Veterinarian Dr. med. vet. Franziska G. explains: Organic dog food
"Organic dog food offers numerous advantages. It is produced under strict legal requirements in accordance with the EC Organic Regulation No. 834/2007 (and successive regulations) and generally contains natural and controlled organic ingredients.
The plant-based ingredients come from organic cultivation and the animal ingredients from ethical farming practices. No artificial pesticides, fertilisers or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are used. This is because these can have a negative effect on a dog's health."

Why artificial additives can be harmful to your dog's health?
Artificial additives can have an impact on dogs’ health. They are often difficult to digest or can lead to undesirable side effects for the following reasons:
- Residues of chemical additives can put a strain on internal organs such as the liver and kidneys.
- They can trigger an allergic reaction, which can lead to skin problems and a dull coat.
- They are harder to digest, and can thus lead to constipation, vomitingvomiting and diarrhoea.
- Artificial flavour enhancers can affect your dog's sense of taste and lead to eating disorders (e.g. constant binge-eating).
