Feeding Trials

At Pets Global Zignature are committed to completing comprehensive AAFCO feeding studies with all of Zignature diets. As you can imagine this is a giant undertaking and to gain the most of the studies Zignature are using a system AAFCO outlines as product families. This process allows for products within the same brand to be included in a group with a diet that has undergone and successfully completed an AAFCO feeding study. To be included in a product family they must be nutritionally similar and meet key AAFCO nutrient requirements to the diet that was tested. AAFCO suggests that testing one diet in a product family allows for all the nutritionally similar diets to be considered similar to the tested for nutritional adequacy.
