Strictly
opinion of this poster,
NOT factual information.
Ground corn is
easily digestable. I was told by a VET NUTRITIONIST that in fact, more dogs are allergic to the chicken than the corn in a food, yet erroraneously, people are shot in the foot with corn!! Dont insult your vet by suggesting he is "paid" to push Hills Prescription Diets. (I am reminded of Mark Twains quote, "It is better to sit quietly with your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt")....Hills Prescription Diets are among several of the best, most utilized, most effective prescription diets available for our pets. If your vet has recommended this for your pet, have no fear about his recommendation. Be cautious of anyone's knowledge base that is not familiar with this about this diet. If you want to research FACT about who gets "paid" to push particular foods, take that up with TheDogFoodAdvisor.
Base your choices for your pet on factual information, not opinion. If you choose not to feed a particular dog food because YOU dont like the ingredients, great! The problem arises when "opinion" and "personal choice" is presented as "factual" information.
