Dave’s Pet Food Advocates for HABRI

Dave’s Pet Food, a leading manufacturer of high-quality and nutritious food cat and dog food, became an official supporter of the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) and its research on the human health benefits of companion animals.

“In addition to our mission at Dave’s Pet Food to provide pet owners with the food they need to keep their pets health and happy, we’re proud to be supporting HABRI’s efforts to fund scientific research on the health benefits of pets,” said Dave Ratner, founder of Dave’s Pet Food. “The need to provide pets with healthy, high-quality food is an essential part of strengthening the human-animal bond.”

Steven Feldman, executive director of HABRI said, “Supporting HABRI helps raise awareness of the health benefits of the human-animal bond, which we know motivates pet owners to take better care of their pets. HABRI is grateful for the support from Dave and Dave’s Pet Food and looks forward to working together to help pet owners take the best possible care of their pets.”

Scientific evidence suggests pets can boost heart health, alleviate depression, improve well-being, support child health and development, and contribute to healthy aging, according to media reports. HABRI survey research demonstrates that understanding the scientific research behind the human-animal bond motivates pet owners to take better care of their pets, including providing pets with high-quality nutrition and maintain their veterinary health.
