ABOUT KNOW YOUR PET FOOD

Know Your Pet Food is Paws For Change Foundation project.

PURPOSE OF KYPF:

To share the results of laboratory testing of commercial pet foods, with Pet Parents.

GENERAL PREMISE:

Discovery and exploration of what’s actually contained in a bag or can of commercial pet food, can be challenging. Underwritten by committed Pet Parents who want to validate pet food constituents by using precise laboratory analysis, KYPF is an open access educational platform for those who want to gain more insight into what their furry friends are eating.

WHY TEST PET FOODS?

Should a Pet Parent take a moment to read the label on the bag or can of Pet Food they have at home, they might notice that it does not look like the Nutrition Facts Panel on a product made for human consumption. As such, it can be challenging to ascertain how many grams of carbohydrates, fats and protein their doggy or kitty is receiving, per amount of food served.

Additionally, constituents can appear in commercial Pet Foods which are not disclosed on the label. Hence, comprehensive lab analysis of commercial Pet Foods can help Pet Parents make more informed consumer choices on behalf of their furry friends.
