History

At SEITZ, we have represented species-appropriate and balanced pet food for dogs and cats for over 40 years.

Right from the start, the happiness of people and animals has been our priority and is firmly anchored in our corporate mission.

Family instead
of company

At SEITZ, we see ourselves as a family and work towards a common goal. Responsible interaction, partnership and humanity are important to us.

The experience, talents and skills of our team and our shared attachment to animals and their owners inspire us anew every day.
