And also because it's considered a cheap, unnecessary filler.

Check out The Dog Food Project - How does your Dog Food Brand compare? for more info - I really like her site. I find it fair and unbiased.

Thank you...I will check out the link.

Corn dosent digest well in humans or dogs. Also some bad dog foods will use as one of the top ingredients and it's not great to do that meat should be in the top ingredients first.

Mags and Jazzie get 1/4 cup twice a day. They eat Wellness Adult For Small Breed.

He was on pedigree, the vet recommended Royal Canin and Pets at home recommended Wainright (not sure on the spelling) brand as it is 'natural'.

However, Dexter will eat everything including fluff and horse poo, so it's up to you to find the best for him. Bakers makes him throw up. And he loves any wet food and will eat as much as possible.

Really not sure if that helps...

Good morning! I think the reason Pets at Home recommend Wainwright's is because they produce it....

Applaws is good, it's another Harry favourite!

I actually found the whole range of Royal Canin at our local garden centre with a pet bit in it....the whole range, in every size And that's where I found Acana, too! Sometimes, it's all in the most random places! Sally + Harry x

I feed Gracie a grain free frozen raw food. Many of the common grocery store pet food are made of beef or other by products and not true meat. It's the stuff that no human would eat. There are a lot of other fillers that are not helpful to your dog at all. How much you feed has a lot to do with the quality of the food you are giving your pet. While your pet may do well on grocery store foods many vets feel that the long term effects of the foods on your pet are harmful.
