CitesCanine Nurses' Institute
Description:'Probably the largest show in the canine world for the year was Cruft's great international function which took place on Feb. 10, 11 and 12 at the Agricultural Hall, Islington.
No expense was spared in the venture and the show was a most important success...
The stalls were a most important section of the show, being small exhibitions in themselves of the leading London firms. Messrs. Spratts & Co., of dog food fame, was one of the most prominent. A special new stand was erected by this firm near the toy dog section which had on exhibition some very beautiful specimens of dog collars and leads. A new food is now being introduced by Messrs. Spratts which is finding world-wide favor and was specially recommended by the canine nurses who were on duty the three days of the show at a special stall erected by the Institute by favor of its supporters.
This new food for puppies is called "Weet Meet." It is very light and wholesome and possesses all the great properties required for muscle and bone-making in young stock.
We were very pleased to note the assistance given by one of the canine nurses who is also a qualified nurse in the London Medical School. A lady who was a little more daring than need be made some undue attention to one of the prize Borzois with the result that the tired animal much resented the treatment. Unfortunately the lady was bitten on the chin. First aid was immediately rendered by the nurse in question, and we hope the danger averted.' (98)

Quoted byT. Quick, 'Puppy Love: Domestic Science, “Women's Work,” and Canine Care,' Journal of British Studies 58 (2) (2019), pp. 289-314.
Description:'Food and feeding enjoyed a prominent place in the professional lives of canine nurses... foods that institute representatives recommended for dogs accorded with those domestic scientists recommended for humans. Thus at a stall at the 1909 Crufts Exhibition, “a new food … being introduced by Messrs. Spratts’, called ‘Weetmeet’, made with whole wheat rather than refined flour, was being ‘especially recommended by the canine nurses who were on duty…at a special stall erected by the Institute.” [note: '“London Notes from Our Special Representative,” Dogdom 10, no. 2 (April 1909): 98.']' (303)
