Some imported pet-food labels use complementary terminology. Keep the original wording and ask the manufacturer how the product is intended to be used rather than assuming it is a complete everyday meal.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Market | Record the country and language of the label. |
| Purpose | Copy complete or complementary wording. |
| Instructions | Keep the manufacturer's use directions with the product. |

A practical example
A translated retailer headline may omit complementary even when the package includes it. Use the actual package as the record.
Before you decide
Do not substitute a treat or supplementary product for a complete diet based on appearance.
