Brussels, 8 September 2025: FEDIAF, the European Pet Food Industry Federation, has released the 2025 edition of its Nutritional Guidelines for Complete and Complementary Pet Food for Cats and Dogs. Recognised by regulators, veterinarians, and nutrition experts, the guidelines continue to serve as the definitive reference for safe, nutritionally balanced pet food across Europe.
The 2025 edition reflects the annual review by FEDIAF's Nutrition Working Group and its independent Scientific Advisory Board, ensuring the guidelines remain fully aligned with current scientific knowledge and regulatory requirements.
Key refinements in 2025 include:
- Updated nutrient tables to maintain accuracy with the latest data.
- Clarifications in annexes to support manufacturers and professionals in applying the guidelines.
Lisa Conboy-Schmidt, chair of the FEDIAF Nutrition Working Group, explained: 'These guidelines are the result of careful scientific review, and it's gratifying to know they continue to guide pet nutrition across Europe. Every clarification and adjustment helps pets enjoy healthier, happier lives. I would like to sincerely thank the members of FEDIAF's Scientific Advisory Board for their expertise and dedication, which ensures that our recommendations remain both accurate and practical for manufacturers, veterinarians, and pet owners alike.'
The FEDIAF Nutritional Guidelines remain the benchmark for pet food manufacturers, veterinarians, and regulators across Europe. By integrating the latest science, the 2025 edition reinforces industry-wide commitment to balanced diets and pet wellbeing.
