FDA investigation into heart failure
We have remained silent on the subject till now, but we feel that there is a lot of bad information being propagated on the subject of grain free lately.
With the FDA looking into the connection with heart failure and grain free foods, a lot of people have been mislead as to the actual issue and the actual findings. As it stands there is no conclusive link to food being the issue, it was even stated that it seems to be more genetic and breed specific.
Taurine, the amino acid that is being linked to heart failure, comes from proteins. Some proteins are taurine rich and others require more being added. All good dog food companies either have a person with a PHD in pet nutrition on staff or on call. These people have gone to school with the sole purpose of pet nutrition. If taurine is needed, it is added.
Grain free foods substitute barley and oats with lentils and peas. To that end CORN, WHEAT, SOY & BY PRODUCTS have NO PLACE in a healthy pet food, check your ingredients. The only reasons to feed a dog grain free are: Allergies, diabetes, over weight or lack of appetite.
Before anyone rushes out and starts feeding their dogs "fast food" I think some deeper understanding of the study needs to be relayed. The study should be taken with a grain of salt - directly from the FDA study "Another puzzling aspect of the recent spike in DCM cases is that they have occurred just in the last few years." Fromm, one of the dog foods listed, has not changed recipes in over 50 years on some of it's lines.

Choosing the right Dog Food
