Title: VITAMINS AND MINERALS – SUPPLEMENTATION AND OVERDOING IT
Post by: Lola on January 11, 2018, 06:42:14 AM

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) – which is an independent body consisting of pet food manufacturers – sets the minimum standards for supplementation in pet foods (not treats). While most of us have concerns with AAFCO standards and the organization, I agree with Steve and Karen that at least minimums exist between all of the commercial pet food manufacturers. Of course, your companion animal may need additional supplements depending on the food, its level of absorbability, and the animal’s activity level and age.
