Dog owners don’t know what is in the food they are feeding their dogs. Have you tried to read a dog food label lately? Did you understand it?

Look down the list of your commercial dog food, and you will likely see something that sounds like “meat meal.” Want to know what that is?

Would you believe meat meal is made up of dead dogs and cats? Animal shelters and highway road crews send their euthanized animals and their “road kill” to rendering plants. Often the animals are still wearing flea collars, ID tags, and some are wrapped in plastic bags. This delightful stew is then rendered down to make meat meal, or its equivalent.
