The recent safety concerns regarding cat food have raised public alarm, leading to increased focus on pet health by owners. Choosing pet food is challenging due to inspection difficulties, prompting owners to ensure ingredients meet safety standards, pay attention to nutritional formulas, and adhere to international pet food standards. To provide optimal daily nutrition for pets and maintain their health and quality of life, owners need to thoroughly consider three aspects: 'food selection,' 'feeding concepts,' and 'storage methods.' Chairman of the Taipei Veterinary Medical Association, Yang Hsiao-Po, emphasizes the importance of selecting suitable pet food for their health and quality of life. Veterinary experts suggest that in addition to medication, proper nutrition is essential for a sick pet's recovery. Ensuring pet health requires a 360-degree approach combining dietary management and medical care. In terms of purchasing food, Dr. Chung Sheng-Hua, chairman of the Veterinary Internal Medicine Association, recommends choosing products that comply with US FDA regulations, US AAFCO nutritional standards, or European FEDIAF standards, with reputable international manufacturers like Royal Canin being a safe choice. For example, Royal Canin adopts a scientific approach to pet nutrition research, with over 500 scientists, veterinarians, and nutrition experts in its French research center focusing on product safety as a priority. From raw material procurement to manufacturing quality control, Royal Canin strictly oversees its processes, conducting over 500,000 safety tests globally each year to ensure compliance with the highest international certification standards. All pet food products available in the Taiwanese market are produced in Royal Canin's own factories, emphasizing the importance of data-driven decisions in ensuring product safety and nutritional value.
