Corn

I write a weekly food column in a local newspaper, and I’ve been asked if corn is harmful for dogs. I understand that it is a filler in certain dog foods.

Crystal, corn is not considered to be poisonous to pets. Certain animals can, however, have food allergies just like humans can, which could make them intolerant to corn or other ingredients. If pet owners feel that their dog or cat may be experiencing a food-related problem, we recommend that they consult with their local veterinarian to have the pet evaluated and determine if a food allergy or other health issue may be present.
