Animal testing means they have set groups, one eats one food, the rest eat another - At the end they KILL or do inhumane tests on the animals to test how they grew, bone density, and many other things to determine if the food was good. I won't support that. Food trials are another thing, but animal testing IMO is not something I'd support, however, while I don't like Proctor and Gamble and avoid their products when I can, if I bought a puppy that was raised on Iams, Eukanuba, etc, I wouldn't go changing that for at least 3-4 months BARE MINIMUM, and that's IF nothing else changed with the puppy, even a minor cold. The food is the ONLY thing that is familiar to that puppy and it's sensitive digestive track. By all means, feel free to change to a better food, but just give it some time before ripping the one familiar thing away. I'm completely with Yorkie Momma on this, as a vet tech I saw so many very very sick puppies because people changed their food to fast when they brought them home!
