What about Grains? I read that you don’t feed them to your dogs . Why not?

I don’t feed grains for a couple reasons. Dogs have no nutritional need for grains of any kind and they are terribly hard for dogs to digest. Grain is also one of the main offenders in allergy problems in dogs. Those 2 reasons alone are good enough for me to not include grain in my dogs diets.

Some people feed them with good results. Some dogs seem to do well with a little grain added to their diet occasionally. If you feed them and your dog has gunky ears or itchy skin, try removing them completely from the diet. (this includes dog biscuits and treats too) You may be surprised that your dog improves a lot and I have gotten emails from folks whose dogs have been “cured” of allergies by simply taking grain out of the diet.

Food for thought and something most vets won’t even suggest.
