Regional product
If an ingredient in dog food is labeled "regional product", this means that this ingredient comes exclusively from a specific region. This can be the case for various reasons. On the one hand, it can be about the quality of the ingredient - some regions are known for certain products that are of particularly high quality there due to the climate, soil or agricultural practices.
On the other hand, it can also be a sign that the manufacturer values sustainability and environmental protection. By sourcing ingredients from the region, long transportation routes are avoided, which reduces the food's carbon footprint.
For you as a dog owner, "regional product" can also mean that the food is fresher as it doesn't have to be transported for long distances. It can also ensure better traceability of ingredients as the place of origin is clearly defined.
However, it is important to note that "regional product" does not automatically mean that the food is of higher quality or healthier for your dog. It is always advisable to check the entire ingredient list and nutritional composition to ensure that the food meets your dog's needs.
