Jeffrey T. LeJeune, DVM PhD, Assistant Professor, Food Animal Health Research Program, OARDC, The Ohio State University, is doing a research project that will give you some specific answers about the animal you are personally feeding and ALL DOG OWNERS knowledge so that we can make an intelligent decision about feeding (1) raw, (2) home cooked or (3) commercial diets to our dogs.
On January 24, 2005 I received the following E-mail:
Dear Mr. Cusick,
In this regard we are looking for individuals who feed raw diets (and an equal number of home or commercial diet-fed)to their dogs. We simply ask for a small sample of the dogs food, a fecal sample, the dust from the home's vacuum cleaner bag and a brief survey. If you have any contacts, or ways to disseminate this information, I would greatly appreciate getting the word out. We pay all the laboratory costs, even the shipping, and report the results back to the owners.
Thanks for your assistance,

I urge all dog owners, no matter what type of diet they are now feeding a dog, to contact Dr. LeJeune and have their dog's diet tested.

I applaud you web site "FOR MOST DOMESTICATED DOGS A RAW FOOD DIET IS NOT THE ANSWER" Making people appear of the both the risks and advantages of feeding commercial, raw and home-prepared food is terribly needed. In an effort to advance the state of knowledge on this subject, our laboratory is currently conducting a scientific study to determine some of the health
benefits/risk, if any of feeding raw meat diets to dogs.
