FEDIAF is the Euro­pean Pet Food Industry Feder­a­tion, which has estab­lished the ​“Guide­lines for complete and comple­men­tary foods for cats and dogs” to ensure a balanced and healthy diet. These guide­lines include, for example, recom­men­da­tions for nutrient levels in dog and cat food.

During a FEDIAF compar­ison, the nutrient contents are compared with the FEDIAF recom­men­da­tions to deter­mine whether they are present in the optimal concen­tra­tions. After all, to provide animals with optimal nutri­tion, prod­ucts should provide a good mix of proteins, vita­mins, minerals and fatty acids.
