Dog food dealers put corn in their food because it is cheap. It's basically a filler. It also has a natural form of sugar in it which makes the animals want to eat it. Many of the foods like the one you have been using also put some form of sugar in their food besides which has helped to cause obesity in animals as well as tooth decay. If you read the ingredient list you will usually find a type of sweetener. I have been feeding a grain free brand of food and mixing it with Stella & Chewy's. Hope you can find a healthy food that is either grain free or at least corn free. I have to order food online as we don't have a good dog food store near by. |
