Description
In this session, we will explore the ethical and environmental concerns surrounding how we feed our pets, including the ecological paw print of keeping pets in the first place. We will examine pet owner motivations when it comes to how they feed their pets, how marketing and consumer trends are shaping the pet food and veterinary industries, as well as delve deep into current feeding trends to see if they stand up to nutritional, sustainable and ethical scrutiny. We'll discuss the rising trend of vegetarian and vegan diets for pets. What are the pros, cons and risks involved in feeding dogs and cats a plant based diet often based on our own moral interests? We'll also look at the pet food chain, for raw and cooked food. What's the difference? What are 'meat and animal derivatives' and why does it matter? What are the true indicators of quality when reading pet food labels and why does 'quality' mean different things to different stakeholders. Confused about the pet food industry and recommending what's right? Then this is the webinar for you.
