 At present, China has not issued national quality standards for pet food. Pet foods generally refer to China's relevant feed standards and American AAFCO pet nutrition standards, and individual indicators refer to human food standards. In the early 21st century, the development of China's pet food industry still lags behind that of advanced Western countries. When the country's annual per capita GDP reaches 3,000 to 5,000 US dollars, the pet food economy will grow at a high speed. In some parts of China, the annual per capita GDP has reached the above-mentioned standard, and pet food has begun to enter middle- and high-income families. With the rapid development of China's economy and the renewal of modern consumption concepts, pet food is entering the city's pet-loving families as quickly as possible.
