EU nutritional guide for dogs and cats
The European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF) has published a free nutritional guide for petfood manufacturers. The 65 page document entitled Nutritional Guidelines for Complete and Complimentary Pet Food for Cats and Dogs is billed as a reference document for the petfood industry, animal nutritionists and animal welfare authorities. The FEDIAF guide gives nutritent recommendations for healthy dogs and cats eating typical commercial petfood. It also provides tools for assessing the nutritional value of petfoods; recommendations for energy intake; and additional advice on specific foodstuffs such as the use of garlic and raisins.
