Organic Explained

With ever increasing health trends we as humans often look at our plate and decide that we need to make changes to either lower cholesterol or the amount of fat we take into our bodies. We though as pet owners sometimes forget that our dog`s bowls/plates also need to be re-tuned at times too. The Doggy-Deli range of organic ingredients used in our dog treats promotes healthy coats, teeth, and muscles and has the potential to increase a dog’s life span and energy. I feel that it is important for all of us "dog owners" to compare dog treats, biscuits and other foods to be sure that we are providing our pets with the best possible nutrition.

To make any comparisons with dog foods, we need to firstly understand the descriptions dog food companies put on their products and their terms of sale.

The foods we produce at The Doggy-Deli are solely made from using Organic Ingredients, thus meaning they are produced without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers and do not use any genetically modified organisms or additives. This allows for the purest produce and meat that is available for consumption.

Some dog food companies have different levels of organic ingredients in their products and are regulated by different countries codes and conditions I.E Dog foods that are marketed as “100% Organic” must contain 100% organically produced ingredients, aside from added water and salt.

Products created by The Doggy-Deli (within the UK) for which we market as “Organic” must contain 95% organic ingredients, aside from water and salt. Any foods that contain less than 95% organic ingredients must state that they are “Made with Organic Ingredients.” We at The Doggy-Deli go above and beyond the 95% requirement by ever only using Organic Ingredients (excluding water and salt).

 In conclusion it is important to compare dog food before feeding it to your dog. Whether you decide on organic or high-protein products, the quality of your dog’s food is important. It will extend the life span of your pet; save on vet bills, and makes for a happier, healthy dog.
