Description:'the incorporation of dogs into the scientific home depended on commercial enterpriseas well as experimental insight. Puppies and puppy feeding became significant objects of economic concern for manufacturers of pet medicine and food. Artificial milk foods developed and marketed with the aim of ensuring ideal nutritional conditions for human infants were one of the most iconic commercial corollaries of the domestic-science movement... Perhaps unsurprisingly given nineteenth-century associations between pets and children, British manufacturers sought to capitalize on the success of these products, developing a range of artificial milk foods for dogs.
