Current scientific knowledge and regulatory standards require that we use animals in the process of developing these products, both to safeguard humans and to direct the basic research process prior to testing in people. It is our policy to use the minimum number of animals necessary for this work and to progress toward the goals of reduction, refinement and replacement of animal use on an ongoing basis. We are currently working hard to identify screening techniques which can take the place of animal tests in the earliest phase of drug discovery. Pet Nutrition Research Policy: We help dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives through innovative nutrition and pet care products. We feed our foods first to dogs and cats to help us develop nutrition that delivers true health benefits to millions of pets worldwide. We make sure that the dogs and cats we work with receive the best care; they are cared for to the standard that we as pet owners would give our own pets. They only help us in studies that are the equivalent of those done with human volunteers, and are adopted into loving homes or placed in our retirement facility when their help is no longer needed. At the same time, we are working hard on alternatives to find even better ways of getting this information and eliminating the need for research with other animals. Consumer Goods Research Policy: In the past, scientific and legal requirements meant that safeguarding consumers' health invariably involved the use of animal tests. Governments tell us that it is currently not possible to avoid all animal use and maintain the same levels of health protection. At the same time, some of our consumers tell us they want to see more progress on use of alternatives. We therefore work with interested partners to develop alternatives that offer the same level of health protection as current animal-based tests and we will help promote their acceptance. We are also working with governments around the world to challenge remaining legal requirements to test on animals and to find other options wherever possible. In this way we will work to limit and ultimately eliminate animal testing for chemicals. In the meantime, we do not test our products on animals unless forced to do so by law.
