I'm confused.

Like many of you, I feed Canidae - an "almost no grain" type premium food. Almost all 6-star foods (from the analysis site) are "grainless". Why?

So, my question is - why is it okay to give them cereal and rice etc.? What "grain" are we trying to avoid?

I know people on here give their babies Fiber 1, Kashi, Cheerios etc. - and lots of the homecookers on here say it's okay.

Are there good grains for dogs? Bad grains? Too much grain?
