Updated guidelines from FEDIAF

The European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF) has published its annually updated Nutritional Guidelines for Cats and Dogs. Following a review of scientific literature and based on discussions with the established FEDIAF Scientific Advisory Board, adaptations were made to nutrients such as vitamins, iodine, calcium or sodium, says the federation. “Calcium and phosphorus are essential minerals for healthy skeleton development and maintenance,” so FEDIAF has newly defined the ratio according to the latest scientific discussions.
FEDIAF will continue its annual updates of the guidelines and post these on its website for free download by pet food producers, universities, breeders, officials or any other person interested in cat and dog nutrition.
