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.

There are no grains (as far as I can tell) listed on the ingredient list. Check the ingredient list here - http://premiumedgepetfood.com/products/dogs/dry_food/healthy_weight_i_weight_reduction_formula/. I try to change my dogs food every once in a while. I have used this food several times and I think is very good. I would definitely buy it again. My dogs liked it and did very well on it. I don't know if they lost any weight on it but they didn't gain. It is about 350 calories a cup, 12% fat.

Yes, dogs have allergies. My dogs used to suffer with red, cracking paws; eyes watering constantly, sneezing, etc. until I started feeding Newman' Own. Within 2 weeks, ALL their allergy symptoms were GONE. Also, my vet was amazed how much better their bloodwork was compared to previous ones. I did a LOT of research before choosing Newman's Own Chicken & Rice, and I think it has been very instrumental in their health, as well as prolonging their lives!

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.

Yes it is, so is the coconut flour, or almond flour all of which is wonderful smooth & good for you. I do not eat gluten free but am wild about the coconut products especially the oil which is great for skin, hair, body fat loss, the dogs love it. You really can't go wrong w/any coconut product in my thinking. Enjoy!

the only ingredient is "chicken fillet" - one of my dogs is on a low-fat, grain-free diet... and these are the only "special" treats he can have ;)

Yes, grain free. Trick with the different flavors is picking the right protein source (meat) depending on the breed of dog you have to maximize thr benefit, the lamb and rice is the most neutral.

Keep in mind that non-prescription supplements are medication and we best serve our pets by learning all about them from a licensed veterinarian. Because supplements are not regulated for quality, it is good to talk with a vet when choosing a brand. This is the brand that my family vet sells, so it's probably not poor quality ingredients that made your dog throw up. And your dog's stomach upset may have had nothing to do with this medication. All good reasons to talk to your vet. There is no replacement for the peace of mind that she can provide. That said, my dogs absolutely love this brand and none have experienced adverse reactions.

My dog eats grain free foods....his snacks are also grain free or fresh vegetables. He takes his allergy pills either plain or in cheese, but because he continued having skin issues, I also give him the most potent allergy meds from the dr. These, together with a natural soap that I found in Virginia, have alleviated his itching, have enhanced his appetite and he's a much more content dog at this time. We've also lessened his seizures to almost never!

No. it is a green powerdery looking bumpy substance, with a few bits of veggies and meat. Once you rehydrate the food, it has the substance of soft mud. I can say NOTHING bad about HK,. I started my dog on it as he was losing weight on other foods, had diarrhea, would not eat. he was doing performance sports at the time(agility) and needed calories and to maintain his weight not loose. His breeder and I were talking, after I had gone through many different types of food and told me that one of her other clients, who was also an Aussie, had had the same problem. with HK it cleared it up. what did I have to loose, so I bought some and the rest is history. NO more diarrhea, no more soft stools, etc. To this day at 14+ he eats HK, as well as my young Aussie. It is easier for them to digest. There are different varieties of HK that suggest adding meat. I use Force which is a whole food. Your dog will love it!

I really do not know. Our dog was real healthy and she died a natural death at the age of 14. We always fed her Premium Edge and she had no health problems. The label should tell if it contains probiotics. Sorry I could not be more help.

I am not familiar with that product, so I can't offer any information. HOWEVER, I recently changed my diet to grain free, like a paleo diet, and this has helped some to relieve soreness and stiffness.

I would say this is not a bad idea at all. If it were me however I would not mix it. But give either or , maybe every other day or so. This way you can keep up with the right amount of food to prevent over feeding and getting over weight.With the less expensive brand try to buy one that is grain free. Nutro is a good one, but look around. I disagree that giving both is a bad idea. I think it is a good one if it is all you can do. Also can you by brewers yeast? If you can add this once a week to the food, talk to you vet he can give you advice too on this supplement. What breed are you dogs?

This particular variety is not grain free, but Natural Balance does have grain free food. Just make sure the can says "L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets."

I never said "grain free!" You need to contact the manufacturer, not a customer...

We found that Cocoa seemed to get diarrhea. Not completely sure that was the food. We switched and that made things better. We now use a very good quality food that she enjoys: Instinct Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, Chicken Meal Formula. Expensive but Amazon has it available with Prime and Subscribe & Save. By the way, five items with Subscribe and Save and you save 15%. Nice when regularly buying expensive dog food.

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.
