Pet Food - Do you know what your pet is eating?
Pet Food Manufacturers
create brand names you are familiar with, but are you
familiar with the manufactures themselves? Our guess is
yes and no. Do you know what your pet is eating? Pet
food matters! There may be a huge discrepancy between
what you THINK you are feeding your pet and what they
are ACTUALLY eating. The pet food manufacturer's would
like you to believe you are giving your pets nutritious
grains and whole meats. This may actually be the
furthest thing from the truth!
What most consumers don't know is that the pet food
industry is an extension of the human food and
agriculture industries. Pet food provides a market
for slaughterhouse offal, grains considered "unfit
for human consumption," and similar waste products
to be turned into profit. This waste includes
intestines, udders, esophagi, and possibly diseased
and cancerous animal parts. -- Source Animal

What's Really in Dog Food
and you may change what you are feeding your
pets!
However, about 50% of every food-producing animal
does not get used in human foods. Whatever remains
of the carcass -- bones, blood, intestines, lungs,
ligaments, and almost all the other parts not
generally consumed by humans -- is used in pet food,
animal feed, and other products. These "other parts"
are known as "by-products," "meat-and-bone-meal," or
similar names on pet food labels. -- Source

You may have noticed a unique, pungent odor when you
open a new bag of pet food -- what is the source of
that delightful smell? It is most often rendered
animal fat, restaurant grease, or other oils too
rancid or deemed inedible for humans. -- Source
