind at every meal.
You can see, smell and feel the difference as soon as you open the tin: whole pieces of meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, natural herbs and high-quality oils. Our menus look and taste like home-cooked meals – because, in essence, they are. This natural quality not only ensures that they are highly enjoyable, but also well tolerated and full of nutrients.
Yes - particularly so. Our Single Protein Recipes and the open, honest declaration of all ingredients make Terra Canis ideal for dogs with allergies or intolerances. You always know exactly what’s in your dog’s bowl – without compromise.
Terra Canis was born out of genuine love. The brand was created because founder Birgitta Ornau could not find any food that met her ethical and quality requirements for food for her rescued dogs. This personal history characterises Terra Canis to this day: honest, responsible and with genuine dedication to animal welfare.
Sustainability is not a trend for us, but a basic principle: 100% green electricity, fully recyclable packaging, social projects and at least 100,000 donated menus for animals in need every year. With every can of Terra Canis you are not only opting for premium quality - but also making a positive contribution to the world.
