COI/paid disclosure & process
Thanks for the reminder. I’ve disclosed my COI/paid status on my user page and will avoid direct edits going forward. I’ll use {{request edit}} so uninvolved editors can review any proposed wording. My goal is neutral, source-accurate content. — HeleneM-Editor (talk) 19:14, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Edit request (COI/paid) – History wording for 2016 Vancouver Sun
 | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Disclosure: I have a COI/paid relationship (disclosed on my user page). Requesting an uninvolved editor to implement a small, sourced wording change so the History section reflects the cited article while staying company-focused.
Please change the current History paragraph: Red Dog Blue Kat began producing raw dog and cat food in Metro Vancouver in 2004.[1] A 2016 report in the Vancouver Sun noted rising demand for raw dog food in Canada and quoted company owner Inna Shekhtman in coverage of the expanding raw market. The report also noted that veterinarians are skeptical of the value of raw diets, stating that "There is no scientific evidence of health benefit to the pet". [2] In 2017, Business in Vancouver reported the company’s move to a larger production facility in Port Coquitlam and nationwide distribution through pet stores.[3] A 2022 profile in Food in Canada discussed the firm’s emphasis on minimally processed raw diets and noted a growth partnership with Forage Capital Partners.[4]
to: Red Dog Blue Kat began producing raw dog and cat food in Metro Vancouver in 2004.[1] In 2016, a report in the Vancouver Sun noted rising demand for raw pet food in Canada and quoted company owner Inna Shekhtman in coverage of the expanding raw market. The article also mentioned broader veterinary skepticism of raw diets at the time.[2] In 2017, Business in Vancouver reported the company’s move to a larger production facility in Port Coquitlam and nationwide distribution through pet stores.[3] A 2022 profile in Food in Canada discussed the firm’s emphasis on minimally processed raw diets and noted a growth partnership with Forage Capital Partners.[4]
Rationale: Keeps the *Vancouver Sun* citation, briefly attributes general skepticism (not specific to RDBK), and keeps the History section focused on company coverage. Neutral wording; no promotional content.
