Pet food has changed a lot during and because of Covid. People have more<br />
time for their pets and have become more aware of their nutrition. Producers<br />
are starting to pay more attention to clean label ingredients, especially<br />
where allergies are concerned. Some human consumer trends that continue to<br />
crossover to the pet food category include increasing demand for added<br />
<strong>pro</strong>tein, digestive wellness, and plant-based <strong>pro</strong>ducts. This issue of Petfood<br />
PRO covers these topics - and many others - with the result that our pets<br />
can live to be happy and healthy for as long as possible.<br />

The market for peanut butter treats for dogs has increased<br />
dramatically - and many believe that the trend is driving the<br />
demand for healthier options in the pet food supply and treat<br />
sectors. It is a great way to administer medication as peanut<br />
butter tastes so good to dogs, so they can't detect that hidden<br />
pill! It also works as a great distraction during washing and<br />
grooming, and of course a tool to help with dog training. The full<br />
story is on page 18.<br />
Food safety is a crucially important issue in the pet food<br />
industry. The EU repeatedly reports <strong>pro</strong>duct recalls due to<br />
salmonella contaminated animal feed, which must therefore<br />
be subjected to thorough treatment and inspection. Thermal<br />
<strong>pro</strong>cesses are commonly used in the food industry to reliably<br />
kill microorganisms. When selecting the ap<strong>pro</strong>priate <strong>pro</strong>cess,<br />
however, it is important to consider the effects of heat on the<br />
stability of the <strong>pro</strong>duct to be treated. See page 26.<br />
