Guides

• Label glossary. The terms on a German feed pack, with worked examples

  Additives per kg, dry matter, crude ash, CFU: what the terms on a label mean, which of them state an amount, and how to turn them into a figure per serving.

• How to turn a label figure into an amount for your pet

  Almost every reference figure is per kilogram of body weight, and almost every label is per serving. Three steps that make them comparable, and the four places it goes wrong.

• Joints in cats. What data exists, and what follows from it

  There are far fewer studies in cats than in dogs, and most products are derived from the dog. Which reference amounts we use, why they are less certain, and how to spot a product actually meant for cats.

• Omega-3 for dogs and cats. Why only EPA and DHA count

  The bottle says oil, the arithmetic runs on EPA and DHA. How much per kilogram makes sense, why plant-based linseed oil delivers something different from fish oil, and how to tell when an oil has gone off.
