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.

• Skin and coat. Why almost every product does the same thing

  Omega-3 carries the category; biotin and zinc stand beside it almost everywhere. Why we rate no amount for those two, what a seasonal moult has to do with it, and how to spot an oil you can actually calculate with.

• 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.

• 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.
