Congratulations to our team members, Alexandra Rankovic and Dr. Jackie Parr, who coauthored a published study investigating the inaccuracies of measuring cups for preparation of a pet’s daily food ration. Along with the Ontario Veterinary College’s Dr. Jason Coe as the lead author, their paper entitled, Dog owner’s accuracy measuring different volumes of dry dog food using three different measuring devices, was published in the BMJ Journals Vet Record.
The study, investigated the accuracy of dog owner’s measuring skills and found inaccuracies ranging from a 48 percent underestimation to a 152 percent overestimation, depending on the device they used and the amount they tried to portion out.
