| Thanks for the reply, the reason I asked is that it is very hard to find a dog food, that doesn't use some form of corn, as an ingredient. But they do not all use the corn in the same form nor for the same reason, all foods that have corn are not corn based or use as a primary filler, in the right form corn can actually be a good source of protien, it is definitely not toxic or something to be avoided at all cost. I am not defending corn based foods or saying that certain forms used strictly as a filler is correct, but the fact the word corn is in a label does not make the particular food bad for your dog. It is more important on the formed used and for what purpose, it definitely should not be the base. There have been reports of corn and other ingredients in dog food that have caused allergic reaction in certain dogs, this have never been my experience personally, I have had problems with my dogs not doing well with a particular food and switched to a different food with some common ingredients and the problem ceased.  |
