Personally, I am against feeding grains to my dog. I know there are a lot of different opinions about this. When Gracie refused kibble as a puppy I started cooking for her until I could find a solution. She pretty much made the decision for me by refusing any food I made with grain in it and scarfing down the food that I had only added sweet potato to. I guess she thinks she is some kind of a dog food connoisseur.
