Nutritional Myths

Ann Wortinger, LVT, VTS (ECC)

From the Michigan Veterinary Specialists, 21600 West Eleven Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan 49076.

Owners are sometimes confused or misinformed about nutritional facts pertaining to pet foods, and three common nutritional myths have been propagated in the popular press. The first myth is that meat by-products are of inferior quality compared to whole meat. The second myth is that feeding trials are unnecessary, and the third myth is that pet food preservatives are bad. This paper examines the known facts related to these three myths and discusses the importance of food trials and the different classes and forms of antioxidants used in pet foods.
