Dog food manufacturing that incorporates rosemary is considered one of the optimal choices for supporting canine health, thanks to its wide range of benefits.
In this article, we introduce the advantages of rosemary and the key points to consider when developing dog food recipes that include this natural herb.

Benefits of Rosemary in Dog Food

ローズマリーがもたらす恩恵

Rosemary is not merely an aromatic culinary herb. This multifunctional botanical ingredient plays an important role in the production of natural, additive-free dog food.

Note: Dog food containing rosemary should be avoided for dogs with epilepsy.

Natural Antioxidant Properties

Rosemary contains powerful antioxidants that help support immune function.
For example, polyphenols found in rosemary are reported to help suppress allergic reactions.

In addition, vitamin E—also present in rosemary—has strong antioxidant properties that support immune health and help protect dogs from illness and disease.
For this reason, rosemary is commonly included as a natural ingredient in premium dog food formulations.

Supports Digestive Health

A healthy digestive system is essential for maintaining overall canine health, and rosemary plays an important role in supporting it.

This natural ingredient has antibacterial properties that help balance intestinal microflora. By supporting a healthy gastrointestinal tract, rosemary promotes nutrient absorption and improves digestive efficiency.

Enhances Palatability

Dog food formulated with natural ingredients is often said to have less aroma.
By adding rosemary, manufacturers can enhance the flavor profile of dog food, making it more appetizing and increasing palatability for dogs.

A Proven Pet Food Exporting Nation

According to the Thai Pet Food Trade Association (TPFA), Thailand’s pet food exports exceeded 65 billion THB in 2021, representing a 27% year-on-year increase and ranking Thailand as the world’s third-largest pet food exporter.

The top five export destinations for Thai pet food are the United States, Japan, Italy, Malaysia, and Australia, with growing demand also seen in Asian markets such as India, Indonesia, and Laos.

By July 2022, exports had already increased by 43% year-on-year, demonstrating continued strong growth.

TPFA President Dr. Chanintr Chalisarapong has stated that Thailand’s long history in canned tuna production—accounting for roughly 20% of global output—has contributed significantly to the expansion of wet pet food manufacturing in the country.

Easy Access to High-Quality Ingredients

Approximately 95% of ingredients used in Thai pet food production—including fresh meat, grains, and seafood—are sourced domestically, further strengthening Thailand’s manufacturing and export competitiveness.

Thailand’s diverse climate and fertile land allow for the production of a wide range of agricultural products such as grains, vegetables, and fruits.
In addition, Thailand has a well-developed livestock industry, providing access to fresh, high-quality, human-grade meat. As a coastal nation, Thailand also benefits from abundant human-grade seafood resources widely used in pet food production.

Cost Advantages

Thailand is known for its relatively low production costs compared with Japan, Europe, and North America. These advantages stem from lower labor costs and efficient access to raw materials.

For companies planning to develop new pet food products, this is a significant benefit. Lower manufacturing costs help maintain competitive pricing while delivering high-quality products to the market.
