I don't have a dog, but I do have a 21-month-old who loves them and so
wound up buying a copy of Bark, "the modern dog culture magazine." As she
was happily paging through all those pictures of doggies, I spotted a
full-page ad on page 3 for puppy food enhanced with natural DHA.
The photo features a cute side-by-side shot of a puppy and an older baby
with the caption: "There's no magic formula for raising them. Now there is
for feeding them. All growing minds need DHA." The smaller text gives
further detail and it struck me funny (funny odd not funny ha-ha) that
substituting "baby" for "puppy" would yield an entirely serviceable ad for
infant formula.
In a way I suppose the ad is a plug for human formula with DHA since it's
implied that both species benefit from DHA-containing "magic formula." No
mention of the source of the DHA other than it's natural.
regards,
Julia
