For dogs, I know most labs use purina dog chow. Thats what I feed my little furry kids and they are in excellent health..

Labs want healthy animals for a month or two before they kill the animal. No offense, but they could care less about what they feed their experiments.

The vet I met with stated that what is causing the chronic diseases in animals is the food we are feeding them.
I.e. the food is MAKING them ill, not the other way round, they get ill so they need a special diet.
