These all hold true in a survey conducted by Packaged Facts earlier this year and reported by Marketing Daily.

Are your petfood labels accurate?
Petfood product names and ingredients can be key factors in a consumer’s decision to buy a particular product. For example, some pet owners may try to avoid gluten or certain protein sources in a petfood to help prevent allergic reactions in their pets; those who remember the melamine-related recalls of 2007 may still scan ingredient labels for the presence of wheat or wheat gluten.
The ingredients and claims listed on a petfood label can be key factors in a consumer’s decision to buy a particular product.
