See 21 C.F.R. §101.93(g).[3]
So it's only because they used the word "arthritis" which is a disease. |

This is not a big deal at all but so many people will read it as such, especially when people comment that the FDA is "cracking down" on Hill's. Hill's spends more money doing testing than any other company and it is so tiring to see the bashing that goes on. I for one feed most of my pups Hill's products and they are all doing very well. I do have some on other RX diets. I have the utmost confidence in Hill's and have no fears about possible recalls that I fear will be coming again in the future because there are way too many small companies jumping on the "holistic" bandwagon.
