Nutritionally complete gives the idea of just that. That's all they need- period.The claim I was referring to is the "balanced and complete" claim. Human foods vary tremendously more than pet foods. A chef salad is nothing like chicken alfredo. That kind of variety doesn't exist in pet foods. They just aren't just that different even across brands.
Plus, When you feed kibbles, the majority of people, you feed for months, and months, if not for years.
Do you eat chef salad, and nothing else, at all every meal, for that long? As long as a pet owner feeds ONE brand of kibbles to their pets? If you did, what would happen to you? That is my point here - that would not be a nutritionally balanced and complete diet, even though it might be a nutritionally balanced meal.
My point is, if you can't make that claim, don't - it is misleading and not a true claim - therefore, it should not be made IMHO.
