Well as we all know- Mad Cow Disease is an issue again. My question
that I really have been pounding for the answer is-

They use cow bi-products, scraps, pretty much the junk meat that they
cannot get away with selling in supermarkets in dog foods. Now, since
they use crappy meat anyhow, can they use the meat off of these
diseased cows for dog food, and who would really know the difference
if they did? Can our dogs get sick from this? It is really bothering
me- I am about to turn my dogs into vegetarians..lol. Kidding, but
seriously, due to not knowing, I am putting them on Lamb and Rice or
something else until I find out. I have posted this to many message
boards in hopes for someones help.

I have read that cats can get a form of the disease, and I believe that dogs can as well. Its really pretty rare in our domestic pets, I think maybe 3 have contracted it ever. If I remember the article right.
