CitesJohn W. Patton
Description:'It is unnecessary to tell veterinarians who Doctor Patton is. However, his articles on commercial dog foods have been discussed so widely outside of the veterinary profession that some breif mention of his training and qualifications for nutritional investigation seems in order. He holds as B.S. degree from the Michigan State College, and an M.S. from the Kansas State College. In addition he has taken special courses at the Michigan and Kansas Colleges and at the Massachusetts State College and Colombia University. His positions with educational institutions and in state work include: Agricultural Extension Service of Texas; Health of Animals Branch, Experiment Farms, Ottowa, Canada; Assistant Professor of Animal Husbandry, Massachusetts State College; Assistant Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology, Michigan State College. For six years he has been studying and investigating canine nutrition and during the past two years, he has devoted all his time to that line of investigation. - Editor.' (138)

CitesU. Sinclair, The Jungle (New York: Doubleday, Page & Co., 1906).
Description:'As was to be expected, these studies on commercial dog foods were received with varying reactions. We were threatened with suits for libel on one hand and credited with revealing a "Jungle" on the other. We aimed to provide pertinent information for the veterinarian, but numerically speaking, our greatest response came from outside the profession. All told, more than a hundred thousand reprints were required to supply the demand. Requests for reprints came from individuals in all walks of life and from various business interests, both in this and in most other foreign countries. These studies have been widely quoted and abstracted mosltly in other than veterinary publications.' (143)

Description:'Scientific findings and experience agree
The writer has one food in mind, that he considers the most adequate food procurable in a can. He was, and still is, interested in finding out if this particular brand is as satisfactory in the opinion of veterinarians and dog owners as it appeared to be on biological test. In two years of such questioning he has heard only one complaint and that by a veterinarian who decries all commercial dog foods - one of the back-number, old timers referred to in the foregoing. Experience and biological test agree on this food, as they will on others. We can go a step farther and say that the reason the dog owner changes from brand to brand is primarily lack of adequacy, although he may never have thought of adequacy in biological terms.' (140)
