At Pets Global we are committed to completing comprehensive AAFCO feeding studies with all of our diets.  As you can imagine this is a giant undertaking and to gain the most of the studies we are using a system AAFCO outlines as product families. This process allows for products within the same brand to be included in a group with a diet that has undergone and successfully completed an AAFCO feeding study. To be included in a product family they must be nutritionally similar and meet key AAFCO nutrient requirements to the diet that was tested. AAFCO suggests that testing one diet in a product family allows for all the nutritionally similar diets to be considered similar to the tested for nutritional adequacy. At Pets Global we push ourselves past the minimum requirements and have started with the AAFCO product families but will continue to test each individual diet until we have complete feeding studies on all our formulas.
