DogPaddle Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Is maize a type of corn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicat613 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Yes, maize is corn. This food is mostly grain, and a highly allergenic one at that. Wonder why they'd go to all the trouble of using so many other good ingredients?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamum Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 All the herbal info looks good, though I don't like Maize being the main ingredient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 It's 28% chicken though I think the reason it isn't listed as the top ingredient is because they have separated the 2 types "chicken meat meal" and "chicken fat". My 2 are loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
