I don't know if anyone has done any reading on pet food companies' position on animal testing their products, I just posted something about it on the Vegan and Vegetarian forum when the subject of vegetarian/vegan pet food came up.

Basically, some of the main pet food companies

actually test their food on pets/lab animals, some of them through vivisection. There are some that do have the 'bunny' logo on their packaging that says 'not tested on animals', but again, some of those were found to have melamine in their products, which directly caused the death of more than a few animals, and were fined accordingly.
