my dogs have a bad reaction to any food unless it is grain free-can anyone tell me if this is truly GRAIN FREE?

Hi there, try the Castor & Pollux Ultramix duck, sweet potatoes and whole peas variety. No grains. Sometimes grain free products actually have rice in them (which is a grain) This particular product has no rice or any other grains. Regarding the Natural Ultramix you show in your email, I can't confirm whether it has rice or not. Hope this helps! Happy shoppingVicki, World Organics Direct

I dont have this food now, but it does have Barley in it. No corn, wheat or soy. Honestly, the best food for dogs is a raw diet. I've switched my dogs to the diet and they are all doing so well. No itching at all and their poos are tiny. I used Big Dog Natural. Its available online. Its dehydrated, no grains of any kind. You mix it with hot water.

Nope! The food itself doesn't smell great, (no dog food does) and it might smell a little fishy, but my dogs don't smell bad at all! Since we switched to this dog food their gas doesn't smell bad like it used to either.

Origen has a small bites version with a Boston Terrier on the bag but I dont think Amazon carries it. Look up Origen small bites dry dog food (Im not sure if it is grain free though). I switched my Boston from NB Synergy to Blue Wilderness Salmon and she loves it! I needed a grain free food because she is allergic to grains and BB Wilderness Salmon fit the bill! I cant believe how much better my Boston is doing!

I don't really know "how" it can be healthy for dogs; all I know is that everything I've read says it IS! I would imagine that would be in moderation and cooked in something. Ask your veterinarian to be sure.

Wow, that is very odd. My dog is fine with this food, but is fussy from time to time so I switch it up with PRIMAL FORMULA brand, and also give the Stella's Surf and Turf and the chicken. Why not call the phone number on the package for more information from the company' maybe they could shed some light on it.

What is "wheat germ"? What is in it? How is it made. I guess the question is "where does it come from"? It is in quite a few dog recipe in smaller quantities. I wonder if it is bad for them? Do you know?

21.0% minimum and this food is grain free. My two Shih Tzu's and my English Bulldog all love this food. It was recommended by my vet.

In all the research I've done, everything I've read says it is GMO free. Reason being that it is grain free.

Can't say that I have, and I have 2 dogs that have been on this for a few years now. In fact, I have seen a big difference in my dogs health since they have been on it. Sounds there is an ingredient(s) that your dog is allergic to? Might want to be careful with any product you buy until you find out what is causing the reaction?

Yes it is. I will mention one thing ... my Papilion started getting itchy spots on his belly and I'm not sure if it was from this product or another one of his treats that contains grain products. This contains Corn starch, Rice flour and also corn derivatives. The point is ... I stopped giving him these and the itchy spots went away. I did research and grains were the cause.

according to their website it says it contains 'no wheat grain' but not specifically gluten free so I would assume it contains gluten of some sort. I'm sure you could email them to verify. Hope you can take these vitamins, I swear by them.

This is an excellent product. We started our kittens on it. As for the label, it says it is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCOfood nutrient profiles. It is grain free, no meat by-products. Grain free and no meat by-products are important things to look for on the label. Gluten is hard on their digestion and meat by-products range from feet to guts. Hope this helps. P.S. I bought 2 cases of this after bringing them home from the breeder. After about 2 weeks of feeding this to my two Ragdolls, they decided they didn't like it and we were "told" to get something else! This is an excellent product. We started our kittens on it.

I had started out with the Wellness grain free reduced fat formula, and then for a while I went to another of their reduced fat formula, which was not grain free. I did mix the two foods for at least a couple of days, had no problems. I then went back to the grain free formula, and did mix for a few days, no problem. I have always mixed foods, just to be on the safe side, and they have all been the same manufacturer. Hope this helps.

Dick van Patten's Natural Balance Limited ingredient diet. Lamb and Rice, They let you know when they are going to change the dog food so your dog does not get sick(unlike Blue Buffalo putting turkey in and my dogs were sick)

Sorry, I looked all over the can carefully and could not find that info. If I remember right, pet food products are not required to furnish that info. We have a very large standard poodle who has bloat problems so we only feed him grain free food....dry and canned mixed together. We have been using it for several years and have had no problems.

I don't know - I stopped using it very shortly after I bought it because at the time it had corn gluten meal which gave my dog a yeast infection. I have been feeding him the excellent grain-free foods from Fromms and Merrick's.

My dogs use them as a comprehensive food program against allergies. Gluten Free and grain free dog food from Flint River, treats too. The pill pockets could trigger horrible ear infections, so I use the grain/gluten free variety. So far they have not shown to trigger allergic episodes.
