Most pet owners have come to realize that there is a science to reading the labels of the food they buy for their pets. Although some loose rules are set out by regulators mandating the information that must be included on a label, these rules don’t really result in consumer-friendly information for the pet-food purchaser. Furthermore, most pet owners do not know these rules, and manufacturers can manipulate them to present their products in the best light. It is possible, however, to learn a few of the most common tricks about labeling, to allow the best choice of foods. Veterinarians can serve as an excellent source for this information if they understand the basic principles themselves.
I have never understood all the mumbo-jumbo on pet food labels. It just seemed like they were TRYING to confuse me with their weird alien language. Well, not anymore! I have overcome the language barrier and decoded their words for a better understanding of what is good for my Miss Kitty and what only appears to be. Never again will I be fooled by cute packaging or commercials! I will turn to the back and know the TRUTH! Hehehehehe!
