My two don't have any problem with most grains, so I do feed them. I homecook, and make sure that the grains they are getting are whole grains-I feed whole grain pasta, barley, rice, and whole oats. There is protein in whole grains, so that makes the overall protein content of the food higher.
I do agree that most grain free commercial dog foods are simply better foods because of the ingredients in the recipe and the protein content (having more meat). If I were to go back to feeding kibble, I would probably choose a grain free food purely for the nutritional value. |
