As a result, more than a third worry their pooch does not have a nutritious diet - with six in ten admitting to regularly feeding their pet 'human' food
Millions of dog owners have no idea what's in their pet's food, according to research. A poll of 2,000 dog owners found 48 per cent could only name up to three ingredients when quizzed on what they feed their dog.
The study was commissioned by Butternut Box, which has unveiled an edible billboard in a South London park, to highlight the need for fresh and healthy nutrition for dogs. The fresh dog food brand's in-house vet, Dr Ciara Clarke, said: “Food is such an important factor when it comes to our dogs living long, healthy, and happy lives.
“A lot of manufacturers avoid stating that they use these sorts of ingredients – so it’s best to practice caution when it comes to vague references to ingredients.” Price is the deciding factor for 45 per cent of owners when choosing which dog food to buy, while 13 per cent are swayed by the packaging alone.
As a result, 61 per cent of dog parents feed their beloved pooch “human” food at least once a week – with a quarter of owners admitting they feel guilt-tripped into sharing their meals. But the study, carried out through OnePoll, found 23 per cent do so because they believe fresh, human-quality food is better for their dog.
