PFMA
(Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association) is the principle trade
body representing the UK pet food industry. Their 50 members account
for over 90% of the market. Member companies produce foods for cats,
dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals.
“Providing a good quality, nutritionally balanced diet
is the single most important thing an owner can do for the long-term
health of their pet. At the PFMA website, we aim to arm pet owners
with all the necessary information to learn more about the nutritional
needs of pets and the different foods available.” say
PFMA.
With
this is mind they have produced a free document, available on their
website, called ‘What’s
in pet food’ which tells pet owners about the ingredients
typically used in pet food and why they are used.
The document helps explain terms such as ‘Animal Derivatives’
as well as explaining other ingredients that go into pet foods.
