哪些宠物用品是"智商税"？快来看看你中招了没？
随着养宠队伍的日益壮大，宠物行业也迎来了投资热潮，各种宠物用品都相继生产了出来，大品牌也好，小众品牌也罢，竞争激烈。就是在这样的趋势下，宠物行业乱象丛生，免不了许多产品就成了铲屎官们的智商税。
With the growing number of pet owners, the pet industry has seen an investment boom. Various pet products have been produced one after another, from big brands to niche brands, all competing fiercely. Under this trend, chaos in the pet industry is inevitable, and many products have become "IQ taxes" for pet owners.
半智商税 | Semi IQ Taxes
有网友或许要问了，智商税就智商税，何来半智商税之说？看完下面你就懂了。
Some netizens might ask: "IQ tax is IQ tax, what's this about 'semi IQ tax'?" Read on and you'll understand.
1. 化毛膏 | Hairball Remedy
化毛膏其实就是"润滑剂"，促进猫咪排毛球的。为什么说它是半智商税呢？因为网上有不少言论特别不负责，说化毛膏不但可以帮助猫咪排毛，还能给猫咪补充营养。
Hairball remedy is essentially a "lubricant" that helps cats expel hairballs. Why is it a semi IQ tax? Because there are many irresponsible claims online saying it can not only help cats eliminate hairballs but also provide nutritional supplements.
2. 软骨素 | Chondroitin
这款产品目前是比较火的，说是能为宠物补充钙质，助于软骨再生。但你知道吗，并不是所有宠物都需要喂软骨素。
This product is currently very popular, claiming to supplement calcium for pets and help cartilage regeneration. But did you know that not all pets need chondroitin?
3. 卵磷脂 | Lecithin
看卵磷脂是不是智商税，主要是看你买的产品的配料表里，是不是蛋黄卵磷脂。如果你看见的是大豆卵磷脂，那么这款产品对猫咪并没有什么用处。
Whether lecithin is an IQ tax depends mainly on whether the product you buy contains egg yolk lecithin. If you see soy lecithin, then this product is useless for cats.
纯智商税 | Pure IQ Taxes
那么哪些宠物产品是纯智商税，完全没有买的必要呢？
So which pet products are pure IQ taxes and completely unnecessary to buy?
1. 补充微量元素的产品 | Trace Element Supplements
咱们平时喂狗狗的一些日常食物中，已经含有微量元素了！比如狗粮里、酸奶里还有羊奶粉中，都是含有微量元素的。
The daily food we feed dogs already contains trace elements! For example, dog food, yogurt, and goat milk powder all contain trace elements.
2. 猫咪指甲套 | Cat Nail Caps
这些塑料保护套给猫咪爪子套上后，不但把猫咪的爪子闷在里面，还可能被猫咪咬下来吃了，这可是塑料的啊！
After putting these plastic protectors on cats' paws, not only are the paws suffocated inside, but the cats might also bite them off and eat them - and they're plastic!
以上几个产品，差不多就是兽医小明想要介绍的一些比较有争议的关于智商税的问题，铲屎官们买的时候可要慎重考虑了。
The above products are basically the controversial "IQ tax" issues that Veterinarian Xiaoming wants to introduce. Pet owners should think carefully when purchasing them.
