| corn meal vs corn gluten meal? I was looking for a new cat food today because I have switched my yorkie to Merricks, but realized I was still feeding the cats crap!! Anyway, I had heard lots of people say that Nutro is a good brand, but it has corn gluten meal in it. Does anyone know if this is different than coan meal and if it's ok? The lady at Petsmart said corn gluten is different and they can digest it fine, but just wanted to check with the "experts"

| Corn is corn and is used as a cheap filler by pet food manufacturers. They list it under several different names because by law when they list the ingredients they have to list first what there is most of so if they break the corn down into different names (different in the manufacturing process) they do not have to list it as the number one ingredient. Corn in any form is harder to digest than a meat or fish based protein. |
