May have anti-inflammatory properties

When the term "may have anti-inflammatory properties" is used in the context of dog food, it means that the food contains ingredients that can help reduce or prevent inflammation in the dog's body. This property is particularly important for dogs with chronic inflammatory diseases, arthritis, allergies or skin problems.

Anti-inflammatory properties in dog food can be achieved through various ingredients

  1. Omega-3 fatty acids: These fatty acids, often found in fish oil and certain vegetable oils, are known for their anti-inflammatory effects.
  2. Antioxidants: Vitamins such as vitamin E and C as well as certain plant substances (e.g. flavonoids) have an antioxidant effect and can reduce inflammatory processes in the body.
  3. Turmeric and other herbs: Some herbs and spices, such as turmeric, have natural anti-inflammatory properties.
  4. Certain vegetables and fruits: Ingredients such as blueberries, sweet potatoes and broccoli can also help to reduce inflammation.

It should be noted, however, that dog foods with anti-inflammatory properties should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment for serious conditions. However, they can be useful as part of a comprehensive health strategy, especially in consultation with a veterinarian.
