Health & WellbeingBenji was put on grain free food by his vet but I don't really think he needs grain free food or that it's a healthy choice. I have him on Blue buffalo grain free and want to switch to regular Blue buffalo is this a good decision and a healthy one?
Most pets do not have grain allergies. More commonly it's the protein source that causes allergies. For most dogs, grain free is not recommended. For general food, I recommend the brand Royal Canin. It is low residue and highly digestible and this results in great stool quality, minimal quantity and low odor. I also like Nutro and Purina Pro Plan. If you want to rule out a food allergy, the fastest way is a proper food trial using a hydrolyzed protein diet. I hope this helps.
