Grain Free Diets and Heart Disease in Dogs

[ladyjane]

Great information from a Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist. Too many dogs have become ill based on ill advice from unqualified people who sit on the internet making money for their advice.

I have posted about this for years and I guess if only one person listens, it will be a dog or dogs saved. I wish I could get all to listen, but it will never happen. So....I just plod along and share, hoping it helps someone.

It’s so frustrating that nobody seems to want to listen. I try to tell them all the time but they think they know better or that it won’t happen to them.I have known of several yorkies that had the heart issues because of the grain free food.

I am stunned almost daily by the things I see on the internet that people are spreading as factual when it is obvious it is not. No one looks into things. They just believe what they want to believe.

People have died over the past couple of years needlessly and yes, I am sure many dogs have died because of the misinformation out there.

Blue Buffalo is the worse food to give any dog, they have had many recalls on their food. Help spread the word to all that you know, "do not feed any dog "Blue Buffelo".
Stay away from any "grain free food" period.

Blue Buffalo makes me cringe, they have had lots of lawsuits filed against them for lying about what is in their food. Many many complaints about terrible stomach issues also. They spend the majority of their money on advertising rather then the food.
