While Dr. Doolittle’s dream remains elusive, advances in brain scanning and analysis have opened a window into how dogs’ brains reconstruct what they see. Researchers at Emory University found evidence that we should probably be using more verbs when overdubbing our dog’s antics.

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) have grown in popularity for leopard geckos since they have a higher calcium concentration than mealworms and crickets. Long-term feeding of BSFL without vitamin supplementation or variation could result in deficiencies. Reptile supplement makers may continue to market their products as BSFL become more common in the reptile food market.

In an experiment, ten adult female Beagles ate one of five diets included up to 40% rice or one of four ancient grains: amaranth, white proso millet, quinoa or oat groats. 

A group of researchers used lactic acid in raw dog foods as the products underwent high-pressure processing. Find out what happened.

Dog owners may be reticent to try a different brand of food, fearing gastrointestinal troubles for their dogs and carpets.

Animal protein production bottlenecks were only one of the supply chain issues facing the pet food industry now and in the near future, according to researchers in their examination of the interplay among human and pet food ingredient demands.

Along with evidence of spreading germs to people, dogs fed raw pet food may have harbored antibacterial-resistant strains of E. coli.

In the production of pet foods, no different than human foods, there are a number of compounds that make their way into the food that aren’t a part of the formula/recipe or stated on the ingredient listing.

Microbiologists grew antibiotic-resistant Enterococcus bacteria found in pet foods bought in Europe. Although pet food hasn’t been documented passing these germs to people, a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes could be created in the gut of dogs.
