Good to know....

" Don't be put off by the word veterinary! Many people think there are drugs in veterinary food, but that is absolutely not the case."

" And also don't be fooled by the word veterinary, as if it would only be available through the vet. Veterinary food is not covered by the Veterinary Medicines Act and can therefore be sold freely - at the vet, in pet shops, garden centres and online."

" Only if the composition meets strict requirements - with the same ingredients as in regular food - may it be used for a specific nutritional purpose and the name veterinary diet get."

" The designation ''Veterinary diet' you can think of it as a seal of approval or quality assurance, protecting you from misleading marketing terms."

" Veterinary nutrition is normal maintenance nutrition with a special nutritional purpose but normal maintenance nutrition with a claim is not veterinary nutrition."
