According a recent survey commissioned by PETCO, 60 percent of pet owners say they need better information to choose healthy food for their pets.
That’s why PETCO has launched a national pet nutrition education campaign for consumers which includes educational materials, pet nutrition guidance and a minimum of two trained nutrition experts in every one of PETCO’s 950 stores nationwide to help guide consumers to make smart decisions for their pets needs. Coming up on November 14th, a team of experts will hold pet nutrition workshops at 2 pm in every PETCO store nationwide to help consumers choose the right food for their pets. And, for those who can’t make it, these tools can also be accessed online by following this link, so consumers don’t have to wait to start learning about pet nutrition.
According to the survey results, nearly 80 percent of pet parents are confident their pet’s food is healthy and nutritious, but only four in 10 say they understand pet food labels. Results also show that whether choosing food for their families or their pets, most Americans are paying attention to nutritional value, especially considering how many pets are treated as members of the family. However, despite these good intentions, the survey highlighted a significant disconnect between pet parent confidence in the nutritional value of their pet’s food and their ability to evaluate pet food value by reading package labels.
PETCO’s national pet nutrition education campaign for consumers is an effort to promote better nutrition and long healthy lives for pets. Visit your local PETCO on November 14th or check out this helpful graphic!
