What is a pet food label? A pet food label is a legal document regulated by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AA,FCO) and is the primary means of communication between the pet food manufacturers and pet owners.
Deciphering the label. Now, after reading the label, you're confused — ingredients versus nutritional facts, guaranteed analysis, an endorsement by AAFCO. What does it all mean?
We understand your frustration and confusion. Therefore, we'll try to help you interpret a pet food label so you can make the best purchasing decision for your cat. Let's start at the top:
Ingredients
Guaranteed Analysis
Young pets may need several visits in their first year for vaccinations. Adult pets generally benefit from annual check-ups, while senior or special-needs pets might require more frequent visits.
Nutritional Adequacy Statement or "AAFCO Statement"
As a cat parent, you should know that nutritional excesses can be as harmful and are more common than nutritional deficiencies.
Manufacturer's Toll-free Number
The package label should contain the manufacturer's name and phone number. We encourage you to call the companies to learn more about their products, including place of manufacturing, actual nutrient content, calories and palatability of your prospective cat food choice.
