Functional petfoods continue to gain popularity with pet parents because of a simple fact: Food and treats that promise improved health for their animals appeal to consumers. Skin and coat health seem to be particularly important to dog and cat owners.

Dr. Foster and Smith's Premium Plus Bites are liver-flavored treats meant to provide an extra boost for dogs already using skin and coat supplements or to help maintain an already healthy coat.

Why you should read 'Feed Your Pet Right'

I met Drs. Marion Nestle and Malden C. Nesheim, the authors of Feed Your Pet Right (Free Press, 2010), at Petfood Forum 2010. Admittedly, prior to their presentation, I was quite skeptical about what I was going to hear, as both authors were self-proclaimed outsiders to the petfood arena.

However, in anticipation of the start of the program later in 2010, several presentations on the subject were given at the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) meeting in January. Most interesting is how GRAS notifications compare and contrast with the other primary means to allow for use of new ingredients.
