Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these companies included on the 'Do Test' list?
The
following companies manufacture products that ARE tested on animals.
Those marked with a t
are currently observing a moratorium (i.e., current suspension of) on
animal testing. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban.
Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either
the company listed or, if applicable, its parent company. For a complete
listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit
the company's Web site or contact the
company directly for more information. Companies on this list may
manufacture individual lines of products without animal testing (e.g.,
Clairol claims that its Herbal Essences line is not animal-tested). They
have not, however, eliminated animal testing from their entire line of
cosmetics and household products.
Similarly, companies on this list may make some
products, such as pharmaceuticals, that are required by law to be tested
on animals. However, the reason for these companies' inclusion on the
list is not the animal testing that they conduct that is required by
law, but rather the animal testing (of personal-care and household
products) that is not required by law.
What can be done about animal
tests required by law?
Although animal testing of pharmaceuticals and
certain chemicals is still mandated by law, the arguments against using
animals in cosmetics testing are still valid when applied to the
pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries are regulated
by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection
Agency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that
kill animals in order to bring their products to market to convince the
regulatory agencies that there is a better way to determine product
safety. PETA is actively working on this front by funding the
development and validation of non-animal test methods and providing
input through our involvement on government advisory committees at both
the national and international levels. Companies often resist progress
and, instead of using human-relevant non-animal tests, choose to use
animal tests because their results can be manipulated. Let companies
know how you feel about this.

Companion-Animal Food Manufacturers
What's wrong with
pet food?
Caring
consumers might never guess that thousands of dogs, cats
and other sensitive animals are confined in laboratories
for years on end and subjected to cruel experiments in
order to test dog and cat food.
To expose this
tragedy, PETA conducted a nine-month undercover
investigation of a laboratory that performed cruel animal
tests for Iams and other major companion-animal food
companies. What our investigator uncovered, including the
following, would outrage anyone with a heart:
Experimenters
who severed dogs' vocal cords in order to keep them
quiet
Sick dogs who
were languishing in their cages without veterinary care
These animals
suffered so that Iams and other companion-animal food
companies could slap "new and improved" labels on their
products. The following companies make top-quality food for
dogs and cats—without harming animals in laboratories.
Please help us drive animal abusers out of business by
buying only from these companies. Companies not on this list
either responded that they do conduct laboratory experiments
on animals or they failed to respond to our numerous
inquiries and are assumed to conduct laboratory experiments
on animals.
For more
information about how dog and cat food is contaminated with
cruelty and to find the most up-to-date list of companies
that don't test on animals, check out
