The guaranteed analysis will list the minimum amount of protein, fat, fiber, and other nutrients in the food. Make sure that the percentages are appropriate for your pet’s age, weight, and activity level.

It’s also important to note that pet food labels are regulated by the FDA, but there are still some loopholes that manufacturers can exploit. When in doubt, consult with a veterinarian to ensure that the food meets your pet’s specific nutritional needs.

When reading cat and dog food labels, it’s important to pay attention to the ingredients list and guaranteed analysis. Look for high-quality protein sources such as chicken, beef, or fish listed as the first ingredient. Avoid foods with fillers such as corn or wheat, and be wary of any ingredients that are difficult to pronounce or understand.
