I don't know what pet food was like in the past, but today it seems to be dominated by flavoured products made of cereals, rather than meat or offal.

- aestra 13y agoDominated? I just checked my cat's food, and the first ingredient is chicken and the second is chicken by product, then corn and the list of supplements. The dominant ingredient is chicken.
- goblin89 13y agoAre you sure there's a regulation regarding listed ingredient order for pet food? And regardless, I bet manufacturers can get away with even more ingredient list manipulation there than with human food—I might be wrong though.
- aestra 13y agoYes I am sure there is a regulation regarding ingredent order in pet food. http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/Products/AnimalFoodFeeds/PetFood/default.htm http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/Products/AnimalFoodFeeds... "...and proper listing of all the ingredients in the product in order from most to least, based on weight."
- goblin89 13y agoChecked my friend's dog's food: lists cereals first, “meat and byproducts” go second in a single item.
- toble 13y agoIt depends on the type and quality. If you purchase a can, then I would hope that it is mostly animal based ingredients. If it is dry food then it will be mostly cereals.
