BRANDS TO BOYCOTT
As mentioned above, the main culprits for cruel and unethical animal testing are the major international 'pet' food businesses.
IAMS / Eukanuba owned by Procter & Gamble
Hills Science Diet owned by Colgate Palmolive
The majority of pet food brands available in the UK are produced by two animal testing companies - "Nestlé Purina/Friskies" and "Pedigree, Masterfoods (Mars Inc)."
Nestlé Purina/Friskies:
Alpo, Bonio, Felix, Go Cat, Gourmet,
Omega Complete, Proplan, Spillers, Vital Balance, Winalot.
Pedigree, Masterfoods (Mars Inc):
Bounce, Cesar, Chappie, Frolic, James Wellbeloved, Katkins,
Kitekat, Pal, Pedigree Chum, Royal Canin, Sheba,
Techni-cal (US & Canada), Whiskas.
Pedigree also manufacture Thomas rabbit food and Trill bird food.
NB Techni-Cal (Europe) although not owned by Pedigree, Masterfoods (Mars Inc) is still a company to boycott as they have not signed up to the BUAV No Animal Testing Standard.
i heard RC animal testing is just whether the pet likes the food or not.. but not like
www.iamscruelty.com yet they has not signed the anti animal cruelty.. so they are on the list to boycott..
i am no vet, clearly.. but been doing my homework for cats (plan to adopt one).. seems the best food would be Royal Canin mixed with raw or just raw (except pork for the tryp-sumthin virus) and i read chicken wing is good for their dental health.. as grains/gluten sticks on their teeth building up tartar = smelly breath
the less frequency and quantity of poo due to better absorbed nutrients and odorless also mentioned for raw meat benefits, as well as increased energy (some cat owners screech).. i also read that Royal Canin adverts no more hairball due to healthy coat.. so there you go.. RC and raws... so yeah..
