Default Independent food testing?

Any ideas where to look for an independent lab to test some cat food for
nutrient content? Found a couple sites online that do FDA labels for people
food, but those places are awfully expensive.

Maybe I should call my local university vet hospital...?

Thanks,

Corey

animal feed or feed products for nutritional content."

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Yeah- try Woodson-Tenent Laboratories- they might go under Eurofins
Scientific now. This is the lab that does most of the testing for the pet
food industry.

Let me know how it goes.
