The AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages include: Growth (Puppies & Adults)
The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a non-profit organization that sets safety standards for animal feed and pet foods. Their members include government officials as well as agencies responsible for oversight in this industry.
They set standards for quality pet nutrition through nutrient profiles and then regularly update them when new research is published. Furthermore, they exert pressure on government agencies to create policies that encourage better industry practices and healthy pet food consumption.
For instance, dog foods claiming to be “complete and balanced” for growth and reproduction must have undergone testing through AAFCO feeding trials, where eight dogs or cats are fed the food and their bloodwork and body fat values monitored over six months.

Supplemental
A nutrient profile is the list of nutrients a pet food must contain to be classified as a complete and balanced diet, according to guidelines set by organizations such as AAFCO. This information helps ensure your pup gets all the essential nutrition they need for optimal health.
Nutritionally speaking, dog foods typically follow two distinct nutrient profiles according to life stages: growth and reproduction and adult maintenance. These levels have been validated through animal feeding tests and must meet AAFCO’s standards; however, certain product formulas may deviate from these standards. These products tend to be veterinary prescription diets designed for specific health conditions; thus they should not be used regularly nor for healthy dogs; rather they are labeled “for intermittent or supplemental use”. Unfortunately, not all pets or life stages may benefit from these diets.
