Antiseptic
When the term "antiseptic" is used in dog nutrition, it means that a certain food or additive is able to inhibit or kill the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses or fungi. This property is particularly important to prevent infections and support your dog's health.
Antiseptic ingredients can help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal problems and boost overall immunity. Typical antiseptic substances in dog food could be herbs such as thyme or oregano, which have natural antimicrobial properties. By incorporating such foods or additives into your dog's diet, you help to keep their digestive system healthy and better protected against disease-causing germs.
