Royal Canin Uses 160 Cats and Dogs to Taste-Test Premium Pet Food
At a Royal Canin research facility in France, roughly 160 cats and dogs sample pet food formulas while nutritionists track their preferences, behavior and stool quality to refine recipes. The work comes as U.S. cat food spending topped $17 billion over the past year, up 14% from two years prior, according to The New York Times.
