Question-3
> If my dog is eating a BEG diet but has no symptoms, should I test for DCM or switch to a different diet?
Answer>
“It’s unlikely that most dogs eating a BEG diet will develop DCM”. However, given the fact that we don’t yet understand why BEG diets are affecting some dogs and because DCM is a life-threatening disease, I recommend you reconsider your dog’s diet until we know more.
also there no more information/proof that Sweet Potatoes or Potatoes are causing any of these heart problems…
Probably why Potatoes have been used in Vet Diets for years…
This brings some relief when you have a dog that does really well on a Grain Free Potato diet.
Its very hard for some people who have a dog who has food sensitivities, IBD who can NOT eat grains or eat the vet diets.
