[QUOTE="donna723, post: 516872, member: 1883"] Star, the Taste of the Wild dog foods have no corn, they're completely grain free. So many dog foods use corn as a filler and it's one of the most common allergens in dogs. My Ragan is allergic to corn (among other things) and she does great on TOTW. Corn is used as a cheap filler in dog foods. And the real kicker is that dogs can't digest corn! It goes right through them and out the other end. The only thing that corn does for dogs is to give them massive poops from all that indigestible "filler"! No nutritional value at all ... despite the Beneful people proudly showing a big corn cob on their bag like that was a GOOD thing! It's not! And a lot of the canned foods, even some of the more expensive ones, have corn in them if it's used as a thickener. Wheat is another very common allergen for dogs and some are even allergic to beef or poultry. In a pinch, mine can eat the Lamb & Rice foods because there is no corn but you have to read the labels very carefully. It's was hard to find something that all four of mine could eat but they all do great on the TOTW. The only thing is that it's fairly expensive, especially if you have multiple dogs. I wish I could remember the name of it but Tractor Supply has come out with their own brand that is supposed to be comparable to TOTW but not as expensive. My friend has been getting it for her two huge Airedales - she read and compared all the labels and it's [U]very[/U] good food - no grains, no fillers, no artificial colors or flavorings, just the good stuff. It's worth a try anyway. [/QUOTE]
