From the link from klmccallum:

Pet food may be dry, semi-moist, or moist, and can be made from meat, organs, and/or animal by-
products from cattle, poultry, pork, lamb, or fish.


So it looks like even muscle meat.

Regulations concerning non-boivine products ( this is what NV is in the midst of doing)

Commercially prepared pet food, in cans or retortable pouches, and pet treats
Commercially prepared and processed pet food, pet treats, and compound/stuffed pet chews
containing animal by-products (e.g. meat, fish, organ meats, bone meal, meat meal, blood meal,
fish meal, rendered animal fats, gluestock):

United States:

i)
Pet food containing non-bovinae ingredients from the United States (U.S.) (i.e.
poultry, fish, pork)

Import permit – required to import the pet food. An import permit will be issued by

Headquarters, only after the successful completion of a risk assessment. The attached

Facility Questionnaire: Importation of Pet Foods/Treats/Compound Chews from the U.S.
Containing Only Non-Bovinae Animal Ingredients (Annex 2) must be completed and
submitted with the import permit application.

Once the permit is approved, the following documents must accompany each shipment:


Import permit

Importer Statement of Compliance
Each non-bovinae shipment must be accompanied by the Importer Statement of
Compliance (Annex 5), using the importer’s letterhead, signed, dated, and linked to
the shipment.

Canada Customs Invoice (CCI), or a commercial invoice
The CCI must link to the shipment and clearly describe the product(s) being imported,
indicating the country of origin and end use.
ii)
Pet food containing bovinae ingredients from the U.S. (cattle, bison, buffalo, and
exotics)
