She is home now and will give you guys an update asap I imagine

I pretty sure she is still at the vets

And also, if they didnt test the product first, and released it, wouldnt that still be testing on dogs? Albeit not "lab dogs" but peoples pets? And I'm sure everyone who is against animal testing would kick up a stink if their dog had an adverse reaction to an untested product. Surely they would prefer to ensure they are feeding a "safe" product that has been tested?

I know this is going to make me sound completely clueless...but wouldnt all dog foods, no matter who makes it, have to be tested on dogs before they are put on the market? If they didnt, how would they be able to make claims about how good it is, how shiny the dogs coat will be etc?

I agree with Cordy. How are they going to test a dog food other than by feeding it to them?
