Pet Food Labels/How to Read

INTERPRETING PET FOOD LABELS
Want to know what a pet food label really means?
This link will take you to the Food & Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine.

I have not digested all of the info here but maybe with some discussion...
I will be able to understand the real information behind the words on pet food labels.

Goodness that's heavy reading! This is a great thread though, we've had a lot of "what food is best" questions lately, and I think these kinds of resources are the best way to learn!

I've found these sites very helpful in the label reading as well:

That is a great basic article ... I like the wet food conversions very helpful as I had a vet explain that and went huh??>.

I would love someone to help me understand what the FDA is saying.
I got brain strain when I attempted to apply their info. to Meow Mix Pouches.
