Borscht — and Beyond: Delickcious and Yevhen Klopotenko launch a new Chef’s Menu for cats and dogs
Delickcious, a premium pet food brand, has teamed up with renowned Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopotenko to launch Chef’s Menu — a brand-new line of wet food for cats and dogs.
The collection features three iconic dishes, loved by many people and now thoughtfully adapted for pets: borscht with beef, for both cats and dogs; paella with chicken and vegetables — a delightful taste for dogs, and liver with apple and cranberry — a gourmet treat for cats.
This isn’t just mealtime — it’s a gastronomic celebration for your pet.
The Chef’s Menu line reimagines pet nutrition, offering wet food that complements daily meals so every cat and dog can savor every bite.
Each recipe was handpicked by Chef Yevhen Klopotenko and adapted by a team of Delickcious experts — nutritionists, veterinarians, and technologists. The ingredients were carefully selected and sourced from across Ukraine, then delivered to our production facility in an ecologically clean region of Lviv.
Every dish preserves authentic texture, taste, and aroma to ensure pets truly enjoy their food. That’s because Delickcious insists on using only high-quality ingredients.
From dozens of initial concepts, five were shortlisted. After detailed research into ingredients and their nutritional effects, three recipes made it into the final line: Borscht with beef, Paella with chicken and vegetables, and Liver with apple and cranberry.
These are hearty, flavorful additions to your pet’s regular meals — combining real meat pieces with vegetables and fruits for balanced nutrition and irresistible taste.
Borscht with beef includes tender beef, beets, cabbage, carrots, and tomatoes — a Ukrainian classic reimagined for cats and dogs.
Paella with chicken and vegetables blends chicken fillet, rice, carrot, and three kinds of bell pepper in a delicate sauce — a Spanish-inspired delicacy for dogs.
Liver with apple and cranberry offers fragrant, tender meat coated in a soft, rich sauce — an authentic gourmet experience for cats.
Starting in mid-October, the Chef’s Menu will be available in Ukrainian supermarkets, pet stores, and online — and sales have already begun on Delickcious.ua.
The new line will be officially presented on October 18 at Kurazh in Kyiv — a true celebration of flavor for pets and their pet parents.
“This collaboration with Yevhen Klopotenko was both inspiring and a great responsibility for us. We aimed not only to preserve the authenticity, original recipes, and Yevhen’s unique culinary style but also to develop dishes that are safe, nutritious, and delicious for pets,” says Oksana Taras, Brand Lead at Delickcious.
“Many ingredients used in human food aren’t suitable for cats and dogs, so adaptability was crucial. We carefully selected suppliers and raw materials suitable for pet nutrition. The result exceeded expectations — it looks great, tastes amazing, and brings joy. Now, pet parents can treat their furry companions to gourmet delights from Delicious.”
The Chef’s Menu line is defined by its high meat content and a balanced mix of vitamins A, D3, and E, along with zinc — supporting pet health, immunity, and shiny coats.
Yevhen Klopotenko is known for transforming food culture in Ukraine, while Delickcious continues to make mealtime more joyful for pets. The brand supports the trend of pet food humanisation and promotes a culture of mindful indulgence.
This line was created to turn everyday feeding into a festive ritual — a way to share the joy of taste with your furry friend.
Just imagine: borscht may be your favorite dish, and now it can be your pet’s too — made just for them.
