The agency said it’s continuing to research a possible link between certain pet foods and canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs. The FDA said certain dog foods — many labeled “grain-free” — that contain a high proportion of peas, lentils and other legume seeds and/or potatoes in various forms as the main ingredients have been associated with reports of the disease.

I noticed they are pretty much higher end priced dog foods. What’s up with that?
This is why my dogs always ate at the table with the rest of the family.

Sooooo…… Mooch might wind up with heart attack?
I don’t see Jim Dandy on the list… we are safe!!!
Before they were domesticated, didn’t dogs eat meat and bones and maybe a bug or two? What changed? It seems to me that removing grains and substituting legumes and roots is mainly switching from one unhealthy diet to another unhealthy diet.
My late BFF Carl (“I’m just a simple country programmer”) shared his home with quite a few dogs over the decades I knew him. All of those animals were healthy, energetic, and good looking. He fed them some table scraps but mostly raw meat and uncooked bones. Carl always said that cooking bones in particular destroyed their beneficial nutritional qualities and made them brittle and somewhat dangerous for his boys and girls to gnaw on. From my perspective, his results were very persuasive that he was right on the money.
Glad I switched to eating catfood instead.
Liberal jerks ruin EVERYTHING. Now, they’re killing your dog.
Live your life wiethout their advice.
Cases reported / _weight_ of dog food sold – would have been a better measure of possible causation.
So all these people that are supposedly allergic to gluten are gonna have heart disease according to this.
Are we sure it’s not the Vegan Treats the Prog owners are feeding their dogs that are not causing this?
Who paid?
My pups get a raw diet. My eldest dog died around 2 months ago, age caught up with her. She was 15, just a 60 lb mutt, BFH is painting her her image for me. Gonna give it to my wife on our anniversary.
The other 2 are doing great.
So what the heck is Grandma going to eat?
Like wolves, coyotes, foxes, etc. graze in the grain fields.
Feed your dogs MEAT.
