Why is horse meat healthy for your dog?
Horse meat is one of the healthiest kinds of meat. It is a low-fat nutrient, rich in iron and vitamin B.

Horse meat comes from animals that move a lot, that eat healthy food and lead a full life. Indeed, most horses are not bred for slaughter. All of this contributes to the quality of the meat. In addition, horses do not suffer diseases such as BSE, swine fever or bird flu.

Therefore, it is not surprising that horse meat is one of the healthiest protein sources for both humans and pets.
 
Did you know that horsemeat was the primary, indeed the only, meat ingredient used in canned dog food until the 1940’s?! Horse was so popular in fact that dog food companies owned their own horse meat supplies. Then WWII, with the ensuing shortage of horses and metal, coupled with the advent of dry food, spelt the end for the canned food industry.
