Just curious what exactly constitutes a dog food brand being named a “boutique” food? Is it because they do not sell to the big food chains such as Petco/petsmart? Also how long should dog food manufacture be in business before they are not considered a “boutique” food hence being deemed unsafe to feed if anyone is concerned about their pet and DCM?
What happened if the answer is no to my questions above but do work with a nutrionalist in producing their food? Is it safe to feed then.
