If dog food makers cook the food to a high degree of heat why not sell it, I am not beeing funny with you, just would love to know, x
There is pork in dog food. Most dog food lists an ingredient called something like "meat and animal by products" This can be pork depending on the time of year and what the factory purchases.
When I found out that my dog was allergic to pork, I phoned some of the big pet food producers and explained my problem. They were all very helpful and explained that some dog foods and treats almost definitely contain pork; some may or may not contain pork depending on what the factory has purchased, and some few never contain pork.

Now I know precious little about the diet of dogs, but years ago my mum had a book that said that you had to be sure to cook pork well because of the worms problem.
Somebody (was it Hugh F-W?) said recently that, because of the much better standards of animal husbandry now, it's no longer necessary. Could it be, I wonder, that this is where the 'dogs shouldn't eat pork' thing comes from?

We had a pig slaughtering business near us that set up a pet food manufacturing plant to utilise the bits that humans don't eat. They had veterinary back up and did trials, but many of the dogs were found to have high cholesterol after eating it and also some were getting a sort of build up of fatty deposits on their eyes and it was discontinued within months of being launched. Many dogs eat pigs ears and trotters, but these are treats and do not form a large part of their diet.
