Why tradidog is more than just food – it is trust, science and Swiss quality There are many products in the world of pet nutrition—but only a few that are based on genuine experience, scientific depth, and uncompromising quality. tradidog is one of these few. Because every one of our products is the result of a combination of over 30 years of experience , veterinary expertise , scientific research , and Swiss precision . Experience meets science Our recipes are the result of three strong pillars: Veterinarians who, with their practical knowledge from clinical and everyday life, know exactly the needs of dogs. Animal nutritionists who ensure optimal nutrition based on current studies. And our own experience from over three decades in which we have learned what dogs really need – and what works. This expertise flows into every product. And not superficially, but profoundly and thoroughly . Over 130 scientific trials – for our herbal blends Our herbal blends are not random products. They are based on over 130 scientific studies investigating the effects of individual plants and their combinations on dogs. These included: Digestion, immune system and vitality are specifically analyzed, researched the synergistic effects of whole plants , and long-term tolerability is documented. We do not use isolated extracts , but whole plants in order to preserve the full power of nature – including secondary plant substances such as flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins and alkaloids , which are significantly more effective when combined than when taken in isolation. Over 200 scientific studies – for our flax seeds Our flaxseed products are also based on over 200 scientific studies . Thanks to our patented extrusion process, the flaxseeds are processed in such a way that: the bioavailability of omega-3 fatty acids is massively increased, anti-nutritional substances are neutralized , and the utilization by the dog's body is optimized . The result: maximum effectiveness with optimal tolerability – even for sensitive dogs. Laboratory tested – for safety you can feel Every batch of our products is tested in independent Swiss laboratories . We check: the purity of the raw materials , the exact nutrient composition , and microbiological safety . This way we guarantee you a product that is not only natural but also sustainably safe – day after day. Made in Switzerland – with responsibility Our production takes place entirely in Switzerland – under the highest quality standards and with a clear focus on sustainability. This means for you: Short transport routes , less CO₂ Transparent origin of all ingredients Fair working conditions and regional added value Reliable quality – Swiss Made Because we believe: Quality begins where responsibility is lived.

The full power of nature

Why our herbal blends are more than just a trend In a world where animal health is increasingly viewed holistically, natural food supplements are becoming increasingly important. At tradidog, we have been relying on the power of nature for over 30 years – and on scientifically tested herbal blends that have proven effective in practice. Our herbal formulas are based on decades of experience in animal nutrition and have been scientifically tested and refined over the years. Each blend is the result of research, practical experience, and a deep understanding of dogs' needs. Based on proven concepts Our herbal blends aren't random products. They're based on proven recipes whose effects on digestion, the immune system, and vitality have been proven through studies. We deliberately use whole plants rather than isolated extracts – because nature's most powerful effect is in synergy. [bonza.dog] “The combination of secondary plant substances such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and saponins develops a synergistic effect that goes far beyond their individual effects.” – Association of German Animal Naturopaths [tierheilpraktiker.de] Highest raw material quality – tested and certified Our herbs come exclusively from certified suppliers who meet the highest quality standards. Each batch is carefully tested in the laboratory to ensure only the best goes into our products. We do not use extracts or synthetic additives – just 100% natural ingredients that meet our strict product specifications. Holistic. Natural. Effective. Using whole plants allows us to preserve the full range of active ingredients, including: Flavonoids – antioxidant and anti-inflammatory Saponins – immunomodulatory Alkaloids – metabolism activating Polyphenols – cell-protective These substances do not work in isolation , but in natural interaction – just as nature intended. Supplement situationally – instead of throwing away food Another advantage of our herbal mixtures: They allow for targeted, situational supplementation without having to change the basic feed. Whether it is coat change, stress, digestive problems or age-related issues – our mixtures help to provide targeted support without: having to stop eating the usual food Throwing away leftovers to move your dog unnecessarily This is not only practical – but also sustainable . According to studies , millions of tons of pet food are thrown away in Europe every year, often due to intolerances or food changes. [hundepower.de] The difference is in the details What makes our herbal blends special: Synergistic recipes – each ingredient enhances the other Long-term tolerance – suitable for long-term feeding Individual effect – tailored to life phase and health condition No habituation effects – the effect remains tradidog herbal blends – the full power of nature, scientifically tested and developed with decades of experience. Because your dog deserves more than just food – he deserves natural health in his bowl.

Packaged with heart: How tradidog and the BSZ Foundation live inclusion together

by Kim Rüegge on Sep 01 2025
At tradidog, it's not just about high-quality products for our four-legged friends – it's also about values. About responsibility. And about the people who make a real difference with their work. That's why we're especially proud of our partnership with the BSZ Foundation in Schübelbach , an organization dedicated to the integration of people with disabilities. The BSZ Foundation offers people with physical or mental disabilities not only a secure workplace, but also meaningful work, recognition, and a degree of independence. In Schübelbach, the foundation's employees play a very special role for tradidog: They package our products – carefully, reliably, and with a great deal of passion. What seems obvious to many is a significant step toward participation for the BSZ employees. Every box, every label, every piece of packaging tells a story of appreciation, trust, and community . Working at tradidog not only gives them structure and responsibility, but also the feeling of being needed—and that's priceless. For us at tradidog, this collaboration is far more than a logistical solution. It's an expression of our ethos: We believe in an inclusive society where everyone has their place. The BSZ Foundation demonstrates every day how this can be achieved – with patience, empathy, and a strong team spirit. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all BSZ employees. You are a valuable part of our mission to bring our products into the world not just well, but also well-made . Together, we create more than just packaging—we create perspectives.

The full power of flaxseed – thanks to patented extrusion

by Kim Rüegge on Apr 05 2025
Why our technology makes the difference Flaxseeds are a true superfood—rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and secondary plant compounds. However, they only develop their full potential with proper processing. At tradidog, we use a patented extrusion process that significantly improves bioavailability and makes flaxseeds optimally usable for dogs. What makes our extrusion so special? In a thermophysical process , the flaxseeds are treated under controlled heat and pressure. the hard seed shell is opened up so that the valuable ingredients become accessible, Anti-nutritive substances such as hydrogen cyanide are neutralized , which increases tolerance, and the fatty acids and mucilage contained are released in a form that the dog's body can directly utilize . [garant.co.at] The result: up to 80% higher bioavailability compared to conventionally processed flaxseed. [tradilin.ch] The comparison: Extruded vs. other shapes form Bioavailability Risks Special features Whole flax seeds Very low Are often excreted undigested Fiber acts mechanically crushed flaxseed Medium Release of hydrogen cyanide possible Nutrients accessible but sensitive Ground flaxseeds Medium to good Susceptible to oxidation, short shelf life Good effect, but only fresh Psyllium husks High (for digestion) No Omega-3, purely fiber effect Ideal for diarrhea/constipation Extruded flax seeds Very high No known risks when used correctly Maximum nutrient availability, safe & stable Why not just psyllium husks? Psyllium husks are excellent for digestive regulation – they bind water, form mucilage, and help with diarrhea or constipation. However, they do not provide omega-3 fatty acids , mucilage for skin care, or secondary plant substances such as lignans or polyphenols. [vetura.de] Flax seeds, on the other hand, offer: Omega-3 fatty acids for skin, coat and cell protection Mucilages for gastrointestinal soothing Fiber for the intestinal flora Antioxidants for the immune system And thanks to our extrusion technology, these active ingredients are fully available and safe . Conclusion: Technology meets nature Our patented extrusion process transforms a traditional raw material into a high-quality, functional feed element . It combines scientific precision with the power of nature – for nutrition that works.
