About DOG'S LOVE
DOG'S LOVE is the Austrian premium dog food of PetCo GmbH in Vienna, founded by Katharina Miklauz and developed in close cooperation with veterinarians. Its wet and dry ranges include organic, hypoallergenic and grain-free lines, with separate recipes for junior, adult and senior dogs and for particular health needs, and the company treats the open declaration of ingredients — printing what is actually in the food — as the thing that sets it apart.
