[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, if it's about taurine I do not understand this warning based on "grain free" dog food. The warning issued specifically states that dog foods based primarily on potatoes, legumes, etc. I wonder if they are simply talking about low quality feed in general with little to no meat. A dog fed a diet that is based primarily on rice or sweet potato with meat way further down in the list of ingredients is probably not getting a good amount of taurine.[/quote] My guess is that this is it: some of these diets just don't have enough meat. But peas , chick peas, lentils, or whatever aren't causing the problem- dogs just cannot eat these in place of meat.[/quote] That sounds about right. Dogs can't eat a mostly vegetarian diet. They need meat.[/quote]
