I strongly recommend that concerned and loving Dog Owners never judge a dog-food products quality based on AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) guidelines and here is why...
Just because a dry or wet dog food or treats are AAFCO approved, does not mean that the food:
- Is free of toxins and carcinogens;
- That the food is really nutritionally complete:
- Will support your dog’s short and long-term health;
While AAFCO does include some US state and federal representatives, AAFCO it is NOT a federal or state run government organization...
- Although AAFCO promotes themselves as a governing body of the pet food industry - they are self-proclaimed
- AAFCO is a partisan organization that is primarily made-up of people directly involved in the pet food manufacturing industry;
- AAFCOs true reason for existing is not to support the health of your dog, it exists to promote the pet food industry in its drive to produce the biggest possible margin of profit;
- AAFCO is directly responsible for unclear labelling on pet food products including dry and wet dog food and treats;
- AAFCO allows toxins and carcinogens into the food that they approve;AAFCO is responsible for the confusion around poor vs. good quality.
The bottom line is buyer beware for the health of your dog.
