The thing about corn is it’s nothing BUT a filler…nothing in it goes to the health of the dog…and since it’s been used for so long, many dogs are sensitive to it…allergic…

This dog food has a horrible rating, phrannie has a chart and it show Beneful as being one of the worst rated dogs foods out there. I have great packaging, but is almost all grain. Of course if may have grain mites. I would switch you dog over to a better food.

Thanks magichalo…I thought I was going to have to search that out again…you saved me!! :)
