Same as why humans shouldn't eat it, or grains in general. -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 14, 15:59 3
- we shouldn't? -- nm - mud Jan 14, 16:00 2
  - That's a theory, I didn't believe it, but since we've gone paleo I've lost almost 20 lb, mom lost that plus her reaction to meds, no more steroids -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 14, 16:03 1
    - We were always invested in the Mediterranean diet, we have two expensive pasta makers and a pizza oven -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 14, 16:05
Because corn is just a filler, empty calories, and very hard for dogs to digest. -- nm - IrishStephen Jan 14, 15:56 3
- but vs rice or oats? - Reagen Jan 14, 15:58 2
  - If it's plain white rice it's mostly a swap. If it's oats there's more food value and fiber. Dogs can eat a varied diet. -- nm* - . Jan 14, 16:29
  - We feed ours costco salmon and sweet potato -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 14, 16:00
why are you eating pet food??????? -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 14, 15:44 1
- do corn, rice or oats bother you when you eat them in people food? -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 14, 15:51
Likely digestion... Corn tends to pass through. -- nm - VMan Jan 14, 15:42 1
- they need roughage, but also if it's ground up that's not an issue. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 15:56
GMO? More corn is GMO than the other two? -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 15:28 2
- probably not, but that's not an angle I'd be concerned about either. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 15:29 1
  - Actually it is. More GMO that is. Especially the stuff that's used as filler. -- nm* - . Jan 14, 16:31
