If you are hearing a lot of news of corn being an OK ingredient, and healthy and OK for people, you may be inclined to believe this message. After all, wouldn't it be easier for all of us to eat our fill of corn and high fructose corn syrup? We have it everywhere! It is the number one ingredient in our grocery stores. Many people are employed by corn and corn based food production. Our economy partially runs on corn.
I wish I could make all of this true. I really do. But the fact is, our pancreas, our liver and our organs do not process corn or its sugars effectively, and it ends up being stored as fat. Simple facts are hard to dispute, despite all the talk.
This is the same fact for our dogs. They can not eat corn and live in a healthy manner. It just does not happen. If you are looking for a reason, blame it on how the corn sugar is not absorbed, and how their is really no nutrition in this kernel.
Dogs need minerals and vitamins from meat, vegetables and from nothing else. It is part of their makeup in the wild to hunt and kill a rabbit, a small animal and eat it raw. They will eat roots, and other berries when they find them. They would never be able to process corn, it is just not a food that they would be able to eat and find nutrition.
Even with added minerals and vitamins, this is not going to provide their skin, their organs or their bones the valuable nutrition they need. Stay as far as you can from corn, and any corn based foods. You have the power to vote with your purchases and will bring great health and life your dog.
