For centuries, people and their animals have relied on corn as a superb source of these nutrients:
Corn has been called a filler, a "hot grain" and a major cause of allergies. The facts are, corn is NOT a filler (an ingredient providing no nutrition) as it supplies many essential nutrients. In pets, corn is NOT a hot grain (causing gastrointestinal upset) because it is safely and easily digested.
In addition, a review of published literature indicates corn was implicated in fewer allergy cases than other common protein sources such as beef, dairy products, wheat, chicken, egg, lamb or soy.1
Balancing act
No single ingredient provides the best protein balance for your cat. That's why Hill's selects a combination of ingredients. The protein building blocks in corn are essential for cats and complement those in other ingredients to give cats balanced protein nutrition.
Golden goodness
According to recent studies in various species, antioxidants in foods such as corn may potentially reduce the risk of some forms of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, strokes, atherosclerosis, cataracts, and slow the aging process.2 Betacarotene, vitamin E and lutein are antioxidants in corn that help protect key cell components from damage.3 Also, cooked ground corn is highly digestible so pets can easily absorb corn's important nutrients.4,5,6
Young pets may need several visits in their first year for vaccinations. Adult pets generally benefit from annual check-ups, while senior or special-needs pets might require more frequent visits.
A natural winner
Corn is a rich source of fatty acids, especially linoleic and linolenic for healthy skin and coat. These essential fatty acids serve important roles in the immune system and central nervous system as well.3 The carbohydrates supplied by corn are an important source of energy for your cat.
As good as gold
Corn is a well-rounded nutritional package and an ideal choice as a cat food ingredient. No other ingredient is as versatile as this golden grain. That's why you'll find corn in some Hill's® Science Diet® brand cat foods along with other healthy ingredients to give your cat precisely balanced nutrition.
If you’re looking for a product without corn, Hill’s offers Science Diet recipes for cats with no corn, wheat or soy.
