Corn and Your Dog

Your dog is really going to benefit from this information! Most dog food companies are making a mistake by including any kind of corn, whether it is corn meal, high fructose corn syrup, or other starch replacements. Corn in its natural and chemically changed form is simply not digestible by your dog. That is why if you buy a food that has a lot of corn based feed in its ingredients, you dog will poop a lot too.

There is no nutritional value in corn. It is a filler, and will bring the cost down on your dog food, but, will bring the costs of vet care up. You are not feeding your dog nutrition that can boost immunity, vitamin and mineral levels, or good health standards. Your dog will be suffering from lack of vitamins and minerals, and it will be easy for it to become sick and injured.

Even dogs who have a slight disposition to hip and joint problems, will be more prone to developing these issues, when they do not get the proper nutrition. You dog needs vitamin B, C, and minerals like selenium. If you bring up your dog food to a value of providing great nutrition to your dog, you are going to find that you are at the vet less. Your dog will be happier, as the B vitamins provide a slowly evolving calmness to their nervous system. Your dog's immune system will be very strong.

It is very important to buy nutritious dog food. Stay away from fillers, especially corn!
