Nestlé Purina Petcare is providing seed money to Dogs4Diabetics (D4D), in Concord, Calif., for a proof-of-concept experiment that could be completed in a month.
But the proof of concept will not use dogs. They will use rats according to the article. Then, if the rats work, they will have to shift to dogs—or perhaps beavers as an intermediate step before dogs.
I appreciate the money Purina is funding. but they may have been scammed by another “research group”.
