Understanding Dog Food Labels

Pet food labeling is regulated at two levels.  Federal regulations are enforced by the United States Food and Drug Administration; probably bettern known by its acronym FDA.  The FDA has established regulations for all animal foods.  These standards include:

• Identification of the product
• Net quantity
• Name and address of manufacturer
• List of ingredients

Some states have their own labeling requirements; which they enforce.  The states often use the Association of American Feed Control Officials regulation plan; their acronym is AAFCO.  The AAFCO's regulations are more detailed.  Their regulations include:

• Product name
• Guaranteed analysis
• Nutritional adequacy statement
• Feeding directions
• Caloric amounts
