Abstract
Many states follow the pet feed regulations of the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). AAFCO includes officials from all states and federal government who are responsible for enforcing the laws regulating the production, labeling, distributions, and/or sale of animal feeds. Pet food manufacturers are required to include the method of substantatiation that was used for the complete and balanced claim on the pet food label. If the statement that AAFCO feeding trial were conducted is included, this means that the food was adequately tested using AAFCO feeding trials with dogs and cats. If the statement claims that the food meets the AAFCO Nutrient profiles, this signifies that the food was formulated to meet the nutrient profile for the intended stage of life (adult maintenance or growth/reproduction. The aim of this paper is to highlight the true degree of digestibility of pet feed.Â
