Can We Trust The Hype about Grain-free Dog Food?

There has been a growing backlash against grain-free dog food recipes driven by the FDA's investigation into the possible link between them and recent atypical cases of canine DCM (canine dilated cardiomyopathy) according to PetfoodIndustry (October 2019). Many of the breeds in the study are breeds generally predisposed to DCM and it is not conclusive that grain-free recipes are the direct link to the conditions in spite of the hysteria that can be found in some articles on Dr. Google or Face Book which do not represent ongoing research. Out of 73 million households in the US with dogs (some with multiple pets), less than .01% have been diagnosed. The potential link between grain-free diets has not been established nor scientifically proven at this time and research is ongoing. If you are making a decision on your pet's food, Google is not the best place to get the information you need to make an informed decision. A decision based on hysteria is not the best way to choose a food for your pet.

I am proudly affiliated with companies that manufacture their food in the US in small batches to ensure that your pet's food is fresh from the manufacturer to your front door. These companies have never experienced a recall and stay updated on the continuing research into this issue. You can get customized food specifically developed with your pet in mind.
