PFMA is aware of the recent study by a student at Nottingham University Vet School using DNA testing to identify protein sources in pet food and comparing this with the information provided on the pet food label. We very much welcome this study and the opportunity to talk about pet food labelling as it highlights a common and very reasonable misunderstanding of how pet food labelling legislation works. We hope with this additional background we can help clarify and explain some of the outcomes of the research.

Following last night’s episode of ‘Trust Me I’m a Vet’, PFMA would like to reassure pet owners that they should not be concerned about arsenic levels in fish based pet food

Following a recent genomics study of the new Coronavirus, and a hypothesis around the role of stray dogs in initiating it, PFMA takes a look at the latest science.

Excellent to see Nicole Paley quoted in this BBC News article about a Transport & Environment (T&E) Study looking into the diversion of important pet food ingredients to biofuels, which will ultimately be worse for the planet. The story also got a mention on this morning’s Today Programme. Nicole explains that these animal fats are valuable ingredients, which are hard to replace and they are already put to good use by our industry in a very sustainable way.
