All of our diets are tested by both nutrient profiles by formulation and by analysis of the finished product. Our complete and balanced diet pet food products meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutritional requirements. This is verified by the animal nutritionist after review of the diet recipe and product, and also by testing the food product for those required nutrients.  We continue to verify that our diets meet the nutritional adequacy expected at a prescribed frequency. To be considered a “complete and balanced diet,” pet food must either meet one of the Dog or Cat Food Nutrient Profiles established by AAFCO or pass a feeding trial using AAFCO procedures. Our products proudly meet appropriate AAFCO requirements based on the nutrient profile (formulation). We feel that this is the most precise and consistent way to provide pets with the premium nutrition they deserve. In addition, WSAVA also states in their recommendations that, “While feeding trials help to test for the food’s nutritional adequacy, the use of feeding trials does not guarantee that the food provides adequate nutrition under all conditions.”
