To do a proper testing and really learn the differences, you would have to keep the dogs on a certain diet their whole lives, and we not just looking for things that keep them healthy through middle age, but old age as well. I think there is more information growing in the field of human nutrition, and much of it would pass on to other species. |
The ACVN has a list of all of the veterinary nutritionists in the US on this page:
Diplomate Directory American College of Veterinary Nutrition
If you click on "more information," you can find out where they are and what they are doing.
If you follow a dog all of the way until old age on a feeding trial, I wonder whether you can wait for them to die of natural causes and then perform an autopsy to gather the final data?
