Iodine is an essential trace element found in many food sources as well as the environment. AAFCO recognizes iodine as an essential nutrient for both dogs and cats at differing, species specific levels. This infographic explains explores considerations for iodine in pet food and reasons to test for it.
Hydrolyzed proteins play a crucial role in the pet food, animal nutrition, and feed industries, offering significant benefits in digestibility, allergen reduction, and bioavailability. This white paper explores the advantages of hydrolyzed proteins and their impact on product formulation.
The Pet Food Label Modernization (PFLM) initiative is reshaping industry standards, making dietary fiber a required metric. Learn how this change impacts pet food formulations, testing methods, and nutritional transparency.

Watch this webinar for a discussion on the background behind AAFCO’s recommended method and other commonly used methods, with a focus on which dietary fiber component each method quantifies, and scenarios where it is appropriate to use an alternate method. Original Air Date: April 16, 2025
In pets, as in humans, glucosamine (GlcN) has been used with chondroitin sulfate in nutraceuticals to support joint health and mobility. Historically, GlcN testing has been limited to pure materials and supplements. However, Eurofins Nutrition Analysis Center has recently developed a method for testing GlcN in a wide variety of matrices. Click to learn more.
For most US Foods, protein claims are based on a protein quality measurement, called PDCAAS. PDCAAS stands for Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score. Check out our infographic to learn more about protein quality measurement.
