Does your dogs food label say 'Meat By Product' on it?


Does your dogs food label say 'Meat By Product' on it?Do you really want to feed by products to your dog?

Definition: Meat By-Products are parts of slaughtered animals, NOT INCLUDING MEAT(please note: no muscle meat included). Included are lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, liver, blood, bone, partially defatted low-temperature fatty tissue, and stomach and intestines freed of their contents.
What AAFCO doesn't mention is that meat byproducts may also legally contain: "4D animals (dead, dying, diseased, down), road kill, euthanized cats and dogs, including their collars. These source products are rendered, the fat is siphoned off to be used as "animal fat," and the remaining material is extruded to form "meat by-product meal."
Merle... What a dog kills and eats in the wild is NOTHING like the toxins that the ingredients in that crapinabag have in it. You can not compare any kibble to raw fed in nature.... That's a no brainer. Break open a piece of your kibble and let me know what you see in it that compares to nature. Or looks, feels, smells, taste anything like what a 'carnivore' would eat in the wild. LOL

I would never feed something that is labeled "meat by-product". My dogs' food says" Lamb, Chicken, turkey, etc.

That is exactly why I started making my dog's food at home. Even whole chicken meat that is considered "healthy" and is in some of the better brands is denatured meat meaning it is condemned and not fit for human consumption.
Just Gross!!!

yes i do my pet is a dog and he would be eating the same foods if he were wild only sometimes these foods might be more spoiled than what we feed him at my house. dogs are carnivores and eat meat and meat byproducts. wild dogs eat intestines and stomachs often with the feces and stomach contents still in them, much dirtier than the prepared beef by products in their food.
