for Dogs Many of the commercial
dog food companies would have us believe that they actually use human grade meat in the production of their food, when in fact the sources of this «meat» are not even fit
for animal consumption.In some areas of North America this list can also include euthanized companion animals from clinics and shelters, roadkill, zoo animals, livestock which die from
disease or disability.The «meat» is purchased from a rendering plant which also receives material from slaughterhouses such as hair, feathers, hooves and any part of the mammal which is condemned
for human consumtion.

Throughout their analysis of plague in prairie
dogs, they concluded that such
diseases may «smolder» unnoticed in a population
for years, rather than jump from species to species immediately before an outbreak.
Colorado State University biologists say this sporadic ebb and flow of prairie

for the study of rare infectious zoonotic
disease —
disease that can jump from wildlife to humans — like MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and Ebola.

disease phenotypes that are not fixed within breeds and were not the subject of selection
for novelty.
Gene therapy shows significant progress
for restoring muscle strength and prolonging lives in
dogs with an incurable, inherited neuromuscular
disease
In contrast, the strongest signals of diversifying selection in
dogs are all associated with either body size / shape or hair / pigmentation traits, and therefore are unlikely to have been under selection
for disease resistance, metabolic adaptations, or behavior.
But are mice and rats good models
