If Cider eats corn it comes out pretty much yellow and whole. Doesn't look like it's more than 50% digestible.
I imagine you'd see the same thing if you fed her raw rice. Raw, unprocessed grains are not very digestible, but the grains in dog food are processed and cooked.

I feed both my dogs Pinnacle's Trout and Sweet Potato

Everything I have read in this post positive about corn is counter to what I have heard and seen up until now. I am not sure why that is. Once we switched both dogs to the Pinnacle their coats got quite a bit shinier and Kona's eyes stopped discharging the yellow gunk. She still has a little discharge but it is one tenth of what she used to have. We were feeding her Nutro which seemed pretty good but something was causing her to react.

Thanks,

Hans

We're not advocating foods like Iams, Eukanuba, or Nutro. There is a fairly general consensus on this forum that they are poor foods.

However, companies like Eagle Pack make great canine formulas and they do include corn in some of their foods. This is based on years of research that they have conducted.

Yes, corn can be very allergenic.
Yes, corn can be used a filler.

But corn can also have nutritional value! http://www.eaglepack.com/Pages/SP_Grains.html#Corn
