Unlock the Surprising Human Foods Your Dog Can Safely Devour—Vet-Approved and Vet-Recommended!
“Complete and balanced” is the phrase used by pet food companies to indicate that a dog food provides total nutrition for a specific life stage. A “complete” diet, according to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), is one that contains all of the currently known essential nutrients (except water) at levels adequate to meet a dog’s daily needs.
Dog food also has to be balanced to avoid nutrient deficiencies that can occur even though the diet appears to contain all essential nutrients. A “balanced” food provides nutrients in the correct ratios so that optimal absorption of all nutrients occurs.
