PetCo Group earns top Austrian quality recognition

PetCo Group, the Austrian company known for producing premium pet food with human‑grade ingredients and raw materials sourced mainly from Styria, has been awarded the prestigious ÖGVS seal for the No. 1 quality dog‑food brand in Austria. The recognition comes from the Österreichische Gesellschaft für Verbraucherstudien (ÖGVS), an independent consumer research body renowned for its blind testing, laboratory analyses and satisfaction surveys. Achieving this seal confirms that PetCo Group’s products outperformed competitors under some of the strictest evaluation criteria in the country.

The company’s philosophy centres on thoughtful recipes, carefully selected ingredients and a commitment to transparency. PetCo Group distinguishes itself by avoiding low‑grade meat by‑products, artificial colourants and synthetic preservatives, positioning its products firmly in the high‑quality segment of the European pet food market. This award reinforces the value of that approach, validating the brand’s focus on nutritional integrity and responsible sourcing.

While PetCo Group highlights that the most meaningful feedback comes from pets and their owners, the ÖGVS certification provides an official endorsement of the company’s long‑standing commitment to excellence. It marks an important milestone for a brand that continues to grow while maintaining its core principles: quality, trust and genuine care for animal wellbeing.
