I have a 6.5 month old lab puppy, so I'm feeding him grain-inclusive kibble until further studies determine the seriousness of this study. Be aware that even some grain inclusive kibbles contain peas. Read ingredient lists carefully.

Does your dog need grain free or more,likely limited ingredent? Our Lab mix we fought diahrrea for nearly 3 months before our vet put him on LID. His issues stopped over night. If you want to feed treats, try sweet potatoe fries.
You can also start a puppy out by making long green beans a treat for them. Since they don't know any better the bean becomes a dog treat.
Did it with my Great Dane puppy. Till the day he passed on he'd kill ya for a green bean. :C

I have nothing against this food; we buy the Costco branded version of it (120-160lbs at a time).
I too agree the grain free diet fad is pure marketing. They are selling “feed your dog what a wolf would eat in the wild”. But then then tell you this fairytale of what wolves eat in the wild. They leave out the facts of wolves eating organ meat (meat byproducts) first then muscle and finally bone (meat byproducts); and wolves eating vegetation (grass) in the summer. Almost forgot to mention the consumption of rodents, birds, and invertebrates (more meat byproducts like feathers).

But why let the facts get in the way of a good story.

I never jumped on the grain free bandwagon, since it (to me) seemed obviously a marketing gimmick much more than science. Plus I've personally known more dogs to have issues with particular meat protein sources than with grains. But I still tend to believe that what's good for humans is good for (most) dogs--a wide variety of healthy food.
