Nutrition

• Because of our decades of nutrition research, we’ve seen evidence that nutritious grains like corn produce positive outcomes in dogs. Gram for gram, nutritious grains deliver more complete nutrition than the ingredients that brands typically use to substitute for grains, like potatoes.
• When it comes to the nutrients dogs need, grains deliver. They provide antioxidants, energy-rich carbohydrate and fibre to promote digestion.
• Grains are team players. Our long-term research has shown that grains like corn are key for helping dogs digest other nutrients in their foods.

So why have grains and corn become the object of debate when it comes to giving dogs the best nutrition possible?

Well, we think it’s due to a couple of myths.

Truth #1 – Dogs are not Carnivores

Many people believe dogs are carnivores. In fact, dogs are omnivores, and even wolves in the wild derive nutrition from both plant and animal sources.

Many People believe that dogs are allergic to grain. Here’s the truth.

Less than 1% of dogs are allergic to grain. This small percentage of dogs, once diagnosed by their veterinarian, will require a prescription grain-free product formulation. However, for the other 99% we believe the responsible thing to do is to provide them with the best formulations for their needs, which include grains.
