Why not use pork in pet food?
Just wondering why they don't use pork in pet foods? For alternative protein sources I would think it would be a good choice and easier to acquire then bison or venison or am I missing something?

I don't know why they don't but I sure am glad they don't - Amber cannot tolerate pork!

There are companies who use pork in some of their formulas, for example Eagle Pack. Pork is often used in Performance formulas because of its high fat content.

Feed lots have dog food made from Pork, it contains alot of corns and stuff so I have never tried it.
It is very fatty too, so perhaps that is another reason. I feed my guys pork with no ill effects, but not on a regular basis. I wouldnt want them consuming such a fatty meat daily.

Well, if they had a ham flavoured canned food, my dogs and cats would be all over it.
I don't cook ham often, just the hubby and me, so always way too much left over, but when I do, I have lots of eager furry faces just dying to get a treat. Cindy |

I have seen it in others besides Eagle Pack too but can't remember which ones.

I guess I didn't think about the fatty part. Although I thought that a littlle more fat was good for dogs???

Pork-flavored cat foos
Friskies makes a turkey and bacon canned food. Hound and Gatos makes a port-flavored canned food, and By Nature makes a pork and sweet potato dry food. The latter two can be found on chewy.com. I have not tried them - the canned food is expensive and I can't imagine my cats liking sweet potatoes.
