Good advice! 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

Corn is fine once it's cooked with an alkali of some sort (eg hominy cooked in lye or calcium oxide, masa from central america, etc). Without that pre-digestion, many of the nutrients are unavailable and the starch is hard to digest since it won't soften up very well in short cooking
