關於FDA研究報告說明...............................................................................
上周FDA發佈一則有關一份正在進行調查中的研究報告說明。報告中，FDA不斷強調，這份研究中沒有辦法證明因餵食某飼糧而造成犬隻擴張性心肌病的關聯性。Blue Buffalo身為一個由毛孩爸媽建立、健康天然寵糧的美國第一領導品牌，我們希望讓跟我一樣關心家中寵物的你們更了解有關此FDA申明和Blue Buffalo正在怎麼做。
Blue Buffalo一直以來密切地和美國兩大寵物食品協會FDA和PFI合作研究有關此議題。Blue Buffalo科學研究者與其他寵物食品製造者聚在一起研究犬隻擴張性心肌病和其成因。
Blue Buffalo正在執行以下措施以更進一步確保我們的食品安全無疑慮：
* 所有Blue Buffalo天然糧正進行飼糧配方強化和餵食測試以確保寵物食品安全性並能符合所有營養標準
* 所有Blue Buffalo配方都含有天然牛磺酸來源，包含鮮肉-最優質牛磺酸來源並且做為第一主成分
* 所有Blue Buffalo無穀天然糧配方都有添加甲硫胺酸，一種在犬隻身體中可轉換成牛磺酸的必需胺基酸
* 所有Blue Buffalo大型犬及高齡犬無穀配方皆含有更高含量的的牛磺酸比例。
* 所有Blue Buffalo配方皆在進行餵食測試，其中包含消化性測試、營養價值分析，以確保寵物食品安全及功效
Blue Buffalo正在對所有上週FDA分享的資訊及數據做評估。這些資訊也會被運用來作為犬隻擴張性心肌病的研究。我們會同步更新任何最新資訊給毛爸媽消費者們。

Blue Buffalo Company Statement on DCM
BLUE BUFFALO·2019年7月1日 星期一
Last week, the FDA released a new statement regarding its ongoing investigation into reports of canine DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy). In this report, the FDA continues to state that there has been no definitive link between feeding a particular diet and the development of DCM. As a wholesome natural brand created by pet parents for pet parents, we at Blue Buffalo wanted to update you on this FDA statement and give you more information on what Blue Buffalo is doing in response to the ongoing study of canine DCM.
Blue Buffalo has been actively working with the FDA and the Pet Food Institute, the leading pet food industry association that represents over 98% of US pet food and treats, to study this issue, and Blue Buffalo scientists have come together with other pet food makers to further advance our understanding of canine DCM and its causes.
Here is what Blue Buffalo is doing to help ensure the safety of our products:
· All Blue Buffalo formulas undergo robust formulation, manufacturing and testing processes to help ensure their safety, efficacy and compliance with all nutrient requirements.
· All Blue Buffalo formulas contain natural sources of taurine, including meat, an excellent source of taurine and the first ingredient of all Blue Buffalo formulas.
· All Blue Buffalo grain-free dry dog formulas are supplemented with methionine, which can be converted to taurine in a dog’s body.
· All Blue Buffalo large breed and senior grain-free dry dog foods are supplemented with additional taurine.
· All Blue Buffalo formulas undergo feeding studies, including digestibility and nutrient analyses, to help ensure their safety and efficacy.
Blue Buffalo is evaluating all of the data shared by the FDA last week, and will be utilizing this data in our own research regarding canine DCM. We will continue to keep pet parents updated on this important issue.
