Pet food safety: how parents check for their furry children

As a parent who loves cute dogs, cats, and cats, I often pay attention to news related to furry children, especially food safety. In recent years, the food safety problems of pet food in Taiwan have repeatedly appeared, and many owners are facing the pain of losing their furry children, which is not only a major trauma in the hearts of pet lovers, but also makes us doubt the pet food on the market. This article will start with the food safety of pet food, discuss how to choose high-quality merchants, and share how mothers can check for their families, especially when it comes to choosing ingredients.

Food safety issues in pet food in Taiwan

According to the Central News Agency, there was a cat hypokalemia incident in April this year, and many owners found that their pets at home were thirsty and urinated, had poor mental appetite, and even died. The whole incident was revealed by a homeowner, who suspected that it was related to feed.

I think back a few years ago, a friend of mine had her beloved dog poisoned after buying a popular pet food on the market. However, such cases are not isolated cases, and there have been a number of incidents in Taiwan in the past few years in which pet food contains harmful ingredients, causing many parents of furry children to suffer the pain of losing their families. As a mother, I understand this sense of loss, because furry children are not just pets, they are part of the family.

These incidents have made many owners wary of the choice of food ingredients, after all, our furry children cannot choose for themselves, they can only rely on our judgment.

How the Government controls food safety

According to the 2024/04/26 report of Food, “Pet food 30 billion business opportunities pie but only rely on 100 pieces of sampling inspection every year to protect pet food safety? Although as many as 55.1% of hairy fathers and hairy mothers are concerned about the nutritional content of food, they cannot be managed because they rely on the manufacturer’s self-declaration.

Therefore, in the middle of this year, on the public policy participation platform, the formulation of pet food safety regulations has officially begun to enter the formulation stage. Manufacturers are required to clearly label food ingredients and strengthen inspection procedures to ensure that products on the market meet food safety standards. While these policies have indeed brought some improvements, as parents, we must not only rely on the government’s gatekeeping, but also learn how to make the best choices ourselves.

How parents choose quality merchants

There are a few important points that parents should pay special attention to when choosing pet food. First of all, it is essential to choose a reputable merchant and avoid buying products from unknown sources. Secondly, reading the ingredient list is a very important step. I pay special attention to whether there are artificial additives or harmful ingredients such as preservatives and artificial colors. High-quality pet food should choose natural ingredients as much as possible to ensure the health of your furry child.

In addition, I will also refer to the recommendations of other parents, especially those that have been certified by experts or evaluated after actual use. In this way, you can choose the right food for your furry child with more peace of mind.

As a mom, how do I keep a watch for my family

As a mother, not only do you have to check for your furry child, but also the health of your family is equally important. This reminds me that we must not only pay attention to pet food, but also the raw materials in our family’s daily diet, especially the use of cream in Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes. Many commercially available conserie uses hydrogenated oil or margarine, which are not good for health and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Therefore, I pay special attention to whether the pastry shop uses natural cream. Although natural cream is more costly, it does not contain trans fats and is more able to guarantee the family. Just like our French warm crisp, it is made of natural Anchor cream, without adding other fats, made with French sabriel technology, crispy and rich in a bite, it is an authentic Taiwanese pineapple crisp with a French soul, and one of the favorite souvenirs of Hong Kong stars in the past 30 years.

My experience sharing

In the selection of food, I will especially choose products with less ingredients, although the shelf life is relatively short, but the health of the family is priceless. If there are ingredients that I dare not eat, I will not buy them for my family, natural ingredients and artificial ingredients may be several times different in price, but in summary, whether it is a furry child or a family, food safety is our top priority as mothers. Only by choosing high-quality merchants and paying attention to food ingredients can we truly achieve food safety control, so that furry children and their families can enjoy a healthy and happy life.

Because of this, we have specially cooperated with ARTT (Taiwan Animal Emergency Rescue Team) to launch Wang’s Mama French Warm Crisp and Tea Brewing House and ARTT to jointly launch a limited public welfare co-branded gift box, enjoy safe and delicious pineapple crisp and Taiwan’s local good tea, and at the same time, we can also help the “Taiwan Animal Emergency Rescue Team” to help stray animals, and encourage everyone to pay more attention to the rights and interests of furry children~!
