When checking a pet meal label, focus on the ingredient list, guaranteed analysis, dietary adequacy statement, feeding guidelines, AAFCO statement, manufacturer information, and expiration date to ensure first-rate suitability for your pet.
When reading pet food labels, pay attention to the ingredients list and make sure a recognizable, high-quality protein, such as chicken or salmon, is listed first. To ensure the feed meets key nutrient requirements, look for Nutritional Adequacy Statements issued by organizations such as AAFCO. Look for guaranteed specific analytical information, such as protein, fat, fiber and moisture content. Finally, consider additional certifications or information, such as: Choose "organic" or "grain-free" to fit your pet's nutritional needs and preferences.
