Any ideas where to look for an independent lab to test some cat food for
nutrient content? Found a couple sites online that do FDA labels for people
food, but those places are awfully expensive.

Maybe I should call my local university vet hospital...?

Thanks,

Corey

"As of June 17, 2005, NEAS will no longer be offering testing of human food,
animal feed or feed products for nutritional content."

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Corey

Yeah- try Woodson-Tenent Laboratories- they might go under Eurofins
Scientific now. This is the lab that does most of the testing for the pet
food industry.

Let me know how it goes.
