Exclamation I Contacted Hill's Science Diet....

Ok, I went right to the source to try to find out why they add corn to there formula since everyone here was saying how bad it is for them.

In no way am I trying to start a argument, I am just trying to get the facts so I can feed my baby a healthy diet. I do have a pdf. file from them that explains corn and why they add it, so if anyone is interested in that I can email it to you, send me a email and I will forward it to you.

Dear Melissa :

Thank you for visiting HillsPet.com and contacting us with your
question. Your interest in our company and our products is greatly
appreciated.

The ground corn we use is the entire kernel that has been milled and
ground consistently to the size of ground coffee. It provides an
excellent source of protein, fat and carbohydrate. In this form it has been
shown to be very digestible. The processed corn we use is more digestible
than the fresh corn we humans normally eat. Cereal protein when mixed
with animal protein or supplemented with certain amino acids is just as
good as meat protein. Vegetable fats such as that found in ground corn
are an excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids.

Please find additional information attached for your review.

We appreciate you taking the time to contact us. If you have any
further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call our Consumer
Affairs Department toll free at 1-800-445-5777 or visit HillsPet.com.

Sincerely,


Deann Jurgensmeier
