Very true... there are definitely a lot of variables. But I do think food has a lot to do with little things like that.
I will notice little things with Jackson that I am sure are related to food (and he's been on "high quality" food his whole life, but not ALL of them work for HIM). For example Wellness and Fromm caused him major eye goop... the moment I took him off those foods, and switched to another, within a few days the eye goop completely stopped. So I do think certain ingredients, etc, just don't work for some dogs.
I am sure a lot of dogs process grains perfectly fine... in fact I know they do. I don't honestly think Jackson would have an issue with a grain inclusive food, and I also don't think that EVERY dog should be on grainfree. Grain-free has turned into a gimmick as well. I'll see a bag that says "grainfree" on the front and you look at the ingredients and it's basically a sack of potatoes... I don't think potatoes (a food full of them) is any better than feeding a food with oatmeal, barley and rice.
