5 Facts About Prescription Pet Food
Helping pet parents make informed decisions about what goes in their pet's bowl is high on our list of priorities! 🤩
Today we want to share some pet food facts with you about prescription foods. If your furry family is eating a prescription diet, there's a few things you'll want to know! 🏥
🐾 Prescription diets are designed to be easily digestible
🐾 Pets should not be on a prescription food for more than three months
🐾 There is no medicine in prescription foods
🐾 Most contain minimal animal protein which carnivores require for optimal health
🐾 Most have a high percentage of grains, making them a high carb diet
👇 The following list is an example of ingredients in a prescription diet up to the salt.
🧂Salt is 1% of the bag, with some exceptions, which means everything after salt is less than 1%.
👉 Remember, ingredients are listed in order of size, from most to least.
🆘🆘🆘 Ingredient Panel Example 🆘🆘🆘
📝 Brewers rice, chicken fat, corn, corn gluten meal, natural flavors, dried plain beet pulp, wheat gluten, fish oil, powdered cellulose, vegetable oil, potassium chloride, salt...😳
⬆️ Where's the meat? 🥩
⬆️ Brewers rice is used for pet food and dairy feed exclusively, since it is not fit for human consumption 😬
⬆️ Powdered cellulose is made by cooking raw plant fiber - usually wood, which is essentially sawdust
⬆️ The remaining ingredients are mostly plant proteins, which are not sufficient for providing the necessary amino acids required for optimal nutrition
✅ Flip those bags over! Make sure you know what's in your pet's bowl. Nutrition is critical in making and keeping our pets healthy!
