Hohe Qualitätsstandards

Wir verwenden nur Zutaten von Lieferanten, deren Einrichtungen strenge Qualitätsstandards erfüllen. Wir prüfen nicht nur jede einzelne Zutat auf ihre Sicherheit, sondern das gesamte Profil der einzelnen Inhaltsstoffe, um zu gewährleisten, dass dein Tier genau die Nährstoffzusammensetzung erhält, die es braucht.

Jedes Hill's Produkt wird einer abschließenden Sicherheitskontrolle unterzogen, um die Verträglichkeit des Futters für dein Haustier sicherzustellen. Alle fertigen Produkte werden vor der Freigabe genauestens untersucht und auf wichtige Nährstoffe getestet, um eine gleichbleibende Qualität von Beutel zu Beutel für dein Tier zu gewährleisten.
