Can vegetarian diets deliver complete and balanced nutrition to cats and dogs? asks PFMA

Are food allergies on the increase? Can vegetarian diets deliver complete and balanced nutrition to cats and dogs? PFMA’s Veterinary Nutrition Experts have the answers…

 

In response to demand from industry professionals, PFMA has worked with nutrition experts to develop two new factsheets on the subjects of Vegetarian Diets and Allergies, now available to download pfma.org.uk/fact-sheets

 

Nicole Paley, Deputy Chief Executive, PFMA explains: “We launched our factsheet range just over a year ago to tackle and dispel many of the myths around pet food.  The range now covers sixteen subjects and with over 3,400 downloads, they have proved to be a valuable resource for pet professionals at the front line of pet care.

 

Nicole adds: “We decided to add the Vegetarian Diets Factsheet and Food Allergy and Intolerance Factsheet to our range in response to demand for clarification on these topics.  Owners are exploring alternative diets and whilst cats are obligate carnivores, dogs are omnivores and can adapt to vegetarian diets.  As with all diets, they need to be well-balanced and our factsheet contains top tips.  The Allergy Factsheet explains the difference between allergies and intolerances, which are both adverse food reactions but are very different conditions requiring different advice from veterinary professionals.”

 

The PFMA Factsheets cover a wide range of subjects from ingredients, additives and labeling to raw, homemade and grain-free diets. For more information visit pfma.org.uk/fact-sheets

  • Additives
