As for corn as the first ingredient, you are right those dog food are horrible but some of these other dog foods are just as bad because the manufacturers have learned they can split up all the grains which will make each different type of grain weigh less than the protein source but when you add up all the different grains listed the dog food will end up containing lots of grain and not much quality protein.

Absolutely - out in the wild, they would eat whatever they could find. I just tend to be such a health nut, that I 'try' to pass it on to my dogs - I don't think they agree with me though. Although, the adults do love fresh veggies. They know when it's time to feed the guinea pig and cockatiel, and they beg for her veggies.
