Grains are inflammatory, and to my understanding, makes a bigger difference in large breeds than in smaller ones-in addition to being a common allergy (the whole group of grains in general)
I don’t shy away from good grains in my dog food-brown rice, oatmeal, barley, etc… as none of mine have issues with it. In fact, one of mine may be reacting to peas (still testing this) so I would be leaning towards grain inclusive more anyway.
My comment on Fromm’s 4star is because the grain inclusive are all lower in protein, and I try to stay around 30%, and am pushing even higher now that I’m down to 2 as of this month, as the third couldn’t handle the higher 35% and higher proteins.
