Testing Laboratories

Pet Food Testing Laboratories:

Below is a list of laboratories that conduct nutritional and/or toxilogical analyses of animal feeds (including pet foods and treats) for a fee.  These include commercial laboratories as well as some state laboratories that analyze "service samples". Laboratories are listed by state for convenience. However, a company may choose to submit samples to any lab regardless of location.

It is recommended to contact the laboratory for their shipping instructions and other information prior to sending samples.  Some laboratories may offer a 24-hour emergency service at a higher cost, discounts on volume analysis, and a wide variety of other services.

Disclaimer:  AAFCO does not endorse any laboratories. Laboratories on this list are those that have given us their addresses and/or answered our questionnaire. Inclusion of a laboratory from the list does not imply a recommendation of their service. Exclusion of a laboratory from the list does not imply that it is not to be used.

DISCLAIMER

The information contained in this website is designed to provide advice to small petfood and treat manufacturers on regulatory requirements and to assist them in the development of proper labeling for these products.

AAFCO has no statutory authority to regulate pet products.

Rather, enforcement of violations is the purview of the state feed control officials, so companies must comply with each state's requirements.  While most states follow AAFCO model regulations, exact language and interpretation may differ between states. While these documents offer guidance that are helpful in the vast majority of states, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure compliance with individual state requirements.

Did you know?

AAFCO does not regulate, test, approve or certify pet foods in any way.

AAFCO establishes the nutritional standards for complete and balanced pet foods, and it is the pet food company's responsibility to formulate their products according to the appropriate AAFCO standard.

It is the state feed control official's responsibility in regulating pet food to ensure that the laws and rules established for the protection of companion animals and their custodians are complied with so that only unadulterated, correctly and uniformly labeled pet food products are distributed in the marketplace and a structure for orderly commerce.
