"Pettao is a movement of diet and nutrition for domestic dogs and cats" - No, it's the name of a company that produces pet food and is not used in the context claimed here. The article is thus a promotional hoax. There are no references cited to show the term is notable and I could not find any. Neither could I find any to show the company itself is notable.

 * Delete whether considered as a 'movement' or a company, I'm not seeing any reliable sources on this. Nothing on Google News, nor on variants like Pet Tao, Pet-Tao, etc. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete More like spamvertisment for a holistic pet food company, with no reliable secondary sources discussing it. Non-notable and most likely spam. Angryapathy (talk) 19:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only the inflated claims in the article, an appeal to holistic sentiment in the pet owner and Wikipedia editor coupled with some pseudo science (the equivalent of a guy in a lab coat in a TV ad), must have prevented this from getting speedied. Drmies (talk) 01:13, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Requested Page Move- The article has been edited and has undergone a requested page move in order to reflect the better title Integrated Veterinary Diet. References to Pettao have been changed to IVD. In addition, the section in the article referring to Pettao has been deleted. Instructions were followed according to Wikipedia Requested Moves. The subject of the article is notable and significant per content therein; also per the history and development of the movement and the prominent educational institutions and veterinary and animal science professionals involved in the movement; eg Chi, Univ. of Florida, Dr. Xie, Pruitt and others.

 * "Integrated Veterinary Diet" doesn't show up at all on Google itself, much less Google News. So if anything it's even less verifiable under that title than it was under pettao or pet tao or whatever. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  03:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Changing the name of the page still doesn't solve the lack of reliable sources or WP:SYN/WP:OR issues, and changing the name to something even more obscure is very much a step in the wrong direction. If this is something that is truly notable, the article name/topic would show up often. I still say delete, and no the move. Angryapathy (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Is Pettao genuinely a movement, or is it one man trying to sell animal food? There are many integrated veterinary diets under various names. Is this an attempt by a supplier to hijack a generic name as a tradename? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:40, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy G11. Definitely a page that's "exclusively promotional".  Appropriate tag added.  If the speedy is declined, fails WP:CORP and WP:ADS. Tevildo (talk) 22:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
