Yes Linda, Dr Nick Cave gives his own dog mixes of food as he recommmends. He is the 10 percent man - 10 pecent by weight of other substances as described in my article, to that of the kibble. I would give Taylor somewhat more than this on most occasions - more likely 15-20 percent. By the way, you go on about Cave and Hills like a broken record - hey, more than I do - but in fact Nick Cave recommends any kibble product that is AAFCO tested and approved. Haven't I said that before????

As I have also said before, when Taylor had an allergy and the vet suggested if it wasn't the other more common things, it might be food, his top of the range things were milk and other dairy products, wheat, and beef. No mention of corn. So obviously corn does not rank high as an allergic imposition as do other food items. But it is interesting that you have gone from intimating that corn is harmful as a food and should never be given to dogs to just the fact that corn can produce an irritant reaction in a relatively few dogs at worse. According to Dr Cave cornmeal is perfectly ok for dogs just as beef is perfectly ok for dogs.
