We do not carry any invasive, pain-inducing and stress-inducing studies.
Our goal is to gather data from cats and dogs that represent home living. 
In Europe, we have two kennel and cattery facilities. The environment mimics home living. We offer our cats and dogs indoor and outdoor space, daily human companionship, grooming, veterinary care, training, and an adoption program. The tests conducted are all external, including the palatability and digestibility test. 

We also test our pet food through reputable breeders all around the world.
