Assembly to consider dog food rate and regulation
Richmond reports the General Assembly will be asked to set a price for canned dog food as part of regulating the product. S. S. Smith, director of the Dairy and Food Division, notes dog food is a $20 million item with significant market volume and is already supervised by Alabama, California, Florida, Kentucky and North Dakota.
