Food Labels
For a new pet owner, deciding on the right pet
food to purchase can seem like a daunting task. Should they buy a food based on
the cost? The ingredients? The health benefits? Pet food terminology alone can
be overwhelming. Consider all of these terms that a pet owner might find on a bag of food.
Food labels and the terminology used will differ by country, and will evolve over time as customer preferences change. It is important, therefore, to find trusted resources to share with your clients to help them make informed decisions.
