David Dzanis, DVM, PhD, DACVN, CEO of Regulatory Discretion, explains why and what has changed in the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) dog and cat food nutrient profiles, how the changes will affect pet food labeling and how soon pet food companies must comply. Several of the revisions are substantial, so manufacturers need to carefully review all numbers to ensure continued acceptability of their formulations and labels.
