PFI understands how you feel about your pets because our pets are part of our families, too. We want the best for them, and for all furry family members. Our website (www.petfoodinstitute.org) is full of scientific, research-backed information to help you make the right choices when it comes to feeding your cat or dog. PFI Director of Communications and Membership, Kelly Kanaras, shares her journey with her dog Grendel through his cancer diagnoses and the mass amounts of misinformation she found about pet nutrition.
Misinformation about pet nutrition is dangerous in the best of times. But it's especially dangerous - and we are more susceptible to it - when we are emotional and scared. Read below about my journey with misinformation about my dog, Grendel, was diagnosed with cancer. And more importantly, how we can avoid this pitfall.
