The origins
In 1765, Nikolaus Müller established a small grain mill in Wehringen on the River Singold. Six generations later, the first highly-digestible food for dogs was manufactured there. Today we have two in-house laboratories, a large team of vets and apply strict quality standards. So we can be sure that your dog really does receive only the very best. Every day. At a second facility nearby, we produce food for adults and babies.
From field to bowl
At Goood, the production of our high-quality premium dog food is a meticulous process that begins with the selection of top-quality ingredients. Our partners supply the raw materials, which are then checked for quality by our staff. We use gentle processing methods, treating the ingredients with heat and steam to make them digestible and ensure they keep well.
Stages in the manufacturing process at Goood Pet Food
From the careful selection of suppliers right through to the finishing touches on the croquettes, our premium dog food undergoes various stages of production to ensure the highest quality.
Farm
Our partner farms take a responsible approach to rearing animals and growing plant-based raw materials. The ingredients are carefully selected by our partners and then delivered to us.
Delivery
We carefully check and weigh the raw materials before grinding and mixing all the ingredients. Smaller ingredients are added by hand.
Milling and mixing
The raw materials for our premium pet food are carefully weighed out and thoroughly mixed in accordance with the recipe specifications. The mixture is then finely ground and mixed again, before being held in the holding tank until the next stage of production.
Thermostufenmix®
The finished mixture from the feed hopper is first preheated whilst steam is added; in the next stage, it is processed in the extruder whilst water and steam are added, and then shaped into the desired croquette form. During this process, the croquettes reach a core temperature of at least 90°C.
Finishing
After extrusion, the croquettes are fed into a dryer. They are then coated with oils and antioxidants in accordance with the recipe specifications. Once the coating process is complete, the feed is cooled to ambient temperature.
Packing
The croquettes pass through a metal detector once more and are checked for quality in the company’s own laboratory. Finally, the Goood pet food is packaged in a practical manner.
