I have had several vets tell me the same thing.  Seems when dog food is 
manufactured, as long as the percentages of protein, fat, fibre, etc, is met, 
in the US it can have ANY of the ingredients that are listed on the bag.  
Therefore, if the first thing listed is chicken, if pigs feet were cheaper, 
pigs feet are the main ingredient.  According to my vet, you would have to 
buy all the dog food from one processing to get dog food that is truly the 
same.  So far our dogs haven't had any problems -- could it be that some 
dogs, just like people, are more susceptible to food than others?
