Course Focus and Learning Objectives

Pet food labels have been updated. Four major changes have been communicated. The major changes were the addition of an intended use statement, a pet nutrition facts box, a voluntary handling & storage statement, and updates to the ingredient statement. There were also some minor changes to definitions and terms, the label format & labeling, feeding directions, and descriptive terms. Pet food companies have 6 years from 2024 to update their packages, so for the next 6 years both labels may be found on pet food packages. From a nutritional and regulatory standpoint, the final regulations may be difficult for pet parents to understand. It is important that the health care team understands the new regulations and can help the pet parent understand the changes and how it may affect their decision to purchase the food.

After completion of this course, the student should be able to:

  • define and explain AAFCO
  • outline the new pet food label regulations
  • explain what the new regulations mean from a nutritional and regulatory standpoint to aid pet parents
