Non–Animal-Tested Companion Animal Food
If you have animal companions, it is likely you will do whatever you can to ensure their safety and comfort, including feeding them the very best food. What some pet food companies are hiding from consumers, however, is that animals like your own are confined to laboratories and subjected to invasive tests for claims on their products.
We have compiled a list of companies that do not test their pet food on animals and that only carry out palatability tests with companion animals at home. Palatability studies involve feeding animals new formulations to see if they will eat or like them.
The list below outlines the companies that have signed a PETA Statement of Assurance pledging that they do not conduct, contract out or fund animal tests in the developing, manufacturing, testing or marketing of their products. You are entitled to know if you are giving money to a pet food company that is responsible for the confinement and pain of animals in laboratories – animals who are just like the ones you care for at home.
