My dogs have done poorly on corn based foods.

Come off it David - put up or shut up, for crying out loud. Show us the
proof for this asinine statement. We've been waiting for weeks for you
to support this nonsense. Just as a remidner of the last couple times
you made this silly statement I gave you some facts. I'll repeat them
again for you.

Corn IS
1. The starch fraction of corn is 99+% digestible in dogs - like nearly
all grains.
2. The protein fraction of corn is more digestible than any other
grain.
3. Corn contain 5 times as much natural essential fatty acids as rice.
4. Corn contains high levels of lutein - a critical micro nutrient.
5. Corn is 20 times less likely to be an allergen than wheat.

Hyponatramia is not exclusive to drinking water alone. It's a
combination of things that cause this problem, like perspiring, not
getting enough salt in the diet etc. I'm familiar with it. Do you know
how much water you would have to consume for it to affect you???

At any rate, getting back to Melinda's original point, no one's gonna
convince me that moisture in *dog food*, or water in a dog food can
kill your dog. That has got to be one of the most idiotic things I have
ever heard. Plus, given the statement from Melinda in response to a
previous poster who warned, "Stay away from chemicals.":

Melinda responded, "Yes, absolutely! For example, too much dihydrogen
monoxide will definitely kill your dog. Chemicals, ick!!"

....unless she forgot to separate the two sentences, it's apparent that
she actually thinks that water is a *dangerous* toxin. I have just one
thing to say "caustic" water and that is, "Bwahhhhhaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Water, ick!!" - ROFMAO!

I mean, that is really grabbin' for straws to suggest that moisture in
dog food is synonymous with toxic chemicals that can kill a dog. I'm so
sure! eyeroll

Gosh, this sure is humiliating. I'm so embarrassed to have
been caught out in a simple-minded joke like this. I'm
especially embarrassed to have been caught out in a public
forum. It's so humiliating. Thank you so much for setting
me straight, and especially for your sincere expression of
empathy. Truly, you are wise and kind in equal part.

No, it's for real, and it's serious. DHMO is included in
every virtually every dog and cat food, although it's
typically mislabeled to hide what it really is. I know for
a fact that it was associated with one of my dogs' excessive
urination and incontinence.


Wow, I'd never heard of it before. So what do they label it as, do you
know?

Colloquially, it's known as "water."
