Swiss Dog Food: What Dog Owners Should Look Out For

Short distances, traceable production, and trust in Swiss standards: Regionality is, for many dog owners, rightly an important selection criterion.

What does "Swiss dog food" mean?

Terms such as "Switzerland", "Swiss Made" or "Swiss Quality" are legally protected indications of origin. According to the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, Swiss indications of origin may only be used if the respective origin criteria are met.

For transparent classification, dog owners should therefore take a closer look:

• Where was the recipe developed?
  
• Where is the food produced?
  
• Where do the raw materials used come from?
  
• Which company is responsible for labeling and quality?
  

These questions help to distinguish general promises of origin from specific and verifiable information. At dogdog®, the Swiss origin can be clearly identified:

dogdog®: developed and produced in Switzerland

dogdog® is a brand of Granovit AG. The dry food recipes are developed and produced in Switzerland, in Kaiseraugst, Aargau, and are tailored to different life stages, activity levels, and nutritional needs.

The product range includes:

• Puppy and Junior
• Adult
• Sensitive and gluten-free recipes
• Senior

Origin is important – and so is the recipe

A suitable dog food must meet the nutritional needs. Therefore, check:

Life Stage

Puppies need growth food. Adult and senior dogs have different requirements. A promise of origin does not replace suitability for the appropriate life stage.

Activity and Energy Requirements

A sporting or working dog requires a different energy density than a calm family dog. The daily ration must match the body condition.

Protein and Nutrient Supply

It's not just the meat content that matters. The amino acid profile, digestibility, fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals must function as a complete recipe.

Individual Tolerance

Sensitive, gluten-free, or grain-free are selection criteria, but not universally better for every dog. What matters is what the individual dog tolerates.
