WDJ's 2008 Approved Dry Dog Foods

[silvaheyes]

Quote from WDJ’s Selection Criteria for DRY Food
• New addition for 2008 is transparency. For the first time, this year we required each company who, in the past, had a product on our "approved dry dog food" list to divulge, for publication, information about their manufacturing sites. Nine companies either refused to tell us or there was no response to our inquiry. Those 9 have been REMOVED from our current approved list of dry foods.

Dry Food REMOVED from Approved List

• Addiction Foods NZ Ltd (Bayu of Plenty, NZ) - refused to discuss maker of foods
• Azmira Holistic Animal Care (Tucson, AZ) - Refused to discuss maker of food
• The Blue Buffalo Company (Wilton, CT) - No response to our inquiry
• Cloud Star Corporation (San Luis Obispo, CA) - Refused to disclose manufacturing location.
