p.s. In addition to preferring grain inclusive/non-legume heavy formulas at this time, I’d recommend avoiding feeding exclusively or frequently lamb & rice formulas, particularly ones low in protein and high in ash, as well as those from a company less experienced and knowledgeable in safe formulating.
Ditto very high fiber formulas long term, absent a compelling medical need as advised by your vet.
Both have long been associated with higher risk for DCM, and showed up again in this most recent FDA compilation list of 560 dogs.
Watch that your dog is eating the expected calories to obtain the amino acids and nutrients needed, and if not (in order to keep lean body condition), look for a formula better suited in caloric & nutrient density for your particular dog.
