It argues that pet owners, much like consumers in other sectors, are increasingly demanding to know the origin and quality of ingredients. The piece highlights the benefits of traceability, including enhanced ingredient quality, improved safety during recalls, and support for ethical considerations. Brands like Open Farm are presented as examples of companies leading this charge. The article also draws parallels to transparency demands in other industries, such as education (TEFL Ireland), finance (Paxson EU), and creative arts (Anto Morato), suggesting a broader societal shift. It concludes by offering pet owners practical advice on what to look for in transparent brands and emphasizes the positive impact of informed choices on the industry's future.
