Corn Gluten Meal? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone know if corn gluten meal is a good or bad ingredient in dog and cat food? I have a friend asking for advice but I'm not sure so I thought someone here would know.

its not something i would want in my dogs food. anything corn related is not good as corn is a filler and holds no nutritional value.

Thank you Kellie...I'll let Becky know. Do you know if Innova makes cat food?

Yes, innova makes cat food. Corn in food makes some dogs itch. It made Reese's eyes tear badly....so I switched from Royal Canine to Wellness. No corn and no more tearing.

Yes Innova makes great cat food. My kitty is on Wellness and he loves that too. He's been on it for 5 years now.

Thank you again. I have another question about cats. What causes feline acne? I've laways heard it can come from the bacteria in plastic food dishes so I told her that but what else can cause it?

She's going to get some samples of Wellness to try for her crew.

if its just on the chin then its probably caused from the bacteria build up in the plastic dish. I use stainless steel or ceramic bowls. Never had a probably with feline acne.

I don't think corn gluten meal is harmful (unless it's from China

) , but it is more of a binder or filler and no company who makes "premium" brands will use it.
