Gluten And Grain Free

In our gluten-free dog food recipes, the only grains we use are whole grains like brown rice, which we know are nutritious because of the fiber, carbohydrates, and selenium that they provide. You will find brown rice in our Turkey Fare recipe.

Grain-free dog food diets typically use potato or tapioca as the underlying starch, which is what you will find in our other three recipes: the Chicken Cuisine, the Beef Mash, and the Pork Potluck. The starch found in these grain-free dog meals is important to providing a balanced diet.

We sort of make the differentiation between processed grains and individual, heavily processed items that are extracted versus a whole grain like bright brown rice that we know is nutritious for humans because of the fiber, the carbohydrates, the selenium that it provides, just to name a few. As such, we will continue to use healthy whole grains that we think are nutritious, safe for dogs, and overall promote wellness.
