Petco promises to pull food with artificial ingredients from shelves

Episode Summary

San Diego-based pet retailer Petco pledged Tuesday to stop selling all dog and cat food items containing artificial colors, flavors and preservatives by May, throwing out millions in annual sales in the process. The decision, spearheaded by new CEO Ron Coughlin, is indicative of a broader commitment to pet health, and is meant to push the privately held business back in front of pet owners who treat — and feed — their animals as members of the family. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/economy/sd-fi-petco-pet-food-20181113-story.html
