"Animal feeding trials using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Science Diet Adult Feline Maintenance provides complete and balances nutrition for maintenance of adult cats" Is that the same AAFCO that never required arachidonic acid to be added in feline diets? The one that is run mostly by representatives from the pet food industry? Well back in 1994, these were the specific members. I don't know if it's still these particular ones or new ones have taken their place. But here's an example: from page 304 in the Official Publication 1994, Association of American Feed Control Officials. Here they list the members who review the standards and terms for pet food labeling. There are 6 AAFCO members, 4 of whom work for the pet food industry: Ken Johannes, Hill's Pet Products Inc.; Dan Chauslow, Westreco, Inc.; Dave Bebiak, Ralston Purina Co.; and Mark Finke, Alpo Petfoods, Inc.

You're reading this completely wrong and inserting your biases into it. If at least 6 of the 8 dogs must finish the test....that doesn't mean that 2 of the dogs have to die. They must simply FINISH the test. Why do you assume the worst? You definitively have a comprehension problem. Doesn't he though? LOL! ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Here we go again. Colgate doesn't do animal testing on their products. Why slander them? Bull****. Yes they do. Call the company and ask them yourself. Also, when I fed Science Diet in the past, my cats never did very well on it. My cats have always done fantastic on it. I dont' feed commercial food but my friends who do have cats that do well on Petguard, Felidae, or Wellness. These foods should be available at a large health food market like Whole Foods or Wild Oats, or small pet supply stores. Those are all foods that are appropriate only for kittens and not adult or senior cats. My cats are doing great on Wellness. My vet agrees. One of them is officially a "senior", The other two are adults. Before you go on your SD spew, my cats did very poorly on it. Some do great, mine didn't. Not to mention the fact that they haven't done animal feeding trials. What have they got to hide? Wellness certainly does do feeding trials. And I quote: "Animal feeding tests using Association of American Feed Control Officials procedures substantiate that Wellness Super5mix Adult Cat Food provides complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages." This would have been quite easy to check up on before making false statements. Thanks for an informative and accurate post, Karen. Gabster is so intent on defending Hill's at all costs, that he'll say anything, even if it's untrue.
