It is said that you learn something new everyday and today i learnt that all ingredients used for pet food have to be fit for human consumption according to EU requirements.
It doesn't seem to be the case elsewhere in the World where standards are different but in the European Union, pet food is regulated and requires that pet food which uses bits and pieces that a human cannot eat is clearly labelled 'Pet Food Only'.
As most pet foods is made from the scraps left on the bone after he best bits have been removed and then blasted off, this is the same process used for sausages and chicken nugget type foods and most people people seem to manage to eat those okay, or feed them to their children at any rate then it makes sense.
If you have found yourself looking at that can of Rover's Pedigree Chum jealously, dig in but after a few days of tucking into Chicken in a nourishing marrowbone jelly you find you have the urge to get close to a lamp-post, it may be time to cut back a bit.
