The ingredients in hot dogs have been the subject of much humor, rumor and speculation. But the answer is less exciting than the question.
All hot dogs are cured and cooked sausages that consist of mainly pork, beef, chicken and turkey or a combination of meat and poultry. Meats used in hot dogs come from the muscle of the animal and looks much like what you buy in the grocer's case. Other ingredients include water, curing agents and spices, such as garlic, salt, sugar, ground mustard, nutmeg, coriander and white pepper.
If variety meats such as liver and hearts are used in processed meats, the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires the manufacturer to declare those ingredients on the package with the statement "with variety meats" or "with meat by-products." The manufacturer must then specify which variety meat is included. In the U.S., companies are required to list ingredients in order, from the main ingredient, to the least ingredient.

It's made from parts of animals you wouldn't normally want to eat if it weren't in a hot dog (think: pigs' snouts and unused meat scraps).
Of course, if you google it, you'd get the standard answer of meat, meat fat, a "cereal filler" (bread crumbs, oatmeal or flour), a little egg white and spices (onion, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.).

All sorts of stuff and varies widely by brand. Usually the leftover scraps of meats and a lot of preservatives.
It isn't dog, at least not in the US.

Most ppl think it is all meat bi-products. It is not. It IS scrappings of meat, (chicken, beef, pork, turkey)but not the nasty ones.and added with some filler such as oatmeal, flour cereal etc then some spices and ground all up.

People who know.. don't eat them...
People who like to eat them .. don't ASK!!!
Rumors have it.. any bit of meat/fat/body part not good enough to sell someplace else is stuffed into them.
