Selection of flavors

There are many brands of Labrador dog food on the market that have flavors, such as beef flavor, chicken flavor and so on. But do you know how much beef or chicken is in the pet food label when it says it contains beef or chicken?

In fact, the list of ingredients in professional pet food is by weight. Arranged from largest to smallest. For example, if chicken comes first on a label list, it means that chicken is the main ingredient in the pet food and is present in higher amounts than other ingredients. Therefore, be sure to pay attention to the ingredient ratio in the ingredient list when purchasing. If a certain Labrador dog food says chicken flavor, chicken is not the first in the ingredient ratio behind it. , it proves that this Labrador dog food is not high in chicken.

The Secret of Labels

For the Labrador Retriever's dog food, we all directly unpack the bag, grab it out and give it to the dog. No one will look at the dense small print on the back of the bag, but, you know, those small prints are the yardstick for the quality of this Labrador's dog food. But can you tell how much of an ingredient is in a pet food just by looking at the label?

In fact, the labeling rules for professional pet food are stricter than those for human food. For example, a person eating a strawberry cookie may contain only a small amount of strawberries. A dog food called a beef dog meal must be 95% beef. Pet food labels labeled chicken meal or lamb meal only need to contain 25% chicken or lamb, while pet food labeled duck and potato meal must contain more than 25% of the sum of the two ingredients, which contains at least 25% chicken or lamb. 3% potatoes.

A pet food formula labeled contains beef must contain at least 3% beef. Also, if the label says chicken flavor, then as long as there's enough in it for pets to taste chicken, people don't really need to tell the difference. Regardless of the ingredients, as long as they are stated on the label, then the ingredients must meet the above requirements.

Container

Since it is in bulk, special attention should be paid to the container for bulk grain. Many small shops just take a bag or a large bucket and store it. Such Labrador dog food is very poorly sealed and not hygienic. Professional bulk containers should be selected, which have a strong seal (even if they are close together, they will not smell).

Hygiene

In many places, owners don't know what kind of flavor their pets like, so they want their dogs to taste every flavor, so the owner grabs a handful for the dog. Eating, this seems generous, but it is very unhygienic. Pet shop owners should be asked to wear disposable hygiene gloves for weighing.

Date
