What does "high-quality" mean in the pet food industry?

Absolutely Nothing.

The words “high-quality,” “wholesome,” “holistic,” “natural,” “organic,” and “nutrient rich” can be used by any company (or in the case of “organic,” any company willing to pay) to describe their foods. These words are simply marketing tools used to appeal to customers as the “holistic” craze widens and pet food becomes the new focus.

In the world of commercial pet food, products are often not what they seem. While pet food and treats may be labeled “premium”, “gourmet” or “organic”, they may not actually be so nutritious. According to the FDA, “premium” and “gourmet” labeled pet foods are not held to any higher standard than other foods and there are no regulations regarding the labeling of pet foods as “organic”.
