Description:

'Countering this move for an improvement of canned dog food a group comprising manufacturers of uninspected canned dog food have organized the "American Canned Dog Food Institute" with the stated purpose of "improving standards of manufacture and business procedure by self-regulation and by co-operation with federal, state and municipal officials and other members of the industry wherever possible."

Veterinary Medicine has warned its readers so often against the use of uninspected canned dog foods that further comment seems unnecessary. It may be mentioned, however, that those active in the "American Dog Food Institute" are in the main those who were active in attempting (unsuccessfully) to put over a nefarious canned dog food code two or three years ago and later formed a canned dog food manufacturers' association (short-lived), the object of which was fully exposed in Veterinary Medicine at the time. It was the operators of non-inspected plants whose products Senator Dickinson described last spring as "a product of filth and putrefaction."' (32)
