The vet will say the food is the best you can get. I have been told they get a nice kickback for pushing the stuff. I bought a bag my dog ate it but it's expensive and the feeding guidelines are crazy.

Corn isn't a problem in the amounts in WD. There are diabetic specific diets if you hare having trouble regulating when feeding the WD.
