Are horses in dog food?

Pet food companies in the United States cannot use horse meat, according to the Equine Protection Network, which is a group dedicated to making a difference for abused, neglected and slaughter-bound horses. The main reason for this is because U.S. companies make more profit by selling it to countries where people eat the meat. This does not stop horse meat from making its way back into the United States as an "animal" by-product or "animal" digest. Animal digest is the remains of pretty much any part of any animal (blood, teeth, hair, fat, muscle, viscera) from anywhere (roadkill, shelter animals, euthanized pets and horses, undesirable meat from livestock, etc.). Cheaper dog foods contain by-products and animal digest.

All the scientists have been doing tests and have confirmed that horse-meat is in any different types of meat. It will not affect you, so if you are worried, don't be. It wont poison you.

Samples of meat and other products are periodically taken from a batch and tested for purity, thus allowing the manufacturer to identify a source of contamination. The risk of horse meat in other foods can be quite high, especially if the horse meat being used is not free of chemicals. Tainted horse meat can cause death if eaten.
