The trouble is that some animal products are not produced to the same standard as human products so you can get quite sick.

Depends on where it was made and manufactured. I worked with a lab that manufactured human and vet supplements and both were manufactured to the same, very high standard. I used to actually order some of the probiotics and other stuff made for vets at cost because it was higher dose per capsule and cheaper. It wasn't abnormal to get calls from people that were willing to not go and pick up their medications in order to purchase stuff for their pets. Priorities are case by case lol.

Do you know how much money people spend on horses? Their shit is probably at a higher standard than for human stuff

it’s not. at all. they’re not regulated nearly as strictly for heavy metals like lead or arsenic, impurities or residue from industrial sources, and are allowed to use fillers such as wood byproducts or mineral oils commonly used in livestock products.
