Title: "How to read and understand a pet food label"

Date/Time: Wednesday, April 11, 2012, at 4 p.m. ET.

Presenter: Dr. William D. Schoenherr, Principal Scientist, R&D Product Development, Hill's Pet Nutrition

Pet owners must be as careful buying food for their animal companions as when buying food for themselves. Nutritional details are listed on bags and cans, just as with human food. But, as often is the case with human food labels, we don't know how to read them or interpret what they mean. This webinar will explore what is listed on a pet food label and give you the tools to help decipher that information for the betterment of your pet.
