or more than 80 years, the National Academies has fostered improved
understanding of the nutritional needs of pets, wildlife, laboratory-
Fresearch species, and food-producing animals through its Nutrient
Requirements of Domestic Animals series—a series that is considered the
“gold standard” for animal nutrition in the United States and worldwide.

This pamphlet is based on recommendations from the
2006 release of Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats.
The report contains useful information for companion
animal nutritionists, veterinarians, scientists in industry
and academe, regulators, pet owners and anyone with
an interest in the health and welfare of these important
animals. To order the report, contact the National
Academies Press, 500 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC
20001; (800) 624-6242 or http://www.nap.edu.
