COMPANY C* VS. THE TRUTH
(RESPONSE TO MATERIAL [CHART AND
FOOTNOTES] CIRCULATED AT A NATIONAL
VETERINARY CONVENTION BY COMPANY C)
Company C: The chart states that Wysong Maintenance contains
ground whole corn as the first and primary ingredient.
Truth Response: This is incorrect. The first ingredient is chicken, which
is the entire chicken minus the feathers. All other foods that they list,
including Product C, contain yellow corn as the primary ingredient. Dogs
are not herbivores. They are carnivores. It is universally understood that
meat products are superior to ground yellow corn for the canine. Meat
products can be seven to ten times more costly per pound than ground
yellow corn.
Company C: States that Wysong products are not in compliance
with AAFCO regulations.
Truth Response: States require AAFCO compliance in order for a
product to be sold. Wysong products are registered in every state in the
country by registrars who do whatever is necessary to maintain compliance
(even though we disagree with much of it). Company C does not
indicate how the Wysong label is not in compliance; they simply make the
unsupported claim that it is not.
