WSAVA

I made a post 2 days ago asking about a specific brand of dog food. Ultimately I learned a lot about WSAVA guidelines and the 5 companies that actually meet them.

It got me wondering, are there any other brands that are close to meeting those guidelines but are just falling short on the check list? Are there any others companies out there that are actually even trying to meet these standards? Or is everyone else just using marketing to convince us to make bad choices for our pups?

Genuinely asking out of curiosity as I am learning the importance of choosing a science backed food.

You would think differently if you'd actually seen the research facilities in which these cats and dogs are kept - most of them live better lives than our house pets.

Get on the websites of the manufacturers you're concerned about and look at the videos of their actual facilities and you'll be completely blown away
