Your dogs are probably normal.  Most do not have an issue with wheator corn
or soy.  The reaction however is not like a human who 'suddenly breaks out in
hives and can't breathe' for dogs.

I can also toss a bit of bread to mine. 2-3 days later (maybe sooner) I'm
watchng itchy skin, toe knawing and ear infections.
