2 Tips for Choosing Pet Food - Stop Blindly Buying and Stockpiling!

With so many pet food options available, learning how to choose the best food for your furry friend is crucial for their healthy growth. A professional veterinarian explains two tips: Learn to read the ingredients on pet food packaging to easily choose the right staple food for your furry friend.

Tip 1: [Read the ingredient list and nutritional guarantee analysis]

The ingredient list on the packaging is the first factor owners consider when choosing a food. The first eight items on the ingredient list are the most important. A staple food is considered high in meat only if it contains at least two meat proteins , such as fresh chicken or minced chicken (chicken meal). The additives that follow actually have very little real effect.

The nutritional guarantee analysis is another very important factor. The primary energy sources for cats and dogs are protein, fat, carbohydrates, water, minerals, vitamins, and fiber . By examining the nutritional guarantee analysis, you can clearly understand the nutritional composition of a particular feed. However, please note that the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) only requires listing four items: protein, fat, fiber, and water. Therefore, feed manufacturers may choose not to list other ingredients.

Understanding the nutritional analysis and ingredient list of food will help owners understand whether the food is suitable for their pets, but at the same time, they should also pay attention to whether the ingredients contain harmful proteins or additives!


Tip 2: [Follow the recommended feeding amount]

The recommended feeding amount is usually printed on the food packaging. Remember to read the recommended feeding amount carefully to prevent your pet from gaining weight quickly due to excessive calorie intake.

Finally, let me remind you that there's no "best" pet food on the market; there's only the food that's best for your pet. As parents, we need to carefully understand our pets' needs so we can find the right food for them.
