Read the average dog food ingredients and the first thing on the label is corn. Dogs and cats eat meat in nature. They are not designed to metabolize grain. So, they get fat, just like feedlot cattle, when fed a dog food with a high grain percentage.

I agree. I think it’s the terrible “food” many people feed their pets. I used to be one of them until I got smarter about the food I feed myself and saw the benefit of feeding my dog a better quality dog food. My dog is going on 12 and is still slim and in good health, in fact, she’s never had a health problem.
