Course Description: Pet parents are increasingly looking for health benefit claims from the pet foods they feed, especially claims around digestibility. Digestibility is not intuitive to explain on a pet food label, so this session will arm you with information to explain what digestibility is to your clients, what can influence a pet food’s digestibility, and describe situations where a food’s digestibility may influence your recommendation.
