Hi, Im on an e:mail list for EWG and received this today, I dont see this survey at their site which ishttp://www.petsfortheenvironment.org/blog :

Let's blow this kibble stand
Thanks to some amazingly generous supporters, we raised over $16,000 to test pet food for nasty chemicals we shouldn't be eating every day, and that means I've been busy meeting with the science-type humans at Environmental Working Group to discuss what brands to test.

Luckily I have over 2,300 responses to my pet food survey (thanks, guys!), so I know that we should be testing Iams, Wellness, Hill's Science Diet, Innova, Royal Canin, Pedigree, Purina ONE, and more. But EWG researchers asked me a question I couldn't answer:

Do pets eat mostly dry food?
So I need your help! Please take this click poll and I'll get back to EWG with your responses:

Click here if you're a pet that eats only dry food.
Click here if you're a pet that eats only wet food.
Click here if you're a pet that eats both dry and wet food.
Click here if you're a pet that doesn't eat store-bought pet food.
I can barely sit still when I think about this project--I can't wait to know what's in my food! I'll keep you updated with news on our progress, so stay tuned.

and this too---it is not too late to buy those "cwap bags"  and that ever so personal message! Wink

Last time I sent my update, I told you I'd be liveblogging the FDA public meeting on pet food standards. But not enough people showed up, so they adjourned early and I didn't get my chance to speak! So I'm going to try again.

On June 13th, I'm going to meet with humans at the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine to deliver our messages in a poo bag: "We're sick of the crap in our pet food." Right now, the FDA is considering whether they should approve pet food and toys for safety (because no one does yet) and I'm going to make sure they know pets are in favor!
