Furthermore, how does protein affect different breeds, and what scientific studies support its necessity? In this post, we’ll dive into the protein content found in dog food, the essential role protein plays in canine health, its sources, and regulations based on EU pet food laws set by the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF). The protein content in dog food varies depending on factors like food type, brand, and specific canine dietary needs. The European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF) provides guidelines similar to those from the Association of American Feed Control Officials(AAFCO), ensuring that commercial pet food meets minimum nutritional standards. Recommended Protein Levels Based on FEDIAF Guidelines Certain specialized diets may contain higher protein levels, particularly for sporting, working, and highly active breeds.
