Yes, most dog foods such as Iams, Science Diet, Pedigree, etc.  Are  
made with ingredients which are not fit for humans.  The meat is  
called four-D meat.  The four D's stand for dead, diseased, dying, or  
downed/destroyed.
This meat is rendered at high temperatures which kills bacteria but  
which also alters the nutritional values.  The grain used by these  
companies to make dog food is also unfit for humans to eat.   
Frequently these foods are preserved with EQ, BHA, or BTH.  All of  
these things have been banned for use in humans.

There are companies out there which use USDA approved meat which is  
fit for humans.  These companies also use human grade grains, and they  
are preserved with things like Vitamin E.  This means that they have a  
shorter shelf-life than foods with harsher preservatives, but they are  
healthier.
I haven't feed commercial food in over ten years so I have no idea  
which foods are human grade and which are not.

There is extensive information on the internet about this should you  
wish to do your own research.
