What is AAFCO and do pets really need it?
Brittany the Pet Girl is back with Johnny Manning, and they discuss the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) standards and how they were originally developed for use with highly processed commercial foods (like kibble) to make up for the loss of nutrients due to extensive processing?
While raw foods don’t suffer the same detrimental processing, we know that the Complete and Balanced statement on pet food is important to many pet parents.
At Big Dog Pet Foods, our diets are formulated to meet AAFCO requirements, or formulated with supporting feeding trials to meet AAFCO requirements naturally, which means we only use natural ingredients and never supplement with synthetic vitamins and minerals.
If you’re looking for more information on this, we encourage you to check out Narelle Cooke's article: 'Complete and Balanced' and Raw Food Feeding - a Square Peg in a Round Hole? Or our own article: Complete and Balanced by Nature.
