I don’t pay any attention to specific brands that are mentioned in the report.
They should just say AVOID GRAIN-FREE DOG FOOD across the board, all brands for now! Also avoid legumes, peas or at least make sure they are far down on the ingredient list.
Also, don’t you think it’s odd that all the brands mentioned are high end? I think that pet owners that buy expensive dog food are more likely to take their dogs to the vet for every little thing and demand testing.
An echo costs abut $350, taurine level is expensive too, at least $200. These would be needed to diagnose DCM
Do you really think the people that buy supermarket dog foods are going to go along with that…
Fromm is a good food (grain-inclusive formulas) imo.
