So many of you will remember the hot and controversial topic surrounding grain free kibble and the possible connection to a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy (DMC). The study had me very curious because I feed my dogs grain free or limited grain dog food along with some raw. The research was done by large commercial dog food companies such as Purina, Science Diet and a few others. I felt that was a conflict of interest and perhaps their research was more about their loss of business to these so called boutique smaller much better producing dog food. What do I really know... but it really interested me.The other data that was supplied in their research is that with a great % it was a condition that affected Golden Retrievers primarily. My further research showed Goldens have a predisposition to this condition anyway.Now this topic quietly went away, no longer on the mainstream news like it had been practically daily. Here is a recent update on this subject below and while the study is not yet concluded, my thoughts and research at the time I felt are validated. It doesn’t appear to be any connection, and certainly not in our breed. Read the latest update on this topic at the link below.
