Additive free goods for pets

Today, and June 10th annually, is Additive‑Free Pet Goods Day ペットに無添加良品の日 in Japan. It was established by Doggyman Hayashi Co., Ltd., an Osaka‑based company known for producing pet food and pet‑care products. The date comes from the wordplay on 6/10: "mu (6) ten (10) ka" meaning “additive‑free,” reflecting the company’s long‑standing commitment to safe, high‑quality pet items.

The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of additive‑free pet food and to highlight Doggyman’s early efforts in removing preservatives, colorings, curing agents, and antioxidants from their products. Their “Additive‑Free Good Products” series focuses on delivering natural flavor, offering pets the same level of ingredient care that people expect in their own food. The company emphasizes that pets are beloved family members, and therefore unnecessary additives should be avoided.

"Additive Free Pet Goods Day" encourages pet owners across Japan to choose safer, more natural options and to enjoy selecting their pets’ favorite additive‑free products.
