I believe the reason that corn is listed as a no no on some sites is. It is used as a cheap filler for the cheap foods. That filler has absolutely no nutrition for dogs.
If I had to choose between a food with a little corn and no preservatives or a grocery store food. I would choose the lesser of two evils, the one with a little corn and no perservatives and human grade meat. It looks like that beaverdam is still better than grocery store choices.
Not my feeding choice but still better than some.

I totally agree.

I've also searched and can't find ANYTHING that says that corn is a natural part of a coyote's diet....

The g'friend just has to be better about watching her when she gets let out. G'friends other dogs, prior to their passing, showed Sam the way...the way to the neighbors garbage.

That would be synthetic vit K. It's not bad, since it's synthetic it may not be fully absorbed. The benefits of vit K in animals isn't even known for sure.

That's the ONLY food Mily tolerates. I tried the $50 a bag raw food from clippers with terrible results.
