What food is safe for my pet? What food is REALLY healthy? Keep
reading to learn seven valuable secrets to finding the absolute best
food for your dog or cat.
Secret #1... All pet foods use descriptive words like choice and
premium, though few of them actually use premium or choice
ingredients. The 'secret' is per the rules of the pet food industry,
no pet food can make any references on their label or advertising as
to quality or grade of ingredients. When related to pet food, the word
'premium' or 'choice' DOES NOT imply that the ingredients in the food
are premium or choice. With pet foods, premium does not (can not)
describe the food nor does it (can it) describe the quality of the
food. It is a marketing term and that is all. Per the industries own
rules regulations, "There are no references to ingredient quality or
grade" (regulation PF5 d 3). So, words like premium, or choice, or
quality are just marketing or sales terms, don't use them to influence
your buying decisions....
