Asian carp goes from water to dog dishes

By Lea Mitchell Wilder Harrier, a Canadian pet food company, is using another unlikely alternative protein source to have a low environmental impact, yet a nutritious meal for dogs. On Nov. 2, the Montreal-based company released a new dog food formula that includes Asian carp, an invasive species in both the United States and Canadian waterways. Philippe Poirier, a co-founder of Wilder Harrier, said the company started experimenting with adding Asian carp into the food a year ago because it saw the environmental threats the fish posed. “We use insect and plant protein, which releases less greenhouse gases [than meat], but we knew there was more we could do for the environment. More recently we started looking at invasive species because they are harming the local ecosystem and killing off native fish populations,” he said.
