Update on Natures Logic Dry Cat Food Feeding Trial
AAFCO requires all pet foods to be substantiated to qualify it as a complete and balanced diet for certain life stages or all life stages. This substantiation can be done one of two ways. It can either be formulated so its dry matter analysis meets or exceeds the AAFCO nutrient profile, or the manufacturer can put the food through a feeding trial.
Although feeding trials are a more expensive route, Nature’s Logic has elected to prove it’s adequacy through the trials instead of adding synthetic vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
We have several queens that have gone through the gestation and lactation part of the trial and their blood work has shown some phenomenal results (as shown below).
