When it comes to pet food, it’s hard to know what constitutes a ‘quality’ diet when simply looking at the label, however, there are some key things you can look out for when scanning the pack, and, knowing how to read it will grant you access to a variety of important information.

The first thing to know is that ingredients must be listed in order of most to least (in weight) and so most commonly you will find a type of meat or grain at the top. Secondly, if an ingredient is listed as lamb meal, then this means the meat has been dehydrated which concentrates the protein and therefore reduces the need for the amount of meat in the bag or increases the protein levels in the food without having to add more meat. Anything listed as a by-product means the that it may contain any part of the animal that aren’t fit for human consumption (excepting hair, teeth and horns).

Another thing to look for is the nutritional adequacy statement, this states that the product in the bag represents a complete diet for the animal it is intended to feed. The nutritional adequacy statement is also referred to as the AAFCO statement, which means that the food contains all necessary nutrients in the required quantities and is considered a ‘complete diet’.
