ETA: If they used mostly corn for protein, then they would need more of it than they would need meat because it's just not very high in it. So they would be spending just as much on corn for a protein or more I would think. Would not be a good business move, imo. It's first on the list because there are more carbs in dog food than protein. If one wants to overfeed protein just to have a meat meal first, second, and sometimes third on the list, that's fine. I just don't see a point to that and I don't believe it is all that healthy.
Corn is not necessary in dog food, but then no grain is technically. So I still don't get what makes it worse than the others. And then we could say carbs aren't truly needed, but I'd never cut them out of my dog's diet and overfeed them protein.
