Finding a quality pet food is often easier said than done. One of the reasons selecting a pet food can be so challenging is due to the unique ‘language’ of pet food, a language that is VERY different than the language of human food. Terms and ingredients that we (pet owners) are familiar with in our food often mean something completely different in a pet food.
To trust your pet’s life with a pet food, it is often necessary to become bilingual; speaking ‘pet food language’ as well as human food language.
TruthaboutPetFood.com is providing a booklet for pet owners that translates some of the pet food language into commonly understood language.

Please feel free to share the booklet with other pet owners.
Hoping it helps you speak pet food –
