About the Pet Food Ratings Project

20 years ago my cat was diagnosed with renal failure.

Like many pets across the world, he was fed a kibble I ignorantly believed to be appropriate.

Once diagnosed, he was prescribed a scientific prescription kibble, and although living several more years, he lived as a much more frail version of himself.
