Is my dog ​​getting good or bad food?

Our certified nutritionists examine the food ingredients in great detail and convey the basic principles of species-appropriate nutrition.

Many food manufacturers promise: One food – and your dog will be healthy and happy. But the reality is often different. Not everything that sounds high-quality at first glance actually meets the requirements of a species-appropriate diet.

Have you ever read the label on your dog food carefully? Do you understand what terms like "animal by-products" or "nutritional additives" mean? Without the appropriate knowledge, an ingredients list can easily be misleading—many ingredients sound healthier than they actually are.

A widely cited study by Lippert & Sapy (1998-2002) points to a clear connection between feeding industrial feed and a reduced life expectancy in dogs. Many wet foods also fail to meet the requirements for high-quality nutrition – even when recommended by veterinarians. You can find out why this is the case in the food check.

Our certified nutritionists carefully analyze your dog's food and transparently show you which nutrients it actually contains – and which it doesn't. We teach the basic principles of species-appropriate dog nutrition to help you make informed decisions.

Do you think your dog is getting good food?

We hear that often - and yet the analysis often shows a different picture.

• Do you know how many dry and wet foods are actually produced?
• Do you know the meaning of "nutritional additives"?
• Do you know how terms like "meat content" or "by-products" can be misleading?
• Do you know why many dogs develop tartar, itching, diarrhea, or poor digestion? despite seemingly good nutrition?
• Do you know which ingredients contain hidden sugar?
• Do you know why many dry foods are very unhealthy?
• Do you know why many additives don't have to be declared?

If you can answer all of these questions with a definite yes, you probably don't need our food check. However, if you are unsure or would like to take a closer look at your dog's diet, the food check by our certified dog nutritionists is an important first step towards more knowledge, better feeding, and a better quality of life for your dog. Because you are responsible for their health – and it's never too late to start.
