Should you feed your pet a grain-free diet? 

 

With so many pet foods marketed and sold as grain-free, you may be left wondering about the suitability of a grain-free diet for your pet. Not only do grain-free diets lack important nutrients such as certain proteins and fibers, but they may also be associated with a specific type of heart disease. Unless your pet has an allergy to grains, which is quite rare, a grain-free diet may not be the best option for your pet. It’s important to speak to your veterinarian about the best diet that will meet your pet’s specific needs.
