You cannot use a computer model for this, and results don't always carry across species. We should be against inhumane testing, but I won't buy a food that hasn't been tested. The makers of Greenies should have tested more in my opinion. Don't forget, only the bigger companies test, small companies just use ingredients that have already been tested or don't need to be tested because they aren't making any claims that it will do something special.

Great post Nancy!!
Are all the dog foods mentioned never been tested on dogs/cats? If there was no testing, how do the companies know what is good, bad or ugly for your pets? Testing foods on people should not be the norm or the model. People do not have the same nutritional needs as a dog or cat. What about whelping dogs and cats? What tests have been done to ensure that pregnant dogs/cats are getting what they need? By testing, I am in no way referring to cosmetics used for humans or torture of any animals. So how do these companies validate their research and results without testing?
I wish the "holistic, all natual remedy" I took almost 3 years ago would have been tested more and researched more. That way all the smells and tastes in this world wouldnt be a distant memory for me.
