Default Is Eating Pet Food Hazardous To Humans?

If you just eat a little bit of dog food, probably nothing will
happen. But you don't really know that for sure because dog food is
not subjected to the same health and safety regulations that human
food is required to have.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is
responsible for setting human food safety guidelines to prevent
sickness due to contaminated or improperly handled products. In
addition, the FDA is responsible for ensuring that food product labels
are accurate in terms of ingredient listing and nutritional content.

Dog food does not have these same strict rules that human food has.
Although most dog food contains the same basic components that are in
people food — protein, carbohydrates and fats — the proportions of
these ingredients are different than in human food and can be harmful
if ingested in significant quantities or for prolonged periods of
time. The same is true if you feed a dog the wrong proportion of these
nutrients by giving it an unbalanced human diet.

Dog food contains many of the same ingredients as human food, like
chicken, meat, and vegetables, but it may also contain animal by-
products — for example, ground-up animal bones or organs like the
intestines.

The best advice is to keep dog food for dogs and human food for
humans!
