      European Pet Food Industry Federation updates Nutritional Guidelines

      Updated guidelines include new ratios for nutrients for dogs and cats

      Release Date: Comments(0)

      The European Pet Food Industry Federation published its annually updated Nutritional Guidelines for Cats and Dogs for 2012. 

      Based on new scientific literature and discussions with the federation's Scientific Advisory Board, adaptations were made to nutrients such as vitamins, iodine, calcium and sodium. The federation's new nutrition guidelines have newly defined ratios because “calcium and phosphorus are essential minerals for healthy skeleton development and maintenance,” the federation said.
