Why Grain Free?

[Pam & Trixie]

I emailed Fromm to tell them about switching to their brand for our picky eater Trixie...I told them I liked  the idea of rotation & also to tell them how much she loves the new Grain free Game Bird flavor.

I also asked them for more information about Grain free foods. This is what they said:

"The grain-free recipes were designed for dogs that have either allergies to grains or have special caloric, protein, or fat needs for their high metabolism or activity levels. If used for a regular household dog with average activity levels there is tendency for weight gain. Used in a rotation with our other Four Star recipes seem to work the best for the average, normal given healthy dog."

While Trixie definately doesnt have a weight issue -except being a bit under weight.  So adding some weight on her would be good.  Shes an active dog. But I wouldnt call her real active.

For those that feed Grain free only - why do you feed it to them? Was it one of the above issues Fromm mentioned?

 

Im not sure if I could get her to eat a Non Grain free food- they way she turns her nose up at everything now but this new flavor.

 

For now Im not worried about her eating all grain free...But at some point it may be an issue....

And I am curious about why others feed grain free.

 

Do others agree with what Fromm said- That rotation between grain free & not grain free is best?

We've tried the Surf & Turf and Lucy just doesn't like the taste of fish. A shame, really. That's why I'd like to give the new Fromm grain free varieties a try, especially Game Bird, as Lucy is crazy for any kind of poultry. It really would be nice not to have to mix her food once a month (in her food vault), and keeping track of making sure there's always plenty of both varieties is a bother. BTW, we also add 1/2 pattie of Stella &  Chewy's freeze dried Chicken Dinner, as well as a scoop of Fromm's canned Shredded Chicken to her meals. I know, I know... she's a spoiled little girl...lol..
