I don't personally think corn is beneficial. Those who sell food with corn in it will say it is. Just like those who sell food without it will say it's not. Food is a political thing around dog forums and dog people, LOL.

I don't think corn is all evil or anything that it can be made out to be. But I don't think it's necessary at all for a dog, or carnivore. Humans can't even digest it. Jackson ate some corn the other day that dropped on the floor and it was in his poop the next morning, LOL. Just like humans.

I like The Dog Food Project - How does your Dog Food Brand compare? as a reference - she doesn't say corn is "bad" by any means. She just explains a lot of different ingredients, etc.

For my dog, I've found grainfree to work the best for him, thru trial & error and "experiment".
