+1 on the Canidae! That's the stuff we feed our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, aka Toller. His name is Rogue, named for the river in Oregon.

I was amazed when I adoted my German Pischer from the humane society back in may, and decided to buy him good quality dog food. When I went to the store I realized ALL of the brands were just corn meal- even the very expensive ones. Some say "1st ingredient is meat", but they accomplish that by listing different corn products as seperate ingredients, so it's still really just corn meal. I found that Candidae grain free was the only thing I could get locally ($50/bag) that seemed even remotely suited for a dog, so I'm feeding him that. Dogs certainly didn't evolve to eat a diet of mostly corn meal, it can't possibly be healthy. The only corn my dog gets is when I let him chew on a corn cob like a bone...
