The well-being of animals is key for us
Enjoying a worry-free day in a lazyboy chair in our office in Turku, Finland, is none other than Effe-dog! Usually, the more the merrier, but not always, as Viva the mixed-breed scored the second-best place on the floor next to the chair. Effe is a Basenji, and the breed’s strong character can be seen in the daily allocation of sleeping spots 🙂 Even though these office helpers don’t have to hurry, our workdays are filled with anything and everything. We bring everything we know, and all our energy, to make sure pets can enjoy as long and healthy lives as possible, bringing them and their owners more golden moments.

Food safety
Food safety is often associated with the food being safe to consume, and that there are no health risks. Unknown substances or their remains can be found in nearly every foodstuff, and might arise naturally with decay. Impurities can be e.g. biochemical substances, which might result in health issues, depending on their type. Also, the type of impurity affects the edibility of the product. For known substances, there are levels which are used to define the maximum amount for the product in question. Our producers do regular checks to ensure that these levels are not exceeded in the products. For example, we want to make sure that the oils do not contain heavy metals, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) or dioxin. Also, the products undergo microbiological analysis, which indicates possible harmful micro organisms.
At Effe Balance, we focus on taking care of pets in a simple and high-quality way, so you can focus on the essential; The golden moments alongside your pet. Our goals also include packaging materials and processes, with which we can make sure that daily use of Effektri never causes any risk to animals from unwanted, environmentally harmful impurities, such as dioxin or dioxin-like PCB-combinations, or adverse reactions caused by the oxidation of oils.
